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 Najna Sorin on September 8, 2011 at 10:24am: I was wondering if Karamba can identify a compression members in a truss/space frame?
Is there a Karamba definition that will allow me to identify the compression members for any kind of truss or space frame?

For example, I want to select my truss/space frame from Rhino, then define the supports, nodal forces and some other parameters too, and then Karamba definition will allow me to get all members under the compression to be selected.

Can this be done in Karamba?

If it can, can anybody help me with it please?

Thank you.

Comment by David Shook on September 3, 2011 at 2:34pm: Karamba hasn't updated to the most recent GH build. Use build GH 0.8.0013. I would post it here, but there if a 5mg limit. If you have an FTP or something I can post it there. If you use GH frequently its good to keep a copy of all previous versions. These things are common.

Comment by Karamba3D on August 1, 2011 at 1:23am: Hello David, we will update Karamba as soon as possible.

Comment by David Shook on July 31, 2011 at 1:25pm: Karamba does not appear to be working in the latest build of Grasshopper. Are there plans to update Karamba for future use? I have been using it quite a bit and would greatly appreciate any help that Karamba can give. Thanks!

Comment by Karamba3D on July 10, 2011 at 4:33am: Try to select 'Show All Components' in Grasshopper menu 'View'. Does that help?

Comment by Guido Maciocci on July 8, 2011 at 12:05pm: hello... just installed the latest build but the icons on my GH shelf are not showing up, only in the drop down lists. normal?

Comment by stjackin on July 8, 2011 at 2:58am: thanks for your reply.hope it will be as powerful as the general fea software, such as sap& midas. good job. i am learning it now.

Comment by Karamba3D on July 7, 2011 at 12:55am: Karamba is an interactive finite element program for frames and trusses.

Comment by stjackin on July 6, 2011 at 11:24pm: is this addon something like sap2000 component? for frame structure ?

Comment by Robert Vier on June 9, 2011 at 4:22pm: A simple definition using the 'BESO' and 'resulting element forces' - components of the latest release to evolve a topology and get evenly distributed axial stress.
