Quick question on Buckling Load

[michela_m (mick05)]

If I multiply the first output of the buckling mode factor by the applied load, should I get the actual buckling load of the structure?

Thank you for your time

Finding the exact buckling load - New Karamba User

Hi guys, This might be a very easy question but I am new to karamba so I don’t really know. I have found the buckled shape of a shell structure using second order deformations. However, I now need the exact load (in kN) under which it buckles to produce the first buckling mode. I am sure there is an easy solution to this but I cannot seem to find it. Can someone please help Thank you, Michela

Hello, the answer is yes.
