FEA Results Domain

Hello all,

I am not sure if this is wish or just a topic for discussion, but here it is:

In recent checks I have done with SnS the graphical results have indicated that my parts are fine, but the reports aren't showing this as the maximum stress doesn't happen in the area I am studying, but at the edge constraints of the model.

I wonder if one could not implement a "InSolid" approach for the report where stresses, displacements, etc... are only reported for the meshes inside a Rhino solid, which would allow one to disregard all the weird little stress concentrators that happen at the restraints. This would be for the report only.

Thoughts?

BTW I am a huge fan of the mesh approach since our Rhino models aren't always perfectly closed. I can export the model to STL, use something like NetFab to repair the mesh where needed, then re-import the part into Rhino and run the analysis. Huge time saver compared to trying to get the Rhino models completely closed and "hole free"

Kind regards,

Tom
