Force density relax

by Antony Joury

Apr 13, 2012

Hi there,

 

im trying to get to grips with the force density relax tool to create a mesh based on a physical model ive made

the original mesh is composed of several open ended mesh boxes joined together.

 

For the point restraints ive baked the naked vertices from grasshopper and reinput them as a collection of points. The idea was that id be able to adapt the mesh to look like my model in rhino like with kangaroo but this isnt working (not sure if this is possible in geometry gym)

The reason i havnt used kangaroo to do this is because the mesh relaxes much more than with geometry gym

I saw this on the geometry gym blog and would ideally like to acheive shapes like this but also be able to move the edges around.

Thanks for any advice,

Antony

      Hi Antony,

      In the past week I started to enable some functionality to "displace" mesh vertex for the force density routine.  You can define a line from initial mesh vertex to required place (apply a restraint at the initial point).  Download from http://www.geometrygym.com/downloads  

      If you can post/email your file, I'll take a look, and I'll try to post an example of my own soon.

      Cheers,

      Jon
