Engineers and architects working together at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed the software, known as particle-spring systems. This means the engineers did the work, and the architects approved the user interface.

A guy named Kevin Cameron writes technical column for Cycle World. For you motorheads out there, if you haven't read his work, you don't know what you're missing.
Anyway, he wrote a column on weight in engineering, and mentioned that an engineering study of the midieval cathedrals was done several years ago and it was determined that they were made as (relatively) light as they could have been, even using modern methods. Pretty amazing to hear that midieval man had that level of knowledge of how to build with stone.
