Purpose of the Effort
Use the simulation results to understand what the extent of damage done by the impact has been. Effects of the subsequent fire are not under consideration in this phase of the project.
Use the simulation results also to construct animations and visualizations that vividly reenact of the impact, as it plausibly has been.
From our modeling of the aircraft crash into the Pentagon building, we knew that a critical issue in defining the damage was the modeling of the fuel in the aircraft.

Why is it that they did not show the how and why of the fuel that supposedly fell to the lobby then exploded out of the elevators blowing out all of the giant windows.
THEN continuing down to the B levels and again exploding out of the elevators doing considerable damage completely destroying heavy equipment and also incinerating more people. Also described by multiple eye witnesses that day.
Considering that this was all one event, that is, the 767 crashing into the building and the jet fuel exploding out the bottom of the towers. And the fact they took time to extensively model the way that the fuel load was dispersed throughout the tower and the damage that was caused by the initial crash.

I would imagine that there was a lot of other damage caused by the crash and explostion
Jetliners are mostly aluminum. The only parts of a jetliner that would even budge the core columns would be the landing gear and engines. The aluminum body and wings would do zero damage to the massive core columns.

And the wing spars, keel beam and other heavy structures ...

Spoken like the true modeling and simulation professional that you are!
That is another of the interesting aspects of the P4T crowd. They like to claim they are "experts". FDR experts...now simulation experts. Just curious - what sort of criteria do you folks measure your "expertise" against?

You Trebor are a classic example, instead of coming to the thread to add something, anything to the thread you just simply come to take a sucker punch.

People need to go back to school and learn some physics.

Hey "Treb",
Show me where the 6 inch concrete floors, and steel floor pans appear in that simulation, then we'll talk.
Unless you believe six inches of concrete has no mass, and people/furniture
somehow suspended themselves in mid-air for all of these decades?
Surely, after talking like a big boy you can point out the location of the
concrete floors? The wings would have encountered 7 floors of massive
concrete resistance. (208' x ~ 60' x 6" ) x 7
Once we find those floor pans and all that concrete, we'll get onto the
other errors which I listed.

As for the aircraft: you would have to imagine an entire floor section
launched at the wing tips at 500+ MPH.
