Karamba3D is a Grasshopper embedded tool that provides structural analysis using the Finite Element Method Analysis (FEA). FEA is widely used in engineering to solve problems by dividing a large system to smaller parts, called finite elements.

Karamba3D, along with a set of grasshopper’s parametric tools, can be easily used by both engineers and designers for fast and easy structural optimization.

Installation

Karamba3D requires a license to use. You can find more information on the Karamba3D website (https://karamba3d.com/)

If you are a TU Delft Student, you have access to a Karamba3D license through Brightspace under Software Downloads > Rhinoceros Plug-Ins 7. Follow the installation manual under the Downloads tab.

Units

Karamba3D runs with both SI and Imperial Units. For the SI units the tested geometry has to be in meters.
