Simulating tensile meshes

“

- [Instructor] In the last video, we looked at setting up a Grasshopper definition for a tensile structure using the Kangaroo add-on. I'm continuing here in exercise file 005-tensile-structures.gh. Now, we left off generating a field of points that represents our structure, and in this video, I'd like to get our Kangaroo solving outputting an actual mesh, so, one additional goal I can add in here is the show goal, and that's under the main sub menu of the Kangaroo2 tab, so let's bring in show, and what show's going to do is just take that starting mesh plane, pass it through its geometry, along with the rest of our goal objects, and then we should get it as one of these goal function outputs, and I can see my output list has changed a little bit from when we just looked at it before connecting that goal, so, to see that a little bit more clearly, let's connect it to a panel, okay, and I can see, I have two paths here, one containing my mesh, and the other containing all the rest of…
