I am currently developing a parametric design/modeling workflow for a timber-concrete composite structure with notched connections as part of my master’s thesis.
At the moment I am trying to calculate the structural system in Grasshopper using Karamba. The idea is to implement a model approach similar to the method proposed by Rautenstrauch for discontinuously connected timber-concrete composite structures.
However, I currently cannot get the model to actually calculate.
What happens:
Loads are applied
No error message is shown
But there is no visible deformation
No internal forces are returned
The model seems to remain “inactive” although the calculation component runs
Since I have been debugging this for quite some time already, I would really appreciate if someone could take a quick look at the Grasshopper file and maybe point me in the right direction.
Hi,
Not at laptop right now. By looking at the dotted wire, it seems, that you have multiple models. I guess you have to take care of your datastream, when generating it. Sometimes it’s just flatten the inputs.
Itay have another reason, just guessing.
Thanks for your help! I have been able to fix the problem, it was about a wrong connection between the analyze model and the beam view components so quite easy and actually just dump i didnt see it myself… However i am struggeling with something new no. I want to place a joint between the lower and the upper vertical trusses. I dont know if i dont get how the beam joints compinent works but for some reason the joints wont appear in my model. Can someone help me with that? I already tried to look at the example files on the karamba website but i cant see the components that were used because i have an older karamba version (v 2.2.0.180)
