Intro

Kangaroo is an add-on for Grasshopper/Rhino and Generative Components which embeds physical behaviour directly in the 3D modelling environment and allows you to interact with it 'live' as the simulation

is running. It can be used for various sorts of optimization, structural analysis, animation and more.
