Bosjes Chapel Kangaroo Grasshopper

[Louis_Perin]

Hi I have to make the Bosjes Chapel in grasshopper using kangaroo. I already tried it by using Rods and also with Mesh, but I cant seem to get the right curvature (sinusoide) in my mesh. I already tried so many tutorials but nothing helped. it seems easy, but i’m just stuck.

Thank you!

Hello
did you made some search ? This question has already been asked.

Bosjes Chapel

hei In my course, we have the task of modelling something architectural using kangaroo. I’ve decided on the Bosjes Chapel and constructed the anchor points, but now I’m stuck. I’ve tried a few things, but nothing has led me to my goal. Maybe I’m on the wrong track and it’s not realisable at all Does anyone have any ideas?

yes, but kangaroo isn’t really used in the code, and in further replies everyone is solving it with other methods. Sadly enough for me, I have to solve it with kangaroo and i’m stuck

Did you read the answer from Daniel Piker (creator of Kangaroo) ?

Bosjes Chapel

I agree with Joseph that this building is not one where it makes sense to use Kangaroo. If the task you have been given is to model something using Kangaroo, then some tensile / catenary / gridshell / inflatable structure would be better. For these types of structures the form finding process is a key part of creating the geometry.

If someone (also a professor) tell you a wrong thing you can tell him you don’t agree.

By the way I am curious to see your exact “task”. Can you share it, also if an other language.

Tell your professor that Kangaroo is the wrong tool for that job That is from the guy who wrote Kangaroo:

We agree Joseph, I wonder if professor is incompetent or if he tests the students ?

We can choose from 4 pavilions, considering the Chapel was labeled as “easy” and my knowledge of grasshopper is not that good, I thought I’d make this one. Maybe I’ll have to try the other ones

[laurent_delrieu]

Thanks for showing the task. What I understand is that the form finding is not mandatory to be done with Kangaroo, but the structural analysis yes.

@Louis_Perin

You can stick to this one. The geometry will be the simple part, but you’ll have to understand what was done by people on this forum. Your job will be to apply the good material thickness, anchor … to the model in order to calculate some data.

You’ll find some description about Kangaroo and structure analysis here

Strctural analysis with Kangaroo2

Hi @es.londo What kind of structural analysis are you looking to do? With Kangaroo you can use real material and load values and calculate displacements and stresses for certain types of structures, such as axial members and rods in bending. So for example, if you have a cable structure, or a pin jointed space frame, you can use real Young’s modulus and section sizing to calculate the correct input values. You can do these calculations yourself, and I’ve made a few posts on this forum about h…

The professor seems competent. Sorry !

Just for fun I added thickness to the roof I did for this in January. White group.
