RhinoCFD v3 brings professional-grade Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) directly into the Rhino 8 environment. This latest release officially establishes compatibility with Rhino 8, allowing users to leverage the platform's updated interface and improved performance while performing complex fluid and thermal simulations entirely within their CAD workspace.
Powered by the brand-new PHOENICS 2025 v1.0 engine, the update introduces a decoupled Monitor Plot Window. This feature allows designers to track convergence, residuals, and spot values in real-time without impacting the responsiveness of the Rhino interface. Simulation setup is now more intuitive than ever; the computational grid reacts instantaneously to geometry changes—such as moving, adding, or copying objects—making the design-to-analysis loop faster and less error-prone.
Beyond performance, the update expands physical modelling capabilities with the addition of the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model for aerospace/external flows and advanced VOF boiling and condensation mechanisms. Post-processing is similarly enhanced, enabling users to apply custom mathematical expressions to results and automatically visualize critical data points with new minimum/maximum markers.
By maintaining the entire simulation workflow within Rhino, RhinoCFD v3 eliminates the need for cumbersome geometry exports, making high-fidelity engineering analysis a seamless part of the modern design process.
