Bending Simulation

Hey All,

Currently, I am trying to simulate wood bending using Kangaroo2. In this experiment, my goal is to have a different bending behavior depending on the kerfing orientations. I try to use simple hinge component to simulate it. However, some weird behavior suddenly emerged from this simulation (problem 1 & 2). It looked like several lines in the end of the strip disappeared that makes the strip did not bend properly.

Is there any explanation why this happened? Any help is so much appreciated.

Cheers!

    great!, i have noticed that since the triangulation has some sort of "direction", in your case from left to right, except the first and last triangulated quad, the simulation shows some direction, torsion like,  preference when bent.

    i am not sure if my description makes sense, but in case you find a workaround for this please post.

    best

      maybe a xyz anchor would do the trick, allowing only x,z movement of the particles. i will try it.
