kangaroo tensile

by etsim

May 8, 2013

hello everybody,

i'm new in kangaroo, trying to discover tensile structures. I searched for some tutorials and started focusing on the topic "mesh relaxation" so using hooke's law.

i'm uploading a photo to try to describe what i would like to start doing.

I wasn't successful in writing a definition, but i would like sort of lofting the lower curve to all of the higher curves applying also relaxation.

an example could be otto frei's structures or circus structures.

i could do some relaxation between 2 curves by lofting the two crvs and then meshing the srf and then passing the mesh into grasshopper.

but i cannot think of what to do when i want to create a unifying tent with holes.

I would be really grateful if someone could explain me how i can get where i want.

    With the Kangaroo there will always be doubts because it is a work in progress..

    Often you will  give punches in the air and even in yourself ...
