[KARMA™]
Documentation

The entire current set of documentation for KARMA Oasys Software (manual and tutorials) is provided with the program when you purchase it. It is also provided here for prospective customers and interested parties who have not yet purchased the software. And as new tutorials are released, registered owners can download them here as well.
KARMA Oasys Help (Manual)

This is a PDF version of the online manual. It is bookmarked according to chapters, but most of the links are not implemented - it is mainly intended for searching and printing. The online version that you open from inside the program has working links and is extensively cross-referenced.
KARMA Oasys Help 2.1
 15-Dec-2007
8 mb
For the initial release on Dec 16, 2007, the Help File/Manual is about 90% complete and up-to-date. Based on a vote by forum members and numerous customer requests, we have decided to release the software now, and release updates to the documentation as it is finalized. Users who have purchased the program will be able to download the latest update to the Help File as soon as it is available.

At the top of chapters that still need revision, you will find a note such as "Requires an Update for KO" or "Requires Updated Pictures Only for KO" - if you do not see such a note at the top of a chapter, then it is finished and up-to-date - most chapters are.
KARMA Oasys Tutorials

These tutorials are included with the application, but new ones will be added here as they become available. They are PDF (acrobat) documents - click to open in your browser if your browser supports it, otherwise, right-click (Windows) or ctrl-click (Mac) to download the file to your computer.
