Hi MoI3d team,

I've been using MoI3d for about two weeks. I've been going through the forum to learn a few modeling and scripting tricks. I am still learning the ins and outs of making my own plugins. Absolutely love it, specially after coming from Lightwave.

But, I need little help. I am casting a challenge to the amazing folks developing scripts for Moi3d. Michael, Max and Frenchy come to mind.

After distroying a part that I printed in 3d, it occurred to me if there is a way to show mechanical properties within Moi3d.

I am thinking something along the lines of a material's coefficients database (.json) that can be used to annualize a mechanical part(s), maybe within node, it will show a color gradient based on the external effector: heat, torque, tension, pressure, spring etc. Can it be done using .js within Moi3d?

Any leads are much appreciated.

best,

Hi Carlos, Max did write a script to do a volume calculation, you can find it on his script repository page here: http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/ look for the one named CVolume.

A full fledged stress analysis is likely to be an extremely much larger amount of work though, it's not likely to be feasible to implement in script. There are entire complex programs devoted to doing that, look for Finite Element Analysis (FEM) programs which you can import your MoI model into.

Thank you Michael!
