Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

I'm trying to take a look on any of the stresses in my shell model but when I try to do so the ShellView turns out red and doesn't generate any result. It doesn't work with the displacement results either. As far as I can see, only when I click on the cross-section render option the box doesn't go red and a rendered version of the shell appears in Rhino. 

I'm on the trial version of Karamba and limited my mesh to 42 elements. Does anyone can help me? See the attachment.

hey rafael,

do you run the latest karamba version?

i can at least display the displacements.

but basically your mesh does not have coinciding nodes - you have to join your surfaces before to get a brep that you then mesh - so the vertices coincide then on the edges..

best

I run the 1.0.2 version which I think is the latest one. 

I followed your recomendation and just after I got the edge surface rotated I brep-joined it. Then I meshed it and finally merged the identical vertices from the mesh.

The model looks fine, however since I'm on the trial version I can't assemble the model in karamba due to shell elements restriction -it turned into 156 shells-. Could you please check for me if the definition is now running correctly? Thanks in advance.

good, i can check it tomorrow. the bug with shell view is known i found out today and is fixed in the latest version (which is already or will be uploaded tomorrow)..

cheers

hey robert, I followed a different path this afternoon and the definition seems to work.

First I meshed my three untrimmed surfaces, then transformed the three meshes into one with the MeshJoint component and finally merged the identical vertices.

I assembled the model normally in Karamba, analyzed it but plugged the analyzed model directly into the ShellView box and it displays all the results with colors as I think it should be. However, when I plug the analyzed model into ModelView and then into ShellView nothing happens. 

I'm attaching the current definition and looking forward to downloading karamba's latest version. Thanks!
