Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi all

I am currently working on a bridge project with the main purpose of finding the optimized shape of the bridge in relation to statics and dynamics. The bridge is a space frame structure and for the optimizing process I am using Karamba+Galapagos.

 

Unfortunately I am getting some errors when calculating the maximum displacement of the bridge, using the Karamba “analyze” component.

95% of the times (when moving a slider), it goes well. I am getting deformations of 100-200mm as expected, and the deformed shape in the Rhino view looks good.
But in the last 5%, I get unreliable deformations of 50000mm or more. What I dont understand about this is that the deformed shape in the Rhino view still looks normal.
Another weird thing is if I move the slider away from the position and then back to the same position again, I suddenly get the result of 100-200mm.
It seems more or less randomly when it gives the strange results.

The model has over time become pretty big. When moving a slider, calculation time is about 5 to 10 sec.
Could this be the reason for the errors? Any other ideas about what goes wrong?

Thank you in advance for your answer.
