Concha is a
Rhino3D
plug-in for the numerical analysis of shell structures.
Based on the Finite Element Method, Concha lets you analyse the mechanical
behaviour of complex geometries subject to arbitrary loads without leaving the
design environment of Rhino3D.
Getting Started
To get started with Concha please download and read the how-to.Features
The key features of Concha are- Import of any surface-based geometry objects from within Rhino3D
- Specification of supports at vertices, edges or surfaces
- Connection of vertices or surfaces from different geometry parts
- Different material models
- Application of forces to vertices, edges and surfaces
- Temperature and self-weight loading
- Automatised meshing, surface-wise meshing with non-conforming interfaces
- Visualisation of deformed shape, displacement components, reaction forces and equivalent stresses
- No knowledge of Grasshopper or RhinoScript is required
