Hi everyone,

any tips for how i can design in grasshopper a 2D chain that drops based on gravity?

Thanks!

hello benjamin,

we will be uploading more information soon.
thanks for your interest.
by the time you can explore our photo album about the subject where we sketched the phsysics that lie beneath the process. http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/albums/springparticle-system

best,
dumo

I totally understand if you prefer not to share, but I am very curious about the math used to create the tensile form. If you'd be willing to share your algorithm, or even explain some of its aspects, I would be extremely grateful. I'd really like to better understand how tensile/catenary form-finding algorithms work. Do you create a nested loop that moves each point until you reach a certain number of steps? How do you get the vectors for the points?

it is our own scripting component,
it is derived from our first spring-particle system script for tensile and catenary structures form-finding.

very cool. Is this made using Kangaroo or is this your own scripting component?

Excellent stuff! Seems very intuitive.

Really good work :)
