Wheel Mouse Zoom

I have recently discovered that zooming with the wheel mouse does not work with SnS running. Maybe it has never worked but I only just noticed. Either way it would be nice to get this fixed if there…Continue

Reaction Forces
2 Replies

I like to check that my reaction forces for any of my structural analyses. This is for my benefit because I may've applied the loads incorrectly and the reactions quickly show any mistakes. Is there…Continue

"Thanks Michael. Since this is probably a rare occurrence it isn't necessary to have a feature for changing units. Maybe a units item in the results tab and displaying the reaction forces will be enough to alert users to any inconsistencies. I…"

Michael Freytag replied to Nick's discussion 'Changing Units'
"All, Regarding "clear results," the [Purge] button on the Specify tab will clear solution results.  It won't do anything for changes in units. Try the latest version (1.4.1.8).  It checks for a change in units in…"

Bob Johansson replied to Nick's discussion 'Changing Units'
"HI:   It sounds like Scan and Solve is missing a "clear results" command which clears the current analysis results without having to re-apply the loads, contraints or other settings.   So you would clear the current analysis…"

Michael Freytag replied to Nick's discussion 'Changing Units'
"Nick, Unfortunately, there isn't currently a way to change the analysis units once they've been established. You can explode the model to clear out the Scan&Solve data and join it back together to establish the new units.  Of…"

"Nick, This is due to a bug in Rhino 4 and its SDK when the Boundary Load Creator sub-dialog is displayed and hidden.  If you exit Scan&Solve and run it again, you will find the scroll wheel will work as you expect... until the…"

Nick replied to Vadim Shapiro's discussion 'Educational materials and references'
"May I suggest some beginner mistakes to be avoided might be a good tutorial specific to Scan&Solve.   Also a tutorial on how to model certain restraints and forces correctly would help me a bit. At the moment it is a lot of trial and error…"

Vadim Shapiro replied to Nick's discussion 'Simple Lug'
"Well,  I cannot say if you are applying the loads "correctly" -- because this depends on how the lug is actually used.  But you to are applying nearly 0.5 million Newtons to a small solid,  40mm thick.  So the computed…"

"Thanks for the suggestion.   Reaction forces are not currently computed,  but  we added them to the list of the requested features."

Nick replied to mario vergara's discussion 'fracture'
"You could always do a multi-step approach to "mimic" a fracture.   Model and SnS the original part. Note the areas of greatest stress that are likely to fracture.   Re-model the part with a "wedge" cut out of it where…"
