"Hi Megan,
I am on Kangaroo right now. I think what you need is to add some "slack" to your rest length. You are probably using 0 right now as your value? If you use a bit more it will release the mesh area a bit more (0 would mean minimum…"

problems exporting mesh to ecotect

HiI am having trouble with the simple tashk of exporting my mesh to ecotect... It looks like all the mesh is loading(in ecotect)... but then only ends up with one panel...The mesh was previously a…Continue

Hey there!I have (with help) been developing a script of which I can apply openings to a surface... I am now trying to change these openings according to a specific point/ attractor point (I will…Continue

Jon Mirtschin replied to megan sadler's discussion tensile membrane facade"Sure, Hannes is absolutely correct.
I've attached how to emulate these ridge elements in StructDrawRhino.
Note you probably want to apply different ridge strengths to different ridges, at the moment SDR doesn't enable this. But…"
Hannes Löschke replied to megan sadler's discussion tensile membrane facade"I guess the first thing, you need to understand is that your GH model and the reference model are totally different configurations.
In the GH model, the outer edges of the fabric are pulled towards the center. Because of the large area without fix…"
"Hey Jon,
Here are the files, I've striped them down as they were to big to upload, hope they still function ok.
Thanks for your help."
Jon Mirtschin replied to megan sadler's discussion tensile membrane facade"Hi Megan,
If by the term "Not Tense" you mean you want to influence the movement at this location to make it "smaller" or closer to the undeformed line, you might have to add an "edge" element with stiffer properties…"
Hannes Löschke replied to megan sadler's discussion tensile membrane facade"I don't get what you are pointing out with "Not tense"
The meshes relaxed form depends on stiffness and resting length of the springs. Where resting length acts as the relaxed length of your nylon model mesh.
Stiffness of the nylon…"
tensile membrane facade
Hey guysI designing a structural tensile membrane skin (see image).I am trying to digitise this using mesh relaxation-Kangaroo, however even by altering the stiffness of the mesh I cannot get the mesh to be tensile and act as it does in the model. Could someone give me some help, perhaps I need to try geometry gym.. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated See More
Arthur Mani replied to megan sadler's discussion problems exporting mesh to ecotect"Hi Megan,
It is hard to help without the files...
From your description, it seems like you need to "flatten" and then "join" your meshes before exporting it."
Yasser Hafizs replied to megan sadler's discussion Controlling surface openings using an attractor point"your welcome :D

"Wonderful thanks for you help!"
Yasser Hafizs replied to megan sadler's discussion Controlling surface openings using an attractor point"You need to install Uto plug-in to make solar-gain or sunpath vector attractor. I've been made some modification with your definition, maybe can help you little bit to understand it.

"Hey thanks,
So I have written the extra script but cant seem to plug it in to the right place for it to function.
I know in the end it needs to replace the function of the slider..
Thank you"

Mateusz Zwierzycki replied to megan sadler's discussion Problems with evaluated points on Kangaroo"Just use kangaroo settings -> tolerance :)"
Hannes Löschke replied to megan sadler's discussion Problems with evaluated points on Kangaroo"Normally this is due to the anchor points not being coincident with the mesh vertices. Anchor need to be not only intersecting but also exactly on the loaction of mesh vertices.
There is a way to make sure that anchor points are valid. If is…"
