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 simulation.
Afterwards, you can refine the parameters, save your results, or integrate the geometry directly into your Rhino model (with automatic layer separation).
In this first release you can create:
-
FunicularStructures → for compressive shells and arches.
-
TensileStructures → for prestressed membranes and cable nets.
-
PneumaticStructures → for air-supported membranes.
It’s also possible to save and reload your structures with all physical parameters preserved, so you can continue the form-finding process right where you left off.
I’d love to hear your feedback!
