Scan&Solve service release 1.6

Expression loads in Version 1.6 of Scan&Solve™

This free service release adds a major advanced feature to Scan&Solve for Rhino: an ability to specify functional expressions for spatially distributed pressure loads. Just select the face and type in an expression.

Other significant user-requested enhancements include:

• Auto-width drop-down menu for material
• Retention of legend setting between runs
• Deflected shapes in report
• More legend types

This service release also includes several minor bug fixes in geometric, numerical, and user interface subsystems of the software.  Available for free to all licensed users and as an evaluation for new users.

SnSScript WIP: Scan&Solve™ scripting plugin for Rhino

The Work In Progress (WIP Version 2012.6.8.0) of the Scan&Solve™ Scripting plugin for Rhino is now available to owners of Academic and Commercial licenses of Scan&Solve™. It will operate until July 8, 2012. 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™ plugin is exposed for calls from RhinoScript, including simulation setup, simulation computation, and solution visualization and querying. 

The 32-bit version of the Scan&Solve™ scripting plugin works with Rhino 4 (SR9) and the 32-bit version of Rhino 5. A 64-bit version of the plugin is also available. It works with the 64-bit version of Rhino 5.

Scan&Solve helps solve real world problems

Ian Boyd has a veneer cutting guillotine that is down. Not only are both arms (holding the blade assembly) broken (and ineffectively repaired) but also the joint/coupling that swings the blade. Repeated attempts at welded repairs have failed and the RHS arm is practically crumbling. New ones will have to be fabricated but it would be silly to repeat the same mistakes.

Scan&Solve to the rescue.

Follow Ian's redesign of the broken parts with Scan&Solve for Rhino, and the rebuilding of his guillotine here.

Scan&Solve V1.5 free service release

This free service release  adds hydrostatic pressure—a pressure exerted by fluid due to gravity—to the arsenal of loads in Scan&Solve.   Just specify the loaded faces, fluid surface plane, and fluid density.  Scan&Solve does the rest.  As simple as that.   

                                                     

Other  significant enhancements include:
  

·  Unicode reporting now supports templates in other languages

·  One-click importing of Scan&Solve material files (import button in material editor dialog) 

·  Visualization of out of plane stress components

·  Improved handling of unit changes

This service release also includes several minor bug fixes in numerical, visualization, and user interface subsystems of the software.   

Available to all licensed users and as an evaluation for new users. Download Version 1.5 service release of Scan&Solve™ here.

Scan&Solve webinar, January 18

Join presenter, Michael Freytag as he presents Strength and Deflection Simulation with Scan&Solve™.  The free webinar will be held on Wednesday, January 18th at 11:00 am (PST).  Michael will show the basic steps of using Scan&Solve, explain how to select and apply appropriate restraints and loads, and demonstrate its powerful visualization capabilities.

Simulating structural properties of Rhino solids has never been easier. Scan&Solve eliminates the need for model preprocessing, meshing, or simplifications.  Just select the material, specify restraints, and apply the loads.  The software will tell you if your model is strong enough and how much it will deflect.

Date: Wednesday, January 18
Time: 11 am (PST)

Scan&Solve for Rhino, new structural plugin

Scan&Solve™ for Rhino is a new plugin from Intact Solutions that completely automates basic structural testing of Rhino solids.

Pick the material, choose restraints and specify loads on the faces of the solid model. Select the go button to see the predicted performance (strength, weakness) of your shape. No simplification, healing, translating, or meshing is needed.
