FEA - Affordable Finite Element Analysis for Rhino

Well, the nuclear industry in France uses Salome/Code_Aster which is for free. It’s not like its not capable, but open source software is not always very easy to set up, not always the most friendly UI either, and it’s not integrated with the CAD tools you’d like to use. And one would have to import the CAD files and redo the pre-processing after every change. Also, any FEA analysis needs pre-processing of the models as to simplify and/or cleanup detailed features like holes, fillets etc. Some…

Concha - Shell Analysis with Rhino3d

TAILSIT would like to announce the initial release of Concha, a Rhino3D plug-in for the numerical analysis of shell structures. Based on the Finite Element Method, Concha lets you analyse the mechanical behaviour of complex geometries subject to arbitrary loads without leaving the design environment of Rhino3D. Features The key features of Concha are Import of any surface-based geometry objects from within Rhino3D Specification of supports at vertices, edges or surfaces Connection of vertic…
