algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Karamba3D is an interactive, parametric finite element program. It lets you analyze the response of 3-dimensional beam and shell structures under arbitrary loads.
Karamba3D is being developed by Clemens Preisinger in cooperation with Bollinger und Grohmann ZTGmbH in Vienna.

Hi everybody,I am trying to model a prestressed ruled surface shell with tendons in karamba, my first approach was defining the tendons as beams, prestressing them with initial strain and then adding…Continue

Hello everyone! I'm working on a tensegrity structure relatively simple, which is composed by compressed beams that never touch eachothers, and tense cables. This case-structure has been built, so it…Continue

it would be better to test full version , thank you for your cooperation , here is my email : blumen.sy@gmail.com
thanks again
Dear Kaz, you can run the examples them with the trial-version by decreasing the number of elements or use the free version when only beams are involved. Alternatively I can send you a one-month trial license for the full version.
Best, Clemens
All examples files are restricted in trial version , how to test it ?
Hi there,
long time no comments!
Dear Clemens,
This is actual proper that karamba have some rules for defining the relations between components, from points to lines, lines to surfaces, surfaces to forms and volumes and so on. except from manual which you've released before, is there any references you know, we could adapt our models to, for writing algorithms more accurate?
Thanks,
Mahdi
"karamba.ini" is located in the folder "Karamba" which can be found in the installation directory of Karamba.
The result of karamba analysis is too big compare with my grasshopper model even after I reduce the radius, can I change the unit of karamba to make it proper? I tried to look for the "karamba.ini" mentioned in the booklet, but didn't find it.
Thanks!
Hi, maybe you find this helpful: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/karamba/forum/topics/masonry-str....

I am trying to analyze the structural behaviors of a brick masonry vault and a masonry shell structure. In karamba there is no material property of brick masonry in the material list. How can I solve this problem?
Now I have rhion 4 and rhino 5 32bit & 64bit both. I installed karamba 1.04 for rhino 64bit free version in my grasshopper for rhino 5 folder, it does show in the grasshopper folder, but when I open rhino and grasshopper, it doesn't show on the tool bar and I didn't find the Draw All Components in Grasshoppers View-menu mentioned in the Karamba installation booklet.
