====== Basic Operation ======

In Rhino, type **SnS** in the Rhino’s command prompt window and select a solid model on which structural analysis is to be performed. Refer to section on [[wiki:sns:sns2014:supported_rhino_models|Supported Rhino Models]] on how to determine if the Rhino model is a valid solid.

A typical sequence of commands to perform structural test on the solid model is as follows:

  - Select the [[wiki:sns:sns2014:materials|material]], standard or **Custom**
  - Apply the [[wiki:sns:sns2014:restraints|restraints]], **Edit** to partially restrain
  - Apply the [[wiki:sns:sns2014:loads|loads]], **Edit** to modify
  - Click **Go**
  - **View** the [[wiki:sns:sns2014:results|results]] (strength, weakness, stresses, deformations)
  - Click **[[wiki:sns:sns2014:bake_deformed_geometry|Bake]]** to save the deformed shape
  - Click **[[wiki:sns:sns2014:report|Report]]** to generate web-ready reports

The commands are initiated by clicking on the corresponding buttons in the Specify and View tabs of Scan&Solve™ as explained in the summary of [[wiki:sns:sns2014:controls|Controls]].
