Ok, I'm glad you sorted it out. Good luck with your diploma work! I'd be very interested to see more of your experiments...

Hi Marten,

Sorry i was having some trouble making the example definition work. However i have now found a way to bend surfaces through some of my own trial and error - i was simply trying to run the simulation from the example file... posted by Daniel in the forum post that you linked to. Not sure why i couldn't get it to work but it seems that I have managed when building it from scratch with hinge force plus triangulated mesh. Thanks very much for getting back. Your work is inspiring stuff and im currently undertaking experiments in bending as part of my architecture diploma. Thanks!

Are you able to post your definition?

Hi Marten - 

Im struggling to get the bend surface definition to work. Can you advise what may be wrong. Is it something very simple? When i set the simulation reset to false the mesh disappears...

Cheers

Chris

Great stuff thanks Mårten

Hi Chris, you can try the files posted by Daniel Pikers in the comments section below this video (page 2)? http://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/kangaroo-bending-validation

My definition is based on that one.

Best,

Mårten

Hi Marten. Are you able to post a full version of the definition or a high res image. I am currently learning kangaroo and trying to deform a grid of lathes into position - as the form finding process for a grid shell. I havent yet found any example files even basic ones of the bending force in GH being used and am not sure what are the criteria are, or necessary input geometrys/points in order to make the bending force work.

If you have anything that could help!
Thanks

Chris
