"Rick, 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: In this case, I've added a small square hole through the…"

"the thermal stress and deformation due to the thermal stress are very important issue in many industries. I hope you put this analysis capabilities on SnS slover,soon.  "

"Very glad to hear that,It’s very important， of course. Thermal ,thermo-structural and fluid mechanics are widely requested."

"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…"

"Rick,  the prices for the initial version of Scan&Solve are already announced.  Look under the "Purchase" tab.    Where else can you get the  `Holy Grail'  at that price?   :-)    …"

"Vadim, call me Rick.  If you price it appropriately, to me what you have here is the 'Holy Grail'- as the engineering department went from calculators and working with draftsmen to creating virtual prototypes in 3D, I've worked…"

"Richard,  thank you for the suggestions on the restraints.  They are on the "future" list. Also,  we would love to see some solved problems,  particularly those that bring the "others" to their knees!  …"

"Pin joints would be my need for this... and it is important.  If you had a cylindrical surface it could be restrained 'normal to the surface' only but allowed to 'slide' rotationally or longitudinally. (For the interface,…"

"I see.  We have avoided introducing point  and edge restraints  because they are not physical.   They are also often requested by users, particularly those who are used to using mesh-based FEA solutions where restraints are…"

"at first glange I would say the simplest way could be the possibility to constrain (X,Y,Z individually) not only surfaces but single points. In that way, with proper points choice, it would be possible to let or block any rigid body rotational…"

"This is an ongoing process:  we continually discuss what types of constraints may be added in Scan&Solve without overly complicating the simplicity of user interface.    If you have specific constraints in mind, and have some…"

"Thermal and thermo-structural analysis  are definitely on our roadmap.    However,   we prioritize our development  based on expressed user demand, and surprisingly there have not been many requests for thermo-structural…"
