Try this - it's an updated version of a definition with Kangaroo for this kind of wet threads form-finding.

(in the tradition of Frei Otto and Eda Schaur)

You can play with the thread tension, the bending resistance, and the attraction exponent and strength to vary the result.

It needs the latest Kangaroo to run well (I changed some things to speed up this type of interaction)

these can also merit similar results with the right placement of points.

I have another question .. I want to deform a rectagular grid using te paths as attractor or repellor curves.

I was thinking of using Weaverbird but I just downloaded it and dont really know how to use it .. Is the weaverbird suitable? any suggestions on the exact component?
