KarambaIDEA

ADDON. Version 3.0.0.2. Released on 2022-Jun-27. Provides 49 components. Created by Bouwenmet Staal. Features 0 video tutorials.

KarambaIDEA is an open-source Grasshopper plug-in that links Karamba3D with IDEA Statica connection. One of the joints from the modeled steel structure in Karamba3D can be imported into IDEA Statica Connection for further analysis, on a detail level.
