Hi,I haven't found it, but maybe it's there: is there a possibility to consider non-linear material behaviour, e.g. plasticity?Best regards, StefanContinue

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,

Clemens
