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.
