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 Rafael Pastrana on December 14, 2018 at 1:23am: Could it be a render scale / visualization issue? @Arthur

Comment by Marco Pellegrino on December 12, 2018 at 12:47pm: Arthur. It shouldn’t have that big difference. Could you share your file? Have you check the global reaction ? Are they the same?

Comment by X.Arthur.Ma on December 12, 2018 at 10:22am: Hi,

I have a question on the shell analysis.

For shells, is the analysis mesh independent?

Same settings except for the mesh topology, but the result is so different.

Comment by Karamba3D on December 4, 2018 at 11:18pm: Hi Wilinton,

you have to update your Rhino in order to run the latest version of Karamba. Otherwise you can use a previous installation of Karamba.

Hi, Why do I get this error when I open Grasshopper? ... I am new to this and would like you to help me ... Thank you.

Comment by Karamba3D on December 3, 2018 at 1:43pm: Hi,

there is no fixed date yet. Karamba3D basically runs on the Mac, the main issue is the installation procedure.

Comment by Garikundesu on December 2, 2018 at 1:24am: Hi,

On the 30th of August 2018, a member of Karamba (Clemens) replied that there will be a Mac version. Any information on the ongoing development or a release date anytime soon ?

The latest WIP of Rhino 6 Mac are more and more stable as long as the built in grasshopper are throwing less and less exceptions.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Comment by Jakub Czajczynski on November 8, 2018 at 7:25pm: Dear Karamba Team,

I love that you put examples on your website but unfortunately, some of them are not working anymore. For example:

- Large Deformation of a Shell

- Large Deformation of a Triangular Grid

I'm using the student version of Karamba 1.3.1. Please let me know what can cause the problem.

Comment by Karamba3D on September 18, 2018 at 2:09am: We will be hosting a Karamba3d workshop in Vienna from November 28-30. Its a great way to start to develop more advanced skills in optimization processes, programming and structural analysis.
