I have created a simple frame in Grasshopper and Karamba 3D. For some reason, I keep getting an error message for the ‘Analysis’ component. To be honest, I have no idea what the error is.
In addition, I have three different joints, namely between K1 and L1, L1 and L2, and L2 and K1. I actually want to enter these as a list, and I have tried to do so, but it doesn’t really work.
The K elements are the columns and the L elements are the beams.
Could someone help me with the above questions?
Kind regards,

how do you wish to release the joints? If you look at your model now, you have released the joints a Tx,Ty, Tz and Ry. And this is no longer stable, and actually kinematic. L1 and L2 can now freely move in the x,y,z space.
I want to set up this portal in a 2D environment, i.e. in the X-Z plane. Later, I want to expand it to a 3D environment.
I want to make the support points hinged and the connections between the steel beams all rigid. However, something is going wrong and I have no idea where.
Could it be because when I fix the joints, the beam in between can still move in the Y direction? Should the columns and beams then be supported along their entire length in the Y direction?
Well, the default joint is rigid, so you do not need to apply a release. You can refer to Simple Frame - Karamba3D for a sample of how a portal frame is created.
