Need help simulating behavior of a brick wall

Grasshopper Kangaroo

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on understanding the physics of a brick wall and trying to simulate their behavior realistically. To achieve this, I am using the Kangaroo software, but I am facing two major issues.

Firstly, I am struggling to connect the bricks realistically, especially when trying to link them horizontally. I would appreciate any advice or effective methods to overcome this difficulty.

Secondly, creating a realistic collision between the different blocks remains a mystery to me. If anyone has ideas, tips, or a specific method for handling this in Kangaroo, I would greatly appreciate your input.

I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge in the field and hope that some of you can provide guidance. Thank you very much!

Hi mathi,
From what I understand based on previous questions regarding this, K2 is not the tool of choice for this sort of thing.

Phys.X may be a better solution for you (also linked in the above post). Attached is a sample file in case you end up trying it.

Thank you so much for your help, I can finally get on with my work. I’m working on a more complex project and I’ll be coming back to this page to keep you informed of my progress. Thanks again.
