See the following videos to get started with Intact.Simulation Grasshopper Plugin quickly. Grasshopper. This is your one-stop spot to learn everything you need about Scan&Solve Pro! Follow the links below to read about each topic. Some topics are also supplemented with videos or blog posts.

• Open Rhino 3D and load your design
• For this quick guide, start with a B-rep (surface meshes like STL require a slightly different Step 2)

• Make copies of faces that have boundary conditions to be applied
• Note that the steps here are for a CAD file (Polysurfaces in Rhino). For surface meshes (such as STL or PLY

• Get started by launching Grasshopper. Type “Grasshopper” in the Command entry box

• Create a component from the design geometry and specify the appropriate material

• Specify the faces that are fixed

• Specify the faces that are loaded as well as load type and load magnitude (pressure load in this case)

• Specify the number of elements for simulation.

• Execute simulation to solve the structural finite element problem defined previously

• Visualize the results such as displacement and stresses as the colormap

• Scale the deformation to see the deflected shape
