Hello there. Im quite new to Kangaroo, trying to create hanging pendant light kinda thing. So, I want to use stratchy cloth base and a metal pipe, hanging on it forming it with its own weight.
How can I simulate this?

Your base mesh was invalid. Iâve included another way by starting with half a mesh sphere.
Thank you for your time! That is not qite what i wanted. I wanted the mesh to be stretched under the weight of the metal ring attached to it. But thanks again
I have no idea what Kangaroo is doing but fixed your input mesh using a Cone (white group). The output, however, is still an âInvalid Meshâ?

âFactorâ slider for Z Move changed from -19 to +30:
Kangaroo has a Combine and Clean component which in this case turns the invalid mesh into a valid meshâŚ

I canât make it work. Kangaroo is so complicated and mysterious⌠OH! You put Combine&Clean at the beginning, after Mesh UV (Mesh Surface). When I do that, the mesh always sags below the ring, no matter where itâs positioned in âZâ. Valid mesh output but not good!
P.S. There is one point âanchoredâ?

Aha! That one anchored point needs to be at the top of the cone, eh? Combine&Clean must have modified the point list, so I sorted them by âZâ. Works now.
