Originally, this topic was boring to everyone, but I still want to talk about it. Because many people (including me, of course) have always had a vague concept about the positioning and function of rhinoceros! However, I learned a lot from him during the training in Shanghai last week. What touched me most was this question: What can a rhinoceros do?
I believe cafer, as the training director of rhinoceros headquarters, will give us an authoritative answer.
1, Rhino is a CAID software, and the so-called CAID is computer aided.
industrial
Short for design. Rhino is a modeling design software, not an animation software, nor a CAM engineering software. However, Rhino has high elasticity because of its free-form curves and surfaces.
2. Please don't compare with aliases. It's really boring If I have to compete, I can say with certainty that ALIAS is far better than Rhino, and Rhino has never regarded ALIAS a competitor. We will recommend our customers to choose ALIAS instead of Rhino of our company! That's the reason, but don't forget that the price of alias is ten or even twenty times that of rhinoceros! It is unfair to compare software without considering the price.
3. Don't compare Rhino with CAM software (solidwork, CATIA, PRO-E, etc. ). Rhino is a software based on the surface kernel, not a solid kernel, which means that there is no concept of topology record in Rhino! Only ultraviolet light. The powerful function of software like CATIA is incomparable to Rhino, and it seems to us to be a divine software. Therefore, please give a reasonable evaluation to a software in its early 10,000 yuan.
4. Do not use Rhino for operations that require high-order surfaces, such as cars and airplanes. Rhinoceroses don't want to do it. Dixon told me that their car modeling is generally on the 7th order surface, and Rhino can only support the highest order 1 1. But in addition to other industries that require high surfaces, Rhino can also cope with other industries, such as jewelry, home appliances, mobile phones and so on!
When it comes to the derivative of Rhino, everyone must have a headache. However, if your model is of good quality, it is no problem to import software such as solidwork, but no matter how you set it on PRO-E, there is a breakthrough (just how much difference). Don't just use it IGES format, and. The step format is also very good!
That's all, not to say how good Rhino is, but to let everyone have a correct understanding of Rhino.
