Kangaroo is a Live Physics engine for interactive simulation, optimization and form-finding directly within Grasshopper.
This example shows the use of the new user object for origami simulation.
As input you provide a flat mesh of the folding pattern, curves to assign as either mountain or valley folds, target angles, and folding amount, with 0 being flat and 1 being completely folded.

Hi there,
I am new to grasshopper and have only just begun to understand parametric design. I am doing my final year thesis of my post graduate degree in Architecture on deployable interactive systems
I have tried to reverse engineer this definition to try to understand how it works. I managed to get as far as getting the Resch pattern to simulate however I can not get it to open/close at the desired angles. I was hoping that someone in this group can help me understand what I am doing wrong. Please find attached definition.
Also is there a way to do this with kangaroo 2 components rather than using kangaroophysics from kangaroo 1
The next step that I would to explore with this is to try to get the valley&mountain fold curves to move with the simulation like a frame which is made up of linkages that pivot.
looking forward to hearing the responses

Hi, I downloaded ur file and tried clicking the kangaroo button, but it is not launching the time control. May I know the reason?

Hey. origami on a flat surface of a circle is diagonal, help me find an algorithm, you can do everything, I ask for any recommendations, thanks for all the tips and solutions
