[Help needed] Modify directly the stiffness of element

Grasshopper Karamba3D

Hi,

If I want to model a spring with translational and rotational stiffnesses in all 6-DOF, is there anyway for me to modify the stiffness of element directly in C#?
From Karamba3d API I can only find methods to construct a beam with crosec and material.

Thanks in advance,
Tommy

Hi @Tommy_Feng,
you could create a beam with a spring cross section. See here and here for details. However this spring definition does not contain kinematic relations but only links the DOFs of two nodes together using the given stiffness relations. I added a corresponding feature request here.
