Stages of simulation of folding of two "rigid" short rods connected by a "hinge" such as that shown two slides ago

This is from the same paper as the previous two slides.

The process shown here (except for the “pinching” phase) is the reverse of deployment: folding of the “hinged” rod. (Note: “pinching” is not used for deployment.) The next slide shows the deployment sequence.
