Again Catenary

by Lio

Apr 28, 2011

Hi all,

in this simple definition I started from a line, subdivided into X parts and thenI used it to generate a catenary.

How can I generate an interpolation curve between the particle output?

Another question (and most important): is there a way to have a spring without extensions, so to be rigid? For example if I start from a polyline with 10 equal segments, after the "relaxation" I find different values lenght; in this way my chain is not unflexible as for Hooke's law.

Thanks so much

Lio

    First Question quick answer,

     

    If you plug the subdivided points into the Geometry Input in correct order, you will get the geometry output which can be connected in correct sequence.

     

    Second Question,

    Not sure if a very high stiffness would do the job?

    Because the small line segments is not restrained to bend, to it will still perform the catenary.

     

    Cheers
