varying force on chain

Hi,

 

I'm still trying to use the Kangaroo from last year. So my first question is does anyone still answer questions about it?

 

Is there are way to apply a different force on each node in a catenary chain?

 

Cheers

    Just use data matching the same way you would with any other grasshopper component.  For each node, you will generate a different corresponding force vector.  Note, though, that you can't use path structures with the old kangaroo, so make sure you flatten your lists of nodes and forces and make sure they are in the correct order.
