I fixed the Kangaroo part of the model for you.

- I exploded the polylines so that Kangaroo sees each of the line segments separately

- I put it through a line component before the geometry input which seemed to keep the geometry output happy

- I added some extra spring components for the members that were not included

- I changed the timer to 10ms

 

The main thing you need is diagonals! It falls over because you have no way of carrying shear in the trusses. I'll leave that to you to fix.
