Hello 
I am trying to find the buckling load which causes failure for this grid shell (file attached below). This is my first time finding the buckling load of the structure so I do not know how to go about it.
Can someone please help?
Thank you!

Hi @michela_m,
you can refer to the example on https://www.karamba3d.com/examples/moderate/buckling-bridge/ on how to perform a buckling analysis. However you need to ensure that you have axial normal forces in your elements to be able to perform such a buckling analysis.
Additional information can be found in the Manual
Thank you for your help!
