Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hello everyone!
For my thesis I'm studying glass facades supported by tensile structures, so I'm trying to replicate the behavior of cables in a vertical facade in Grasshopper, in particular with Karamba. 
By now I've done a beam component for the cables and a mesh that simulates the glass.
The forces I want in my cables are the pretension, the weight of glass applied to attacks and the wind as a point load on the attacks. On the glass I want to simulate the wind as a mesh load. So my question is: Karamba is the best plug-in to do that structural analysis? If yes, can I transform the "mesh load" of the wind in "point load" just for the cables and maintain both?
