NextFEM Designer is a free tool for structural analysis for Windows which supports different solvers, such as OOFEM, OpenSees and CalculiX, and can handle models from more than 20 formats. Now you can use it together with Rhino 8 and Grasshopper with the brand-new NextFEM-Link for Grasshopper, which brings some components to export the Rhino model to NextFEM Designer and/or a .NXF (NextFEM format) file. In addition, some query tools are available to use quantities in the model such as nodal coordinates and element connectivity. You can use Rhino 8 to model complex geometries and NextFEM-Li ..read more

  Watch the Industrial and Product Design Detailing with Rhino Video – Part 1 In our latest video tutorials, Phil Cook, Simply Rhino’s Senior Rhino trainer, discusses the details of industrial and product design with Rhino 8. When we consider Rhino and its use in Industrial Design and Product Design, we often think about creating and developing exterior shape and form, managing complex surface transitions and very much concerning ourselves with the visual ‘appearance’ of a product.  You will learn: Internal features for manufacture and assembly Adding Internal Deta ..read more

Rhino User Webinar Designing with Data: How Computational Design Shapes Daily Practice 11 December 2024 at 4:30 pm (CET) This webinar explores how computational design can make the design process smarter, faster, and more creative. We will look at real examples of how data, algorithms, and automation are used to make better design decisions, tackle complex challenges, and free up time from repetitive tasks. Computational design isn’t just a tool—it’s a way to push boundaries and rethink how we approach architecture, landscape, and urbanism. It contributes to bring together creativity ..read more
