KANGAROO - CATENARY ANALYSIS

Contnuying with the investigation arond Grasshopper resources.

I started studying the kangaroo physics plugin for grasshopper, that allows structural analysis for domes, and some other physics effects on structures.

This is the first examle done with this plugin, where we can see how we can create a Gaudi domes, from the study of the catenary, using some forces to deform a rectangular mesh.
