Curved Helix (HELP)

[Mikkel_Poulsen]

Hello everyone I have mad a simple Helix in grasshopper, where I can define the height, turns and width. my question ís, is there a way to give the helix a curvature along the Z-axis, which represents a hyperbolic function?

Thanks in advance

Hello
it is appreciated you post your script.

this is basic mathematics. You could use sinus cosinus or the component Point Cylindrical
From your equation

radius =sqrt(1+radius²)

Another solution with flow along surface:

Spiral ramp along a surface

One way to do this is with Sporph in Grasshopper or Flow Along Surface in Rhino. The commands morph your helix curve from a base surface to a target surface. [image] helix_flow_along_surface.3dm (177.9 KB)
