Karamba3D Overview
Karamba3D is a parametric structural engineering tool which provides accurate analysis of spatial trusses, frames and shells.
Karamba3D is fully embedded in the parametric environment of Grasshopper which is a plug-in for the 3d modelling tool Rhinoceros (Rhino3d). This makes it easy to combine parameterized geometric models, finite element calculations and optimization algorithms like Octopus or Galapagos.
Karamba3D is a Finite Element program like many others. However it has advantages over these in several important respects: It is easy to use for non-experts, has been tailored to the needs of architects and engineers in the early design phase, works interactively and costs slightly less than the rest.
