Rhino 3D
Dynamic Design Tools
Rhino is one of the best tools to explore and develop a wide range of solutions. Rhino combined with Grasshopper is an ideal toolset to generate dynamic associated geometries such as NURBS surfaces, meshes and solid models. Grasshopper can support sophisticated dynamic models used to explore design solutions. Go far beyond what has been previously possible to design or fabricate with the additional information Grasshopper can generate.​
-
Create parametric systems to explore the design solution.
-
Visualize changes realtime.
-
Integrate intelligent data sets within the design process.
-
Optimization of form and organizational topologies with analytics.
-
Filter and configure a wide range of information to inform the design.
-
Enable the integration of various file formats in a coordinated process.
Analysis and Simulations
Rhino and Grasshopper have a rich ecosystem of plugins that run inside Rhino to allow for early analysis and simulation of your designs. Use integrated plugins or scripts to quickly analyze the ideas. As the design progresses, use the geometry to drive more traditional analysis tools that you already use.​
-
Site-specific weather, environment, and energy analysis.
-
Daylighting analysis of exteriors and interior spaces.
-
Structural analysis compatible with many popular packages.
-
Pedestrian path and egress analysis.
-
Space configurations and scale.
-
3-dimensional view analysis.
BIM and Documentation
Along with various plugins, Rhino integrates with BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflow. Use Rhino features to link geometry and object data with BIM models. Plugins also support import and export with the IFC file format to exchange Rhino models with other AEC applications.
