Changes in Example 5-009 are due to a change in the method
of transferring tendon loads to elements (Incident 17300).

Changes in Example 6-002 are due to a change that allows

negative stiffness in link elements (Incident 17151).

Changes in Example 6-010 are due to a change in the stiffness

proportional damping formulation (Incident 17152).

Changes in Example 6-011 are due to the numerical sensitivity

of the problem. See Example 6-011 Conclusions section for
more information.
