Input Surfaces and Analyze as a Shell
The team at the University of Virginia has created a series of Karamba3D examples to guide users through several workflow processes.
Each example is thoroughly explained and the geometry is internalized to run without supporting Rhino files. Input new rhino geometry into the Grasshopper definitions to see how the geometry performs.
Difficulty: Simple
This example introduces Karamba3D input and analysis. while demonstrating automatic assigning of supports and force flow in a shell.

- Change the slider that controls the mesh density
- Change the support positions and notice the behavior of the principle stress lines
- Change the load directions
Get the Grasshopper definition here: 01_InputSurfacesAsShell.gh
Get the Rhino file here: 01_InputSurfacesAsShell.3dm
This example uses Karamba3D 1.3.2.
