The jungle where all Rhino animals live
Rhino lacks design intent. To remedy this, we present a tool called Rhino Assembly that captures design intent for Rhino. As a plug-in application, it runs directly in the Rhino environment. It allows Rhino users to use geometric constraints and driving dimensions for intelligent modification of 3D models consisting of rigid parts. Once the plug-in is installed, users can easily assemble complex mechanisms and then test the kinematics to see moving mechanisms in action. The simplicity of the Rhino Assembly user interface hides the strong mathematical algorithms used in this software, which come from the field of geometric constraint solving. The corresponding computational technology has been under development since 2001 by LEDAS Ltd., a Russian science-intensive software development company. The technology is mature enough to be used in many CAD, CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), and CAE (computer-aided engineering) packages, most of them now available on the market commercially5,6,7,8,9,10.Comment
