Simulate Early, Simulate Often... In Rhino
G'day,
I have a file that keeps crashing. It has a number of closed polysurfaces in it but I have analysed only two with SnS. It crashes after pressing the Done button on the second analysis.
Is SnS capable of analysing more than one polysurface?
regards,
Nick.

Yes, you can analyze more than one polysurface in a single Rhino document, with one caveat: Do not attempt to have more than one session of SnS open at a time. Scan&Solve won't currently prevent you doing this, but the resultant crashes probably will... :-(
If you are experiencing repeatable crashes with single execution of SnS, please send your file to support@intact-solutions.com with instructions for repeating the crash. It would be a tremendous help in debugging.
Thanks,
Michael
I'm seeing the same thing as Nick.
Multiple solids, analysed one at a time, but frequent crashing.
I crash either after exiting the SNS box and saving the analysis data, or saving the Rhino file.
I also notice some mix-up with my torque axii : when moving from a solid to another, my axii get changed.
Cheers,

One thing to check regarding the crashes is to be sure the models you are analyzing are reported as:
For some reason, Rhino is unable to correctly compute volume and surface area of certain closed solid polysurfaces - which can cause Scan&Solve to have problems internally. I've recently seen this occur with models reported as Invalid polysurface, despite being closed solid polysurfaces. You'll have to check with a Rhino expert how such model geometry can be fixed.
In the next software update we'll add a check for validity of the polysurfaces before proceeding to operate on them.
