======Basic Operation====== - Run Grasshopper by typing **Grasshopper** at the Rhino command line\\ - Navigate to the Intact.Simulation Toolbar in Grasshopper - Select a **Solver** for the the physics of interest (stress, thermal, modal) - Add **[[wiki:sns:intactgh:components|components]]** and assign [[wiki:sns:intactgh:materials|material]] - Apply **boundary conditions** ([[wiki:sns:intactgh:restraints|restraints]] and [[wiki:sns:intactgh:loads|loads]]) - Click **Solve** to compute simulation results - View [[wiki:sns:intactgh:results|results]] by connecting the results viewer {{ :wiki:sns:intactgh:annotated_toolbar.png?800}} =====Stress Simulation quick start===== - Insert [[stress_solver|stress solver block]] - Insert [[wiki:sns:intactgh:solver_settings|solver settings block]] to set resolution or grid size - Insert simulation [[components|component block]] - Specify geometry - Insert and connect [[materials|material]] block - Connect components to stress solver - Insert [[restraints|restraint block]] - Specify surfaces to restrain - Connect restraints to stress solver - Insert [[surface_loads|surface load block]] of choice (vector load shown) - Specify surfaces to load - Specify load particulars (such as magnitude or direction) - Connect loads to stress solver - Click [Solve] on stress solver component (if Boolean is toggled "True" it will solve automatically) - Insert [[results|visualization block]] - Connect output of stress solver - Right click to select solution quantity of interest {{:wiki:sns:intactgh:solution_process.png?1200}}
