Force Between Points?

Hi,

i need an aproach to the following idea:

Lets say i have 5 Points here: Point A, B, C, D, E, F. For each point exists a table with relationships to the other points -

Distance between point A to B=20%, C=40%, D=24%, E=80%, F=120%. According to one "global" distance. These relations exist for every point. Now i want Grasshopper to move the points according to the "relations-table".

Is something like this possible? Kangaroo? (i have never worked with it, so where could i start if thats the right tool?)

The basic idea is not to do this with 5 points but with ~100 of them. The result should be some kind of clustered points according to their relationships.

Any Idea or help would be awesome!!

Thank you so much!

Cheers

I would use anemone. For each point(t), you need a vector towards all the others, the distance of those vectors (your question does not detail enough) you apply the proportions of the relations-table. Adds all vectors and point(t) getting the point(t+1).

The relationship table should be a tree of 'n' branches and 'n-1' elements in each branch. Instead of using a percentage, use between [0-1).
The global distance how is it associated with the table? Where does that value come from?
