By no means I am advanced user of Grasshopper. Read few threads here which lead me to believe someone here could explain to me if I could use Grasshopper and kangaroo for below described analysis. Few threads here provided a script in which a steel wire catenary could be calculated. For case I was i…

Have you looked at the Catenary component? Its inputs don’t correspond to your parameters. [Catenary_2025Apr9a2] I used it to do this: [Catenary_2025Apr9a] Catenary_2025Apr9a.gh (13.9 KB) Explaining it is too much work :bangbang: :wink:
