This is the first video in the Karamba3D series. It stays intentionally simple: a single beam, fixed at both ends, loaded at two interior points. The goal is to walk through the full workflow once (geometry, beam creation, supports, loads, analysis, and results) so every later video builds on this foundation.
This video talks about a familiar beam type, and expands into three different load types. We also cover how to start analyzing statistics behind these beam components.
From Raw Numbers to a Design Decision
This guide demonstrates how material selection directly influences structural performance and utilization in Karamba3D by testing timber, steel, and concrete under identical load conditions, followed by automated cross-section optimization.
This guide covers the transition from single-beam analysis to a full structural frame system using connected members. By tracing load paths before solving, we evaluate how gravity and lateral wind loads travel through a portal frame to fully fixed ground supports.
