Goals and Kangaroo solver

“

So we're in the process of implementing our generative design model, specifically we just set up our structural system and now we're going to prepare it for optimization using a physics solver. So if I look here I built out the structure, and it looks like kind of a mess, but it's adapting to the form of our roof surface, Now we want to set this up for optimization. So each of these curves, we want to explode them. These are polylines, and we're going to link some of them together. We're going to group them together based on how we want to apply forces. So these top curves we want to apply similar forces. And then the next layer down we'll group separately. This is the lower level. And then we also want curves that go from the bottom here to the ground. In order to do that we're going to go back to our original column, this is our sets of points that create our columns. And we will create curves that link together all of these points. So the way we do that, we'll go to Sets, Shift…
