This example demonstrates a basic model of a linear array. The array begins in a partially-deployed configuration and deploys fully, using VariableLengthBeams along the mast. At full deployment, the solar blankets are tensioned between the "trunk" and "end" beams by a length difference between the central "mast" beam and the blankets themselves.
