Kangaroo Surface Minimisation

Hi all

I am trying to achieve a sort of surface minimisation to use within form finding experiments, similar to what is seen in this Kangaroo video:

After downloading kangaroo and having a look at the example files, and also looking on some of the other discussions on here I can't seem to find anything that will help me. I was just wondering if it is possible to achieve this effect without having the WeaverBird Components added? - As I am using a University computer that doesnt have this installed.

Thanks!

Thanks for the example posts. I have now been able to get Weaverbird on the computer I am using at Uni. I have tried both the file Wiktor has posted above and the example files Daniel posted in this thread: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/how-to-create-nodesbone

However on both I get an error message before the definition opens - An output parameter chunk is missing? (3.jpg)

After that I tried to run both definition simulations but some very odd shapes are coming out - not what i expected. I have tried changing a few bits but nothing has worked - I have included the screenshots.

Again any help would be appreciated - Thanks so much for the posts so far and sorry for being a pain with it! I really want to get it working.

Natalie
