Input curves and Analyze as a Truss
This example introduces Karamba3D input and analysis. while demonstrating support types and axial restriction on beams.
- Change slider that controls loads and notice the behavior of the hinge and roller supports as truss deflects.
- Toggle the “modify element” component to change beams to axial-only loads; hinged joints
- Turn control points on in rhino to adjust the geometry of the truss
