This component takes a list of Grasshopper points and converts them to fixed points in the model. This can be done using the Support component. To do so, Assemble component gathers all of the relevant information about a structural analysis issue and generates a ready-to-analyze model.ģ– To create inputs of the Assemble node, the LineToBeam component can convert line segments of a structural element (like a truss or a beam) to Karamba beam elements.Ĥ– After developing the elements of the analysis model, supports of the model must be defined. Therefore, make sure to convert your units before working with Karamba3D.Ģ– Then, the initial geometry must be converted to a simulation model. This will cause problems if your Rhino geometry uses different base units than the selected one.
Also choosing imperial is considered as feet. Karamba3D will always presume the model in meters when selecting SI. Below is the simplified workflow of a basic truss model structural analysis.ġ– In the first place, you need to define the unit you want to work with. When creating an analysis model in Karamba3D, several steps are to follow.
