Oh that is fun! I wonder about the stiffness of the spring and the stiffness of the bent rod... Grasshopper always uses the term "strength", but in fact, I'm pretty sure they are referring to stiffness, not strenght. Yet, could we simply use the axial "strength" in the rod icon and not create those springs? Seems a bit redundant. Very nice job explaining!
Thanks I actually tried the results without adding the spring goal and the results looks like a simple catenary curve. Exactly, strength is stiffness in the Line component.
Hey. How do you select the grasshopper elements in Rhino? I have recreated the file and downloaded your sample file. The sample file also lets me select items in Rhino, my one doesn't...Also, it is not quite clear to me how to create the points, so they can be moved around. When I add the point component, it is empty of data. Thanks 🙂
