Double Pendulum

Hi Phillip,

From what I can gather you should only have one Kangaroo Engine per definition. 

The main Kangaroo engine component

To start creating a simulation you must place the main Kangaroo component on the canvas.
(After installation and restarting Grasshopper all Kangaroo components should appear under the 'Extra' tab).

You only need one instance of this component per definition.

Remember that hovering over a component without clicking will show a very brief description of what it does, and hovering over each of the inputs or outputs will display further information.

This means that instead of referencing the dynamic line to create your second pendulum you can reference the static line's end point before inputing the geometry into Kangaroo.

I'll have look to see if this the case and post the results.

Ahhh. I see.

Meanwhile I was struggling by trying to use a separate anchor for the second pendulum.

Once more, you openend my eyes.

Thanks a lot, Danny!
