Karamba3D is an interactive, parametric finite element program. It lets you analyze the response of 3-dimensional beam and shell structures under arbitrary loads.

Karamba3D is being developed by Clemens Preisinger in cooperation with Bollinger und Grohmann ZTGmbH in Vienna.

Dear all,

could you please add a new discussion in case of questions? Postings on the comment wall are hard to follow and not easy to find by others.

Hello everyone! 

I'm doing my final project to graduate in engineering. What I'm trying to project is a footbridge that sail along the coast supported with puncheons. I am new in Karamba. When I considerate loads I had problems how to considerate wave, wind loads and the deck weight. how can I simulated all these loads?

Dear Márcio:

You are very friendly. Thank you so much.

I'm sorry about that I did not describe the problem right. My English is bad.

I means the waffle structure and 6mm steel plate are Welded together. They become the overall structure, and I give the strong power to the overall structure to check the displacement. As it is shown in the image, the green plate is the steel plate, the yellow is the waffle structure. The overall structure is the waffle structure and steel plate are Welded together. How to analysis? Could you help me finish the program again?

Thank you very much.

Comment by Márcio Sartorelli on January 30, 2017 at 7:12am

Hello Qisong,

See attached the changes I made. To parametrize the thickness of the plate you just need to multiply its material density with the thickness (going from kN/m³ to kN/m², or just from volume to surface load).

Hello Márcio,

Thank you for your answer.

Normally I have done as you said. But it's no relate to the thickness of the steel plate. I want to change the thickness of the steel plate to check the displacement of the waffle structure. I uploaded the part of the program. Could you help me finish the program? Thank you very much.

Hello Márcio,

Hello Qinsong,

Do you have the steel plate mesh? If you do so you can use the Mesh Load component, setting the vector force to global in negative Z direction (the amplitude of the vector will be the mesh load (kN/m²).

In the component you can set the points of the mesh witch the load will be accounted, try to insert there only the upper nodes of your waffle structure.

Hello:

I want to know how to make a program and analysis the structure of shell waffle covered with the steel plate.

I want to create the load for the steel plate(6 mm thickness) to check the displacement of the waffle structure.

I uploaded the schematic diagram and part of the program. Any suggestion? 

Please help me.

Thank you very much

Ma

Hello Earth,

use the 'Prescribed Displacement'-component and 'InitialStrain' from the 'Loads'-component to define support settlements and pretension in elements respectively. For details see the manual. It can be downloaded from http://www.food4rhino.com/ or http://www.karamba3d.com/downloads/. Please open a new discussion in case of further questions.

Regards,

Clemens

Comment by Earth on January 20, 2017 at 11:33am

Hello Team Karamba,

I am relatively new to Karamba. I was wondering if Karamba can deal with pretension problems, or support settlement problem where the initial displacement of certain amount takes place that causes forces developed in the truss or frame members. 

Kind Regards.
