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 Karamba3D on February 3, 2013 at 5:03am: You you need to add a reference to karamba.gha.

Best,

Clemens

Comment by Guillaume Niel on February 2, 2013 at 2:48pm: Hi,

I am working on a customised component with Visual Studio (vb.net).I would like to add radio buttons on the component, like on your Karamba Support Component. Could you explain how to do that ? I saw you were using MenuRadioButtonGroup, but this type is not recognized. Which extra reference do I have to import to have access to this ?

Comment by Rasmus Holst on January 29, 2013 at 7:17am: Simpsons: AY Karamba... Not sure how I will explain that to my supervisor... haha. Nice.

Comment by Michel Cassagnes on January 26, 2013 at 10:50am: Hi Mahdi,

missing :

-cross section

-material

-identifiers

-bad mesh (mesh with Mesh/Utils/Mesh Brep)

-points

find the modified file :

Domegh%281%29.gh

Best regards,

Michel

Comment by Mahdi Soheyli Fard on January 24, 2013 at 2:50pm: Hey all,
i wana simulate the Dome reactions to the pressure included form -Z pressure, what is your best solution for defining the set of point for support and how can i find the way out of run time errors when i want to analyze this model?
would you mind trying it on this definition and send me back?
my pleasure,

Dome%20gh.gh
Dome.3dm

Comment by Karamba3D on January 21, 2013 at 8:13am: Hi,

it comes from the Spanish word caramba; the main source of inspiration was Bart Simpson.

Best,

Clemens

Comment by Rasmus Holst on January 21, 2013 at 6:27am: Hi.

After using Karamba3d for a while, I came to think:

What does Karamba stand for? Any idea behind the name?

Comment by Karamba3D on January 5, 2013 at 9:30am: Hi Kane, it is currently not possible to use [-cross sections with Karamba.

In such cross sections the center of gravity and the center of shear do not coincide. The necessary algorithms to take that into account haven't been implemented yet in Karamba.

Best, Clemens

Comment by Kane Borg on January 5, 2013 at 4:29am: Is it possible to create UPE cross sections [ - to be used in karamba? if so can I edit the csv file for cross sections to create my own table, for custom sections?

Comment by Nicolas on October 17, 2012 at 7:48am: Just asked a stupid question, hadnt realized that rhino 4 was 32 bits and was trying to use Karamba 64.
