If the curvature is consistent, us a radial array group for the mullions instead of a curtain system, then model the glass separately and use the mullions to cut the glass.

How do you make a radial array group with mullions? You can't just draw a single mullion and use the array command on it.

Create an adaptive component with the profile you want for the mullion. Once its created load it into your project. after that, use Dynamo Play and click on the Edit Inputs button. Draw a circle around the opening you have created with model lines. Then using Dynamo Play, click the Select Circle input, type the number of mullions you want, choose the adaptive component family you made and click "Play". you can modify this script to work for many adaptive mullion applications if you want.  🙂 @barthbradley may have another method in his bag of tricks too!

Not sure what @gnarkill283 is looking for.  What I showed above is CW System applied to one wedge-shaped Mass Form - and then the Mass Form, along with the CWS, is Radial Arrayed.

This is pretty much what I did:

...or I could have Arrayed the wedge-shaped Mass and applied a CW System to each one. Six of one; half dozen of another.
