Beam joint agent question K3d

Hi Karamba3d team,

I just have one question if this is the right way to do this. I need to define hinged connection on both sides of the profile to take into account. I defined 6 different direction vectors with values for translational and rotational stiffnes. Is this the right way to do this? My system buckles in 179 modes. Could it be that I just am not doing this right cause I have instability with the wrong assignments of the joints to the nodes close to the support or something else? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

hi, you can put it into one single vector, and not break it up into 3 components
did you see 3.4.1: Beam-Joints :large_blue_diamond: | Karamba3D 2.2.0

Buckling is a different issue, your cross sections might be too small for the forces in the beams.
