Scan-and-Solve for Rhino

Simulate Early, Simulate Often... In Rhino

Hi, 

After running SnS, is there a way to bake the sectioning as in the screenshot?

thanks in advance.

Filipe,

Scan&Solve does not have the ability to bake the section.  How would you want the section to be baked?  Would you want the clipped shape AND the planar section?

Hi Michael. 

Thanks for the prompt reply and clarification.

I`m currently using the SnS for simulating compression on a foam like structure with a core. For vizualization immediately after runing SNS is no problem (works beautifuly) but I would to show it as ppt to my cooperation partners so we can improve the geometry.

One thing I tried but didn't work well so as initially though. From von misses baked geometry, I converted the mesh to NURBS in Rhino (takes ages with my geometry), than cutplane&split command (even longer). The outcome is ok but the color gradient is lost. 

best regards, 

Filipe

Hello Filipe,

If you are feeling adventurous you could excise the cross-section appearance from a screen-grab of a properly oriented viewport (e.g. top view of z-section plane) then use this as a texture map onto a manually generated section.  I'd expect that getting the texture properly aligned could be a real challenge.

Hi Michael, 

sounds good! Back to you soon.
