Testing and adjusting goals
lets you simulate the behaviors of real materials and forces in the world. In the generative design process this is useful for form finding, structural optimization, and simulating dynamic structures. To set up a Kangaroo simulation you create input geometry and then apply goals that define what you want the model to do or what you want to optimize. that may be so obvious in the real world we forget to incorporate them into our model. In this video we will walk through an example like this where we do adjust and add goals to get the behavior we're looking for. In this exercise we will consider an inflated dome, similar to those used for sports fields. We want to simulate what happens as the volume of air within the dome changes, including if the air is intentionally evacuated, collapsing the dome. This example is based on a Kangaroo sample file, raise in GH. I have the example file open already. First, let's add a Kangaroo Solver and set it up to visualize the dome mesh. Go to…
