Hi there,
I’m pretty new to Kangaroo and I’m trying to model the behaviour of a paper strip (or LED strip) when forced to follow a 3D curve in space. I pin one edge of the strip to the curve and expect the other edge to gently lean inwards and outwards. However in my model I cannot eliminate wiggles in the free edge, see screenshots. Not sure if I’m missing any relevant input components of if I’m just not applying the correct forces. I’ve tried a few things but don’t get the smooth spring behaviour that one would expect. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Start eg. here. And dig deeper once you get the lingo.

Thanks for this, Toni - I already had a look through that page but come to the conclusion that I should probably hire someone to solve this problem - is there a mechanism here on the forum where one can outsource things like this ? Or other internet resources where one can find a Kangaroo specialist for hire?
Another approach would be to build a model and 3D scan it. It might be more realistic than trying to mimic material properties in Grasshopper / Kangaroo
