forces between points

Hey, i am starting to look into Kangaroo, because i think it is the right tool for what i want to do:

I have a network of points like this:

Lets assume point C is kind of an anchor point and will not be allowed to move. for all the connections between the points there is a table for the desired length, but also some kind of a push/pull factor (like magnetic force).

how can i do this in kangaroo2? Or better is it possible?

And if so i would be really happy if someone could give me a little hint on how i could do this!

Thank you so much,

Cheers

A first step would be something like this:

But like i said... is anyone willing to point me to the right way to do it?

OK, i had to understand how kangaroo works.. its not too hard for now...

But i have a question to my approach: what i am doing now is to define how strong and long the connection between seperate points is, based on a line between them - wich is fine for now. BUT its not really what i want to do.

If i have lets say 50 points. 20 of have the ID1 20 have ID2, and 10 have ID3. How could i achieve something where all ID1 push away ID2 and for example all ID3 pull ID1? Maybe like Magnets?

If someone has an idea how i could do something like that... ...please share!!

Cheers
