Hello everyone,
I’m working on simulating the behavior of a bicycle wheel, especially when some of its spokes are either broken or under uneven tension (or compression tolerance).
In reality, when a few spokes are damaged or loose, the wheel starts to wobble. By tightening or loosening the spokes, the wheel can gradually return to proper alignment and function.
I’d like to simulate this in Grasshopper:
- First, a rotating wheel
- Then, the dynamic behavior of the spokes, so that when one or more are missing or uneven, the wheel begins to wobble interactively.
Could anyone guide me on how to approach this simulation?
Thanks in advance!
