What it does
Physics engine for Grasshopper used for form-finding: hanging-chain (catenary) arches and shells, tensile structures and relaxation. It shapes efficient structural forms; it does not check stresses or code compliance.
What it can calculate
- Form-found geometry under loads (catenaries, funicular shells)
Status
Kangaroo2 ships with Rhino 7 and 8.
Connections
- Used in case studies: Hynek Hrabík
