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 3-day Karamba3D Workshop February 27–March 1, 2019. 

Clemens will introduce Karamba3D, a parametric structural engineering tool that provides accurate analysis of spatial trusses, frames, and shells. Karamba3D 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.

Day 1

• Introduction
• Presentation of recent building projects
• Setup of a simple structural system
• Results retrieval and display 
• Optimization of beam and truss cross sections
• Geometry optimization based on Karamba results

Day 2

• Structural basics
• How to debug a structural model
• Analysis of shells and plates
• Results retrieval and display
• Creating shell-meshes and loads
• Optimization of shell cross sections
• Form finding

Day 3

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

Karamba3D 1-year licenses for noncommercial use will be provided to the participants for free.
