Truss hinges

Grasshopper Karamba3D
1

Hi!

I’m trying to create a truss with Karamba3d. I can get it working when the upper chord consists of 8 different beams and lower chord consists of 7 different beams. The problem is, I would like to create the model using only two beams as top chords and two as lower chords. With model like this, the joints at the braces don’t connect to the chords.
Thanks!

Hi, you need to split the upper and lower chord at their intersections with the diagonals in order to analyse them in Karamba.

Have you seen this example: Parametric Truss - Karamba3D
