an application of spaceclaim + rhino + ss

[Matteo]

preliminary design with spaceclaim, rhino (in the example you see only complete integration with sc: I did not dare to model anything simply because I can not use rhino :redface and scan&solve (interesting software for structural analysis without mesh).

very interesting. I didn't know that rhino had a plugin to do fem analysis. but how exactly does this scan and solve work? What does that mean without mesh? can treat even non-linearity?

hi, s&s works "discretizzando" the volume with an algorithm like "grille 3d". the novelty lies in this procedure (usually the meshatura starts from the indexing of the surfaces and propagates within the solids). the solutor at the moment is only linear, the non-linearity will be implemented during 2011.

Forgive me but I just couldn't grasp this concept. do you mean that he uses a structured hexa grid in the volume and tackles the discontinuities of surface with polynomials of greater order?

or am I totally out of the way?

Do you have any links, documents or at least an image of mesh to pass me to understand?

Thank you.

I gave him a quick read, now it's clearer.

I still have to study it well and read out books to understand the actual validity of the method, but it is still interesting.

Interesting!
I need to know more about fem analysis to appreciate. . .
the thing I don't understand by watching these videos is:
where do I place the forces that come into play?
colors seem quite explanatory, but is it really so, i.e. warm colors tension, cold compression?

The only experience I have is with pontifex... A great game!

I have been beta tester so I can tell you that post processing (application of loads/wins) is similar to that of any other fem software. missing (obviously) the part of "simplification" of geometry (not necessary).

the solutor is a classic fem solutor "small strain", the novelty is in the construction of mesh no longer based on the mapping of the surfaces (synthesis: it is not a "boundary elements").
