Anchor a Curtain

Hello, I have tried making a curtain using Rhino/Grasshopper. I want to achieve a similar result; however, I am unsure how to make an anchor point that could function correctly. Attached below are references and the Grasshopper file that I am currently using.
Thank you in advance!

Hello! Are the desirable results achievable through this plug-in?

Yes they are, you should have a look at the excellent Kangaroo example collection provided above.
What you want to do is basically:

  • Define your membrane properties (approximation with spring elements)
  • Use the Target option of the Anchor component to move the curtain to the desired position

Awesome, thank you! I have been messing with different codes and tutorials but none seem to be exactly what I need. Where would I be able to find a tutorial/information for more of the commands you mentioned? Thank you in advance!

For reference I have done this; however, the points are not connected and leave exaggerate the motion that I need.

But you should be more patient with your online research, this has already been solved many times on the forum.
