Hello everyone,
I am starting to learn Karamba and made a simple 1 m long cantilevered beam, with a concentrated load of 5kN at the end of the beam. However, when looking at the shear forces, it seems to be incorrect?
Moving the load to t = 0.999 gives the correct diagram. Is it because 0 < t < 1?
Enclosed are the files I have used. Thank you!

I think you are correct about the 0<t<1 condition, but I am not sure. I leave it to the Karamba team to delve into the technical detail of the beam load component.
In any case, you can use a Load component as opposed to Beam Load and apply a point load at the end point of the beam directly.
Hi @Wilson_Tarb,
thanks for the bug report!
It is a problem with tolerances that needs to be solved on our side.
A workaround would be to set “t” to slightly less than 1 or increase the number of segments along the beam axis: Cantilevered beam_cp.gh (32.9 KB)

Thank you!
Thanks for your assistance!
