I’m working on a hypothetical inflatable pavilion, held down by a tensile rope structure where the bubble’s inflation/expansion collides with the anchored rope/cloth making it tensile.
here are two reference images of something similar:
The stage I’m at is that I have succeeded in inflating a bubble and moving the cloth separately and with separate solvers. However, my problem comes when merging the two. the idea is that the movement of the cloth/rope is dependent on the inflation/expansion of the bubble. the bubble shape should deform/expand a little through the holes when colliding with the rope structure. I’m hoping that should i succeed with the cloth, I take the edges, converting to pipe so that it is a tensile rope, anchored down.
I have tried connecting the tree branches to the multipipe and it seems to have worked out. The points at which the pipe and the balloon collide seem to overlap. Is this because the collision if between the cloth mesh’s interior edge crv instead of the pipe?
