STEM Schools and RhinoFabLab

Ms. Swanson’s 8th Grade Engineering Class from Gulfstream Middle School recently visited McNeel Miami. See the video here.
 

Gulfstream Middle School is a Certified RhinoFabLab, and according to Ms. Swanson, they are constantly looking for ways to blend math into technology and engineering. The Middle School is learning Rhino and Grasshopper to create projects that will help them achieve that goal.

Are you sure? Have you checked?

Are you checking your designs early and often?

There is no reason not to. The simulation and analysis tools for Rhino 5 keep getting better.

Scan&Solve™ has always provided finite elements in Rhino without meshing. Now they are offering two additional extensions to their tools.

First is SnSMesh. This version of Scan&Solve™ allows users to perform stress simulation on mesh geometry within Rhino. This version has the same functionality as the latest edition of Scan&Solve™ but works directly on closed meshes created in Rhino or imported from other applications that can export .stl, .wrl, .ply, and other mesh formats recognized by Rhino. That means you can directly analyze any part that you can 3D scan. No need to first reverse engineer.

Second is SnSScript. This scriptable version of Scan&Solve™ allows users to automate simulation processes that otherwise require user interaction. In the scriptable version, most of the functionality of the original Scan&Solve™ plug-in is exposed for calls from RhinoScript, including simulation setup, simulation computation, and solution visualization and querying.

Godzilla: Robots with Rhino and Grasshopper

As many of you know Rhino has played nice with robots for many years. And things just keep getting better.

The latest is Godzilla, a new free Grasshopper plugin from Gregory Epps of RoboFold for programming and simulating robots in Rhino with Grasshopper.

Also, there is an optional small device to generate the actual control code.

If you would like to play with a robot in the comfort of your own home, give Godzilla a try.
