"The file seems to be working fine and generating geodesics correctly. Your surface is trimmed though, so for the curves at the ends there is no continuous geodesic path on the surface between those points"

Geodesics on a sail

Hi:I'm trying to generate the geodesics on a sail to obtain the paterning so i can build it... but it doesn't work. Any sugestion?Tnx.See More

Scarab

Scarab is a set of components that exposes Maxwell Render materials to Grasshopper. Materials can be assigned and baked to Grasshopper geometry.mxBake is the final tool in the chain. Use the Grasshopper bake commands to bake the connected geometry with the corresponding materials.…See More

"Hi Cristián, you need to flatten the "force objects" an the "AnchorPoints" input. See attached file. Best, Martin."

Tensile structures and Kangaroo

Hi.Maybe this has a simple answer I haven't found yet:As you can see in the images, Kangaroo works fine with one mesh, but when I multiply it, it stops working.The mesh or meshes are based in a Square Grid [Sq grid]Where is the error?tnx.See More

Cristián Gutiérrez Vásquez replied to Cristián Gutiérrez Vásquez's discussion Tensile Structure (please help!!!)

"HI :) Tnx for answering. You can use [Kangaroo] directly on a [Mesh UV] using [wbEdges] as "connection" input. But the line mesh i've posted before gives a far more accurate output, as curvature in the edges is more continous and…"

"What you have is already as "realistic" as it gets. The behavior of realistic fabric depends more on how the mesh quads behave. With the diagonals you get a pretty stiff material which is more like a plastic membrane. Removing those will…"

Tensile Structure (please help!!!)

Hi.I'm trying to make a realistic simulation of a fabric hyperbolic paraboloid. To do so, I've applied [Kangaroo] with [Spring] force object to a line net extracted from an abstract Hyperbolic Paraboloid, a simple [4 point surface]. The result of this step it's pretty cool, but i'm stuck:1. How do I reconstruct a surface or a mesh from the output of [Kangaroo]? (I'm out of ideas). As you can see in the picture, the order of the points is a complete mess.2. Any sugestions of forces to apply for…See More

Beam orientation (please, help!!!)

Hi, I'm trying to make a set of parametric beams, but as you can see in the picture, the orientation varies ramdomly as I move the points that defines the axis of the beam. Does anyone knows how to set the orientation acording to gravity in real life?Tnx.See More
