<p>Sorry about that. Somehow the original images got corrupted. I've since updated them so they reflect the original intent.</p>
<p>Let us know if we can be of further assistance.</p>

<p>I quite like this solution, and am trying to implement it in a different case. I can't view the images however, for some reason only the top loads and rest loads black. Any other way I would be able to view them?</p>
<p>I would be interested to see where the small square hole is implemented exactly, since I am having trouble doing it in such a way that it is effectively ignored by SNS.</p>

<p>Rick,</p>
<p>In Version 1.4, we've added the ability to restrain straight edges. This should allow you to simulate pin joints after a few minor additions to your geometry:</p>

<p>In this case, I've added small square holes through the object. One corner of this square is aligned with the axis of the cylinder and allows me to apply a restraint on this axis. The holes are small enough that they are effectively ignored by Scan&Solve. The results look like this:</p>

<p>Yes, fair prices for the Grail, I did not notice you had gone that far already, but I was hoping it would be around that level! I am looking at models I might upload, most are 'proprietary' unfortunately but I have run some special cases. </p>

<p>Rick, the prices for the initial version of Scan&Solve have already been announced. Look under the "Purchase" tab. Where else can you get the `Holy Grail' at that price? :-) As you noted, we can already handle problems that cannot be touched by many mesh-based systems. But it will be a few years before we can compete on features. Perhaps more importantly, it is not our main goal because we can do so many things others may not be able to do at all -- from shape…</p>
<p>Rick, the prices for the initial version of Scan&Solve have already been announced. Look under the "Purchase" tab. Where else can you get the `Holy Grail' at that price? :-) As you noted, we can already handle problems that cannot be touched by many mesh-based systems. But it will be a few years before we can compete on features. Perhaps more importantly, it is not our main goal because we can do so many things others may not be able to do at all -- from shape optimization to built-in-physics to interactive analysis, etc. -- all with a simple and intuitive user interface. So do not think how Scan&Solve will eliminate full-fledged mesh-based FEA solutions; it may not happen for a while. But do think how much more value you are getting from having this technology available to the user -- any time and at a push of a button.</p>
<p>But we do appreciate your comments and suggestions. We take them very seriously. </p>
