We present a method for dimensional reduction of the solution of the static equilibrium of a lattice-like network of point masses and harmonic springs. The dimensional reduction is achieved by energy-driven or goal-oriented hp-adaptivity. A discrete version of the fully-automatic hp-adaptive algorithm is used to constrain the positions of individual masses to conform to a piecewise polynomial. The...
