Rigid Origami Simulation

Hey guys,

I've got a question about simulating some origami patterns and was hoping to get some help please.

I've got a modified crease pattern that I want to simulate rather than fold it manually to see how it forms. Is there any way of doing so? I heard that Kangaroo might have a way but I don't know how to even start with it. I'm trying to create a cured surface out of the fold...

I tried Rigid Origami Simulator but was hoping to use grasshopper instead. I've attached the rhino and grasshopper file and also the folded miura outcome.

Thanks!

Hi,

could anyone help to solve this " error " _wbCatmullClark ?

I am not sure whether it is kangaroo or birdweaver ?

Thank you in advance

Drag a window to zoom ( All Dynamic Extents Factor In Out Selected Target 1To1 ): _Extents
Command: _wbCatmullClark
Please select meshes to apply the wbCatmullClark command to ( Level=1 NakedEdges=Smooth Replace=Yes KeepOnSrf=No ):
Failure in last command. The wbCatmullClark command did not complete.

wb is Weaverbird. I'm not sure why the rhino command might fail. I do know that if your mesh topology is bad that various weaverbird components in grasshopper will fail. Have you checked your mesh topology?

thanks for your answer *^^*

I downloaded an "already made" script from this thread

CreasePatternDeformationSimulation_Kangaroo.gh, 102 KB

I suppose the script is correct, since Lynuz Tan (see above) could use it ?

Any hint on how to solve the Weaverbird path/installation ?

thank you in advance

Hi guys, i would like to get a little bit of help here, im trying to use a origami tessellation onto a mesh

and I was thinking to use every squeare of the mesh for every fold of this pattern but to be honest Im not that good. I would like to get some guidance on this please.

here is the rhino file and thanks a lot.
