Karamba3D is embedded in the parametric environment of Grasshopper in the 3d modelling program Rhino3D. This makes it easy to combine parameterized geometric models, Finite Element calculations and optimization algorithms like Galapagos, Octopus, Wallacei and many more.
Karamba3D can also be used as a standalone .NET library for integrating Finite Element functionality into your scripts.
Interactive
Get immediate feedback with animated results of the structural performance
Parametric
Flexibly react to design changes and investigate more options in a shorter time
Optimization
Reduce costs and material consumption to minimize environmental impact
