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.

Comment by Guillaume Niel on February 4, 2013 at 1:45pm: Well,

Thanks a lot Christoph, alias "the genius behind the customized user-interface elements". But you don't mind if we use your classes to improve our customised components (which are not to be sold of course) ?

As Karamba is not free, although Grasshopper is, it is not clear...

Comment by Karamba3D on February 4, 2013 at 1:20pm: It is part of the trial and pro-versions of Karamba.

Comment by Mahdi Soheyli Fard on February 4, 2013 at 12:24pm: does "beam-jonits"- component have another name! :)

i cana find it by the way!

Comment by Karamba3D on February 4, 2013 at 12:02pm: Use the 'Beam-Joints'-component.

Best,

Clemens

Comment by Mahdi Soheyli Fard on February 4, 2013 at 11:57am: How can i define joints in my models?

regards

Comment by Karamba3D on February 4, 2013 at 4:09am: The classes were developed by Christoph Zimmel.

Best,

Clemens

Comment by Guillaume Niel on February 3, 2013 at 9:50am: OK, I renamed .gha to .dll and it worked. Thanks a lot !

Last question : did you developped yourself all the classes needed to add radio buttons or, was it already available ?

Comment by Karamba3D on February 3, 2013 at 9:47am: Add karamba.dll (which is the wrong file) first. Then use a text editor on the MSVC .sln-file and change karamba.dll to karamba.gha.

Best,

Clemens

Comment by Guillaume Niel on February 3, 2013 at 9:29am: How can I add a .gha reference with Visual Studio ? I can just import .dll, .tlb, .olb, .ocx, .exe and .manifest

Comment by Karamba3D on February 3, 2013 at 8:56am: The user-interface widgets are part of Karamba and not yet available separately.

Best,
