KARAMBA: "LARGE DEFORMATION" COMPONENT AND "UTILIZATION OF ELEMENTS" COMPONENT

Hi,

I’m writing you about a karamba component. I modeled a diagrid and used  “Analyze Large Deformation”-component to obtain an hanging model. If I fix the maximum displacement value (“MaxDisp”), I can’t know the correspondent applied force; if I fix force instead, I obtain very different maximum displacement values (“MaxDisp”) changing the number of increment (“Inc”). I would like to understand how this component works, if possible.

Another question: I'm using "Utilization of Elements"-component, it returns utilization for each beam, but I don't understand how utilization in calculated. Could you tell me what is the used formula for the calculation of this component?

Thank you in advance for your attention.
