Can anyone help me with Karamba, please?

Dear all

I'm new to Grasshopper and Karamba and would like to get help from experts like you. I have created a I have created a twisted bridge in Grasshopper and wanted to do a structural analysis to find the displacement. However, the result didn’t seem correct and was ridiculous. Could anyone help me with this, please?

I have posted this thread in the new discussion forum but there doesn't seem any sign of response. Just in case, there's still someone active on this forum, so I decided to post a thread in this forum.

Please find the attachments as they are the works that I'm working on. Thank you very and I very appreciate your help and support.

Dear James,

the bridge deck is not connected to the rest of the structure (see attached file). The 'Eigenmodes'-component is a good tool in such cases to detect kinematic modes.

Use the 'MeshBreps'-component of Karamba3d to include the endpoints of your beams into the deck mesh.

Best,

Clemens
