It now comes with its own geometry classes. * A project for running automatic Karamba3D tests under NUnit has been published. See [https://github.com/karamba3d/K3D\_tests.](https://github.com/karamba3d/K3D_tests.•) * The cross section library has been extended considerably and comprises standard steel sections from the EU, UK, US, Russia, Japan, India, Canada, Germany, Australia, China, South Africa, Brazil and Korea. * It is possible to define initial-curvature and non-uniform temperature loads on beams and shells. * There is a Karamba3D version for Rhino7. * A model’s nodal positions can be changed via the **“ModifyModel”**-component. This is necessary since the **“DisassembleModel”**-component outputs elements with nodal coordinates attached. * **“Joints”** have now their own class and container. * All known bugs of Karamba3D 1.3.1. were fixed. For the list of changes of all versions of Karamba3D see . ## Known limitations * The contribution of locally defined loads to the system stiffness is not considered in second order analysis or the calculation of buckling load factors. ## Third party products Jon Mirtschin implemented an exporter from Karamba3D to IFC. This tool is part of his “[Geometry- Gym](https://geometrygym.wordpress.com/)” suit of Grasshopper plug-ins. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
