[Fluxus] visualisation of strings/ plates/ hybrid musical instruments?

[Arxontis Politis]

Hello,

I just came across fluxus which I have to admit it looks awsome!

I was wondering if it is possible to build simple models of strings or
plates (and coupled combinations of them) following a plain spring-mass
principle that you can animate due to an excitation, so a form of physical
modelling of musical instruments, based in waveguides.
I'm curious about the practical side of things, I was thinking of fluxus
doing the visual part and maybe puredata doing the audio one, both receiving
the excitation signal through midi or OSC. Do you think this is the easiest
or optimal route?

I don't know anything about Fluxus at the moment (but I'm keen to learn) so
any suggestions are mostly welcome.

Examples of similar applications I have in mind are the two following (long
ago defunkt) projects:
