Inflatable modular system

[gpetrica001]

Hi,
I’m trying to recreate this sort of modular inflatable system in grasshopper. Ive tried a couple of way mostly related with surface deformation by attraction points, but it didn’t quite work, well at all. Also tried to look through post but couldn’t find anything that could help.
Would anyone have any ideas of a system functioning similarly? Doesn’t genuinely “Need” to simulate the inflation, though it would be a bonus.
Here’s a video for those curios by the origin of these images https://www.dezeen.com/2018/05/25/mits-3d-printed-inflatables-could-shape-the-interiors-of-the-car-of-future/

Hi @gpetrica001,

This thread might probably be a good start point?

Here’s a mesh inflation example using Kangaroo2: [inflation_mesh] Some mesh components from Weaverbird are also used. [17] Depending on what your end goal is, you might want to introduce some more simulation elements. A collision plane would be great to introduce some sort of ground condition. You could also add specific anchor points, where the air structure would be fastened to supports or something else. These could be fixed or movable in only some directions to get maybe more interest…
