The latest beta version of Scan&Solve™ for Rhino is available at www.scanandsolve.com.
This version adds a significant new feature- GRAVITY. Simply choose the material for your shape, select restraints, and check the Gravity checkbox. Click the [Go] button to see the performance of your shape under it's own weight:
(click for larger versions)
This version also incorporates several improvements in reliability and user interaction. Localization issues are now handled better without warnings about missing dlls. The user interface has been updated to allow user input only when Scan&Solve is capable of responding. The documentation is now easier to find through a shortcut in Windows' Start Menu. We've also added documentation on manually modifying the material database.
For more information or to participate in the free beta-testing of this plugin, please join the Scan-and-Solve for Rhino network at www.scanandsolve.com.
hi to all.I'm an architectveryinterested in the useofFEM software(althoughI'm no expert)anduse rhino and grasshopper,so for me itwould be perfectscan e solve .Iwas wonderingif it ispossible to carry outstressanalysis oforganic forms in reinforcedconcrete.ifthis is possible ,how can i do that and thereare some examplesor documentationaboutscan andsolve for thiscase? thanks
I know that this is an old post, but I'll give it a go :).
I have been using/trying out your software a couple of times and I have to admit that it has real great potential in engineering. I just think it is such a shame that it is not actually developed for Grasshopper as well.
That would make it extra strong and surely I would recommed my company to try and invest in this.
I hope that you will have a think about this. Maybe there could be some collaboration between yourself and some of the very skilled Grasshopper developers.
Hi Rasmus. Support Grasshopper is on our "to do" list, but it is simply a matter of allocating resources. We are stretched, working hard to extend Scan&Solve's capabilities, e.g. next release will handle composite structures made from different materials. If you know of somebody who is interested enough to see Scan&Solve in Grasshopper to help, please let us know. Best,
