Kangaroo not working...???

Just a simple example to try to understand the process. But nothing happens; the simulation doesn't run. I'm expecting my mesh to relax and change from a planar form.

I've played around with this tool with various forms/approaches and haven't gotten it to work yet.

Is there something wrong or am I possibly missing a plug in?

Thanks in advance.

RestLength in a spring is the lenght where it is totally relaxed. Since your rest length is the same as the edge length of your original mesh, your mesh already is relaxed an Kangaroo will change nothing.

Change the rest length and Kangaroo will adapt.

Thank you.
Still didn't yield the results I wanted, however.

Something like the beginning of this is what I'm going for... http://vimeo.com/64514555

In your definition you have a Unary force for gravity, but it hasn't actually been connected to the force objects input. Hold shift while dragging to connect multiple wires, then switch reset to false and start the timer.
