Hello,

I am a beginner grasshopper/karamba user and I would to simulate piles (elastic stiffness along pile according to ground).
I tested the component “Cross section - spring” but it seems to be the wrong way.

Do you have any ideas about it ?

Thank you for your answers,
Regards

I already tried to :

  • do same think like previsous example but results forces along piles are not realistic
  • add “cross section-spring” combined to [0-section + concrete material] but no results

Do you have any ideas to add stiffness along piles properly ?

Thank you for your help !
