Generate a Beam with Karamba

I'm trying to generate a simple parametric beam using the tutorial posted below:

I seem to be having issues with the components:

"assemble model", "cross section", "read cross section table", "analyze", "model view", and "beam view".

I'm relatively new to Grasshopper and am having difficulty resolving warning and errors from orange and red components. The main problems seem to be that the components I mentioned above are not receiving data and the "assemble model" component claims to be out of range. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same issue, any thoughts out there?

Hi Ryan,

in Karamba 1.0.4 there is a bug (see http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/karamba/page/new-features-and-bu...) that makes problems when lines with zero length or mesh faces of zero area are fed into the LineToBeam- or MeshToShell-component. Try to check whether this is the case in your definition.

Do the examples that come with Karamba (see Karamba/Examples in the installation directory) work?

Best,

Clemens
