Your def requires "some" mods (BTW: always flatten anchors).

Until then ... have some fun with this attached (Load Rhino file first).

Find some time for an example that I believe (although your notes are in your native language) is what you are looking for:

1. The secret is to create a "carrier" (a mesh) and "attach" (see the Entwine and the Bang before/after the KI engine) a parasite (lines) to it when doing the wind thingy.

2. You can run the simulation either individually or for all meshes (and lines).

3. Option above waterline appears not working (but below works). Ignore works OK.

BTW: Obviously you can add any "parasite" collection.

Say: by connecting the lines and forming a "classic" 3d grid kinda a tower LBS combo of beam/column axis etc etc etc. Or making a far more imaginative LBS or a freaky truss or whatever anyway.

Notify if you need more elaborated control on the anchor points (or examples about how to "bend" a tower or a cat or a dog ... or even an alligator, he he).

BTW: if the Event Horizon (he, he) info panel (the pink one) displays NaN it's a rather clear indication that the wind forces ... er ... are Not "suitable" for this world.

double zero = 0.0; 
Print("{0} / {1} = {2}", zero, zero, zero/zero);

double nan = Double.NaN;
Print("{0} + {1} = {2}", 3, nan, 3 + nan); 
Print("Abs({0}) = {1}", nan, Math.Abs(nan));
