Karamba3D structural analysis of mechanical materials

Can Karamba3D perform proper structural analysis of mechanical materials? If yes, is there relevant limitations?

Note that, I’m referring to linear mechanics but also non-linear mechanics and snap-through instabilities. Important dynamic responses include shock absorption, soliton propagation and transition waves.

I appreciate your support and cooperation.

Hello @edmaralino,
Karamba3D can do static, linear analysis according to Th.I and Th.II (for large in-plane forces) under the assumption of small displacements. Further analysis options are linear buckling, eigenvalue and natural vibrations analysis with and without Th.II.
Geometric non-linear analysis (e.g. for snap-through) is still work in progress.
Dynamic analysis with time integration, shock absorption, transition waves are not yet included.
