Different stiffness for compression and tension
Is there a way in Kangaroo to define separate values for the stiffness of a spring for compression and tension?

Ownwindow,
Do you mean, assign to the same curve a tension force and a compression force? Or assign one curve with a tension force and another curve wit a compression force?
Both are possible, but the first is maybe a strange way to assign a force (but who am i to judge), cause for instance, if you'd assign a stifness of -1 and a stiffnes of +1 to the same curve, both forces would balance each other out.
Good luck,
