## Usage (chain structure example)

```cs

[SerializeField] ComputeShader compute; // GPUVerletSimulator.compute

GPUVerletSimulator simulator;

void Start() {

    const float edgeLength = 0.5f;

    // define nodes and edges.

    var nodes = new GPUNode[nodesCount];

    for(int i = 0; i < nodesCount; i++)

    {

        var n = nodes[i];

        var p = new Vector3(Random.value - 0.5f, i * edgeLength, Random.value - 0.5f);

        n.position = n.prev = p;

        n.decay = 1f;

        nodes[i] = n;

    }

    var edgesCount = nodesCount - 1;

    var edges = new GPUEdge[edgesCount];

    for(int i = 0; i < edgesCount; i++)

    {

        var e = edges[i];

        e.a = i;

        e.b = i + 1;

        e.length = edgeLength;

        edges[i] = e;

    }

    // create simulator instance.

    simulator = new GPUVerletSimulator(nodes, edges);

}

void Update() {

    const int iterations = 8;

    // simulate

    simulator.Step(compute);

    for(int i = 0; i < iterations; i++)

    {

        simulator.Solve(compute);

    }

}

```
