Hi there,
I am new to Kangaroo and I am trying something that is very simple but I do not understand how to get it to work.
What I want is to bend a simple upward standing curve/stick to be bend on the top. A force on the top end should ‘‘push’’ while the curve keeps it relative stiffness. This stiffness I am not able to understand how to put that in.
Furthermore, my objective is to generate a set of points along a base curve and orient/place a variety of these bended curves to those points. Then use kangaroo to develop nets in between these curves.

Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you
Hi @Kawazaaki,
As you know, for kangaroo you’ll have to rationalize your curve into segments in order to treat it as a rod/strip that can bend. Furthermore, your image shows a bend that’s happening along a segment of the curve while keeping part of it fixed? This implies you’re dictating the start of your bend arc along your base line. For something like this it may be better to use the Bend component from grasshopper.
Here’s an example:

Notify if you must still use kangaroo for this goal.
Indeed more difficult task than i thought initially. I made something, but i am not sure that is totally correct.. Because it uses target angle and will fall completely to the side with time (in a few hundred years probably, but still).

A hundred years ago (2021?) I put something together for (whatever, too long to explain):

It was intentionally constrained to stay in place as you nudged and affected it, though that could be changed, I guess.
Not 'gonna tidy it up 
Hi all,
Thank you so much for replying. In the end I just made nurb curves and randomized the rotation and displacement of the top point as it was getting way too complicated for what it should be.
I do thank you for the insights you gave me! Probably will come back to you soon with another kangaroo question 
Groetjes!
