Shell_ bent elements to form a curved surface

Hey guys, 

I am new with Grasshopper,and my knowledge  is pretty basic, at the moment. :)

I am trying to make  a digital version of a shell with bent elements to form the curved surface(picture)

• One of the obstacles is that the spacing between them is not equal( see picture) and i would like it to be. Dow you know how?
• Any one knows how I could add to the model to test it's forces with kangaroo?

Thank you in advance
