<p>Hello All,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have just downloaded and installed SnSpro for Rhino 7 and have been getting some very mixed results so far.</p>

<p>This plugin seems absolutely perfect for what I am trying to do but I am struggling with crashes and stalls every time I change the resolution above lowest.</p>

<p>It sometimes eventually gets there but it takes a very very long time and seems to not use many system resources, is there some way of using more processing power? My machine is lightning fast and it doesn't seem to use any of the available power.. </p>

<p>Hello there</p>
<p>I have a project that I think is perfectly suited for SnS, and am considering purchasing a license, but am a little concerned that the software may not run on Rhino7, and has not been updated in a while. I really don't want to have to install Rhino6 on my machine... Please advise! Thanks</p>

<p>Tom</p> How much SnS uses PC resurces?tag:www.scan-and-solve.com,2020-10-04:6083097:Topic:1940332020-10-04T14:16:41.352ZAndrew carlsonhttp://www.scan-and-solve.com/profile/Andrewcarlson
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I was looking at the task manager how much SnS uses resurces of the computer. The prosessor only uses about 9%, memory under 30 %. The simulation takes more than an hour. Is there some setting in SnS to increase the performance and use of these resurces?</p>
<p>Sorry about the Finnish version of win10. Suoritin = Processor, Muisti = Memory. </p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I live in SI-world (Europe). We have to use SI-systems in our calculations. When I choose loads in meter, second and kilogram, I also expect to have my results in SI-units. But the report use quite weird units like Mg which is megagram in SI-system, but the huge number tells it to be more likely milligram. So you mix M (mega) and m (milli) in prefixes. Please, use only kg (kilogram) as a unit for mass in mechanics. Always.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

Please, use only kg (kilogram) as a unit for mass in mechanics. Always.</p>
<p>The other weird unit is in density, Mg/mm3. In SI-world this is megagram/cubic millimeter. Quite a big unit. If here M is milli (which again is an error), so mg/mm3 could technically be a correct density unit, but no-one uses it or could understand it straight ahead. You use the correct density unit, kg/m3, in material list. Please, use that in the report also.</p>
<p>MPa and mm are correct and used units. </p>
<p>This can sound like nick-picking. But, the problem of these kind of report is, that weird units destroy the credibility of the calculation immediately, when you start looking it. This report cannot be shown to a colleague, except maybe for a laugh. Not to mention the customer.</p>
<p>Hope you correct your report generator as soon as possible.</p>

<p>I saw a previous discussion on this subject where somebody was asking to reduce the size of the icons of the forces, restraints, etc.</p>
<p>A solution was given modifying the Rhino Dimension scale.</p>
<p>Unfortunately this solution seems not working in my case.</p>
<p>I followed the suggestion about saving and restart Rhinoceros and SnS Pro but without results.</p>
<p>I also tried to reduce the size of the annotation dots (from the standard 14 to 5) but again without results.</p>

<p>Do you have another suggestion for that...the size of the arrows and restraints are often embarrassing...</p>

<p>Greetings,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Firstly many thanks for letting us trial your software, it looks very promising.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Regarding the results, please check the attached .png image.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If we consider the total length of the object being tested (785mm) and the maximum displacement of said object (1.3mm) we can say that the displacement overall falls within the linear space for the steel being used.</p>
<p>Would you agree with this statement?</p>
<p>However what raises a question…</p>

<p>Would you agree with this statement?</p>
<p>However what raises a question for me, because the object is composed of parts - to really be sure should we look at the displacement of every part in the assembly and conclude that some of them fall out of linear space and that this has an impact on the validity of the whole calculation. </p>
<p>(for example the mounting laser cut piece next to the number 1 on the image that has 1.2mm of displacement)</p>
<p></p>
<p>All parts are in bonded contact and were tested together in a single scenario.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Many thanks.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>for our FEAs, we are working with 3D meshes of anatomical structures obtained through reconstructions based on µCT data. To define the restrains and loading faces in SnS, we are experiencing quite some problems with selecting the wanted faces. When using both the box and lasso select option, both the visible and backfaces are being selected. Most of the times unwanted backfaces can be deselected by rotating the object, but with some irregular surfaces, that is not always…</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>for our FEAs, we are working with 3D meshes of anatomical structures obtained through reconstructions based on µCT data.

When using both the box and lasso select option, both the visible and backfaces are being selected. Most of the times unwanted backfaces can be deselected by rotating the object, but with some irregular surfaces, that is not always present.<br/> Ideally, would like to use a brush selection tool, where by painting on the visible side of a mesh, only the visible faces would be selected. Has anyone found a workaround for that?</p>

<p>Just wondering if there are any improvements, stabilization, or features to look forward to. I see hints of topographical optimization on the Intact Solutions web page. Is that still in the works?Is that a screen shot of Scan-and-Solve?</p>
<p>I'm not really interested in Cloud based solutions as I paid good money to have a solution working directly within Rhino.</p>
<p>Thanks and happy 2020.</p>

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I am using scan n solve for calculating load on linear system in rhino.</p>
<p>The moment I increase my node number it stops responding and rhino crashes.</p>
<p>Is there any way I can stop frm that to happen.</p>
