This webpage has a javascript program embedded in it that allows you to pull on the end of a two-dimensional Gaussian chain. More details and links to accompanying simulations can be found here.
Simulation Parameters

Once the javascript has loaded the simulation will start with default values. The simulation can be paused and restarted an any time. If you change the values of the parameters, you must hit the "Restart" button to restart with the new parameters.
This simulation is best viewed on Safari Version 5.0 or Google Chrome 8. The most recent version of Firefox is basically compatible, though it doesn't show the sliding bar for zooming. Instead you just have to enter a number between -15 and 15.
