Join us for the next Special Training Session at our European office in Barcelona. Clemens Preisinger, structural engineer at Bollinger Grohmann and plugin developer, will lead a three-day Karamba3D Workshop February 7-9, 2018.
Clemens will introduce Karamba, a parametric structural engineering tool which provides an accurate analysis of spatial trusses, frames, and shells. Karamba is fully embedded in the parametric design environment of Grasshopper, a plugin for the 3D modeling tool Rhinoceros. This makes it easy to combine parameterized geometric models, finite element calculations, and optimization algorithms like Galapagos.

- Introduction
- Presentation of recent building projects
- Setup of a simple structural system
- Results retrieval and display
- Optimization of beam and truss cross sections

Day 3
- Gridshells
- Eigenforms and natural vibrations
- Global buckling analysis
- The Karamba Utilities
- Using Karamba in C# scripts
- Individual project development
