Simulating Motion in Grasshopper

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to simulate motion in Grasshopper, specifically of a tensegrity structure with expandable compressive elements. Thus far I have been trying to do this in Kangaroo, but as it is designed for dynamic relaxation instead of movement over time, the results have been less than stellar.

It also only works for relatively lightweight geometries like this one—too heavy and I can’t get it to produce even a remotely workable animation.

Are there other plugins or softwares that can do this better? Does FlexHopper do motion?

Thank you!
