this, you'll have no horizontal force at the roller, but you will have it at the pinned support. If you wouldn't, then the structure will be displaced.
Usually, in 2 dimensional structures, if you want to know if an articulated structure is isostatic (as opposed to hyperstatic, which is what you have right now) is to use the following formula:
b+c-2·n=0;
b being the number of bars, c the number of constraints you have and n the number of nodes. In your case: b=19, c=3 (displacements constrained in X, Z at your pinned support and only constrained in Z at your roller support) and n=11, so: 19+3-2·11=0.
I recommend you to download the app SW Truss, as it's very useful to check your results instantly.…
not sure about my method used to obtain the result.I think is really complex; do you know a smart method to simplify all my equation?
thanks guys!! :D…

I want it to be parametric so I can have it for any set of indexes
I have tried to solve it with points and then removing duplicate points but it's not helping much
any help is truly appreciated

he sunPath component works. For example if you want to simulate the hours from 8 to 16 it means you want 8 hours from 8 to 9, from 9 to 10,.... from 15 to 16 (8 hours duration period) so you get from the sunPath component (using default timeStep 1) the 9 sun position/vectors 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 (in the image the yellow suns). The things is that if you ask for a smaller timeStep for example 3 = 20 mins then the additional sun position (in the image the orange suns) are added also after the time limit of h16 so probably when you don't want/need. I understand that when you input a time period there is the ambiguity if the hours are the just 9 (the 9 inputs) or the 8 hours included between pairs of hours, but I would make in a way that it is possible to chose if the extra timeStep after the last hour are added or not. Thank you for your comments.

assigned geometry, and you get a preview too, but I turned that off and opted for real outputs:
My number_of_points should be called number_of_divisions since I have to add +1 to handle the 11 points created by a subdivision of 10.…
the catenary shape
6) Get the mid point of all the heaxgons
7) Create surfaces to get the average normal of each hexagons
8) Project the hexagon on the normal plane
9) Move the plane using the normals
10) create mesh faces between first and second hexagons
11) create mesh faces to close the planar hexagon
12) Orient all the mesh faces on a flat grid to laser cut them
13) Join and weld the mesh
14) Thicken the mesh using Weaverbird to get a shell
I hope this helps. It is all one mesh at the end made of quads on the side and triangles on the top (yes 6 of them).
All the best,
Arthur

ings" [every person on the experiment is one ring] which show the time duration. The outer sphere is divided in 11 segments [which are basically the segments of a human brain] I hav imported the data so far but what i aim is to find a way to connect each moment[time, second] from the inner sphere to a number of points from a specific segment in the outer. For example for Person number1, at 5th second the segments that are activated are 4th , 6th, 11th with 2, 3, 2 points.
It could be done manually but since the connections are a few thousands and i got the lists, i wonder whether there is a better way.
Any help is appreciated, i do not attach files since you need the excel files aswell. If anyone would like to help i can email the files.
Thanks in advance.…
