FlexHopper Intro & Tutorial 1: Cloth Simulation, Collision Objects, Wind, Solver Tuning

Welcome to FlexHopper, fast physics simulation in Grasshopper. Written on top of the common language interface FlexCLI, this Grasshopper plugin offers various modes of physics computation within Rhino.
This video shows a brief introduction of FlexHopper's background and explains how to simulate a cloth of approx. 50000 springs, acting under wind an colliding with a sphere. Tuning the solver options is also mentioned.
FlexHopper is constantly maintained and developed open source, here:
