A relatively small amount of energy will be transmited to the lower parts of the structure that haven't been impacted yet when compared to the amount of energy at the impact front. Once the structure above fails, it's added to the moving mass and the eventual impact energy below is greater than it was above, due to the added mass and increased speed.
You say that the above is a stress analysis, but a stress analysis of what? It's not representative of the WTC towers, for one, and secondarily, you're clearly using it for visual impact only as it's quite impossible to extract any meaningful data from it.
and on every floor a relatively small amount of energy will be transmited to the lower floors, and still not slowing down or aresting....
no it is clearly visible that it is not represantive for the WTC. it is just a very simple model, made in only 5 minutes. it is just to show that indeed energy is transmitted to the lower floors, and not only the most upper one is affected.
you extracted already the only data i wanted you to extract from it
