Hi Karamba-Team,

I have a question aboout my project and hope you can help me.
I want to calculate a reciprocal frame structure statically. I am trying to get in to Karamba3D as I have an educational licence.
I have now roughly understood how the programm works and can build very simple structures.
However, I dont know how to continue with the reciprocal Structure.

I assembled the beam on the line and worked with the eccentricity. I only worked with the lines for the beams. I dont know how to implement the other in to the Nodes that I can analyze the Model. Like this I am getting the error:

What does Eigen Modes mean?

In the future i want to work with the NGON-Plugin, which mean i´ll have no overlapping lines.

I attached the gh-Script

Could you tell me how to proceed with this?

Thank you for your answer

Hello @Jonathan_Haber,
you forgot to activate supports. For connecting the elements the “Felting”-component could be helpful. I attach here the updated script, it was saved in K3D version 3.1.40223-WIP (see YAK or Releases · karamba3d/K3D_NightlyBuilds · GitHub):
