Simulating pneumatic structure

Grasshopper Karamba3D

Hi! Does the “local to mesh” option in the Load component tracks the mesh normal and updates the load in nonlinear analysis? Is this the right way to simulate a pneumatic structure?

Thank you.

Hello @mikity_kogekoge,
yes, the ‘local to mesh’ option lets the loads rotate with the structure.

Please be aware, that the geometric non-linear analysis in Karamba3D is still work in progress and the analysis procedure sometimes does not converge.
