Custom Goal: Constrain Proportions

by Leo

Nov 20, 2017

hi Daniel, hi all, 

a while ago we set up a Kangaroo2 simulation, which adjusts a series of meshs towards a target volume. 

In order to gain control over the proportions of these volumes i am looking for a kangaroo goal which can limit the X,Y and Z dimensions of the meshs. 

My guess is that this would require a custom goal?

Any pointers towards the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Best, 

Leo

    Am having a similar issue. Was thinking it may be possible to introduce geometries that come close to this. 

    So if you have a width and height size for each bubble, a planar element could be introduced and collided with each bubble based on dimensions provided. 

    See sketch attached.

      Hi Leo

      One way to to do this would be to use a SolidPointCollide component to keep the points of the mesh inside a box:

      Is this the effect you were after?
