Does Kangaroo component not support dome geometries?

The Geometry input takes either Points, Lines, or Meshes as input.

The Geometry output then outputs this geometry moved by the physical simulation.

If you have any other sort of geometry you want to move, you have to use its points (eg the control points of a curve) as the input, and then use the post-simulation points to reconstruct the physically deformed object. The Geometry input/output preserves Data Tree structures and list order, which helps with this reconstruction.

I understand. Thank you. The when I run the simulation and move the slider to increase the tree/pipe radius, the dome geometry doesn't bend with the "pressure" from the vector arrows. I thought the geometry out component creates a geometry around the newly calculated points.

PS- Know of any GH examples where someone is simulating the effect of pushing on a building via parametrized force arrows?
