Hi everyone,

I’ve recently launched a Rhino plugin called StructuralDesigner3D. Like Kangaroo, it allows the creation of funicular, tensile, and pneumatic structures. However, this plugin works entirely inside Rhino (without Grasshopper).

It could be a useful tool to create tensile structures such as the one at the Centre Pompidou Metz. You just need to define the topology, anchor the boundaries in the right position, choose the rest length factor, and run the simulation – it’s very straightforward.

If you’re interested, you can find more information here: www.structuraldesigner3d.com

Here’s a short video showing the form-finding process of the TensileStructure command:

StructuralDesigner3D - New Rhino Plugin

Good morning everyone! I’m excited to share that I’ve recently launched a new plugin for Rhino called StructuralDesigner3D. StructuralDesigner3D enables you to create funicular, tensile, and pneumatic structures using Dynamic Relaxation — all directly inside Rhino (no need for Grasshopper). The plugin is designed with a clean and intuitive interface: Simply select your input geometry (meshes or lines), Define the physical parameters (masses, stiffness, pressure, etc.), And run the si…
