Snapshots of a single stretching simulation of an ordered hexagonal network are shown in Figure over the first 50.0 µs of simulation time. The snapshots were taken when the networks passed through an unstretched state during the simulation, and the maximum amount of stretching increased between each snapshot. For the first 20.0 µs the network topology remains fundamentally the same, with only small distortions to the positions of nodes in Figure ). After 30.0 µs however we see the ring structure start to break down, and rings with many sides begin to appear in Figure . As the stretching simulation progresses, we see in Figure (f) that by 50.0 µs almost all hexagons have been destroyed and mostly extremely large rings remain.
