Hi Andrew -

@a.p.haythornthwaite

Is there an easy kind of tool in rhino to analyse and find this ‘natural’ testing position?

You can use Kangaroo in Grasshopper to do that.

Hi all It’s possible with Kangaroo Grasshopper falling a object on a surface o simulate the gravity? Thank you [image]

Gravity effect

Good morning, Using grasshopper I’m trying to let a three-pieces wooden stick drop from an high just from a gravity effect, to observe how it falls and how the three pieces interact with each other once on the ground. Furthermore I would like to ask you if it’s possible to create a series of falling objects like this, falling one after the other in different timings, and see the way the stack once fallen. Attached you’ll find the first draft file I was able to create. I think the problem could …
