THIS is what we need!

Daniel,

From what I can see (haven't seen all the videos yet...), this seems to be a very promising tool. There has been a lack of accessible form-finidng tools for us architects. Maybe this will fill that void. How can I get my hands on Kangaroo? Are you planning some form of open testing phase etc? I would love to try it out.

Congratulations Daniel !
I see it both as a design tool, and as a reminder about the laws of physics.
Many designs I see on this site seem to ignore them totally :)

Daniel - Yes, material stiffness would be the most important to use Kangaroo as a form finder for membranes roofs for example. Great would be also if force density, membrane stresses and cable loads could be made visible. Can you apply surface loads to simulate snow and wind loads?

Thanks guys!

Wieland - what kind of material properties would you want to be able to change ?
Things like Stiffness, Mass, and Natural Lengths are adjustable now, so stuff like stiffer edge cables for membranes are possible. I could also try treating shear and stretch separately for fabrics.
Anything else ?

And Tuan - yeah, I think Evolution + Physics could = something very exciting indeed.

galapagos + kangaroo = ?
