Helix spring simulation?

by Billynew

May 16, 2017

Hi all,

I am totally new to Kangaroo and any advice or pointer would be welcome!

I'd like to simulate the deformation behavior of a simple helix spring. I've followed some online tutorial and learnt how to create spring behavior. I attached my test file. My question is how to reflect such behavior to a helix spring geometry? I created a helix curve and connect the helix curve line to the "Geometry" input of the Kangaroo Engine, but the helix shape didn't change.  

Thanks!

    Will the helix geometry compress/stretch in a linear way or bend in all kinds of directions?
