Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Creating elastic membrane constrained by multiple anchor placed on two different height.(wb&kangaroo needed)

Greetings.

I'm turning a type of hand-made models into digital models.

Here's some picture of the models.

As you can see, a surface is fixed in the air while two types of sticks pull the surface into a wave-like shape. So the shape is determined mostly by the stiffness of the surface and little by gravity.

With the help of gh and kangaroo I can drew this prototype to pull two point up and down separately:

And here comes a few questions,

1.The outcome is not realistic, and dividing the surface with more meshes doesn't help. How could I make it more natural?

2.The outcome is web-like curves instead of surface/mesh, so is there a way to rewrite the canvas to make the outcome a surface/mesh?

3.Although I can drag one point up/down far or near by varying vector, I can't determine the distance. Is there a way to determined the distance or drag to certain point? 

4.Is it possible to drag a surface(eg. a rectangle) instead of a point? Since the section of the column has certain area.

Thanks a lot!
