Description
‘Rhino Beam Tools’ is a rhino plugin built as a bridge between Rhino and specialized beam calculation software.
Our plugin helps you to draw your beams, set constraints to the nodes, and export the whole thing to the external software.
At the moment, supported software are:
- Steel 3 (*.stw) [EXPORT]
- Steel 4 (*.steel) [IMPORT + EXPORT]
- RDM6 – RDM7 (*.por) [EXPORT]
Steel is Bureau Veritas (Certification office) official software for beam calculation certifications.
Installation
System: Rhino 6.15 or later – or Rhino 5.12 – Tested successfully with Rhino 7.1
Activation:
The free evaluation can be used once per computer and requires network access to the following address: 51.254.220.203

Toolbar:
The toolbars for Rhino are always included in your plugins installation directory, or can be downloaded here.
