 /**
  * Modified link force algorithm
- * - ignore alpha
- * - removed bias
- * - modified strength calculation
+ * - simplify calculations for parameters locked for spring model
  * - removed other unused functions
- * Making it more suitable for the spring model.
- * This should initialize and perform calculation a bit faster, and also
- * use a bit less memory
+ * Alpha should be constant 1 for accurate simulation
