RhinoAULT is an interactive form-finding plug-in for Rhinoceros®s



The Rhinoceros® plug-in [RhinoVAULT](https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/rhinovault), originally developed by Dr. Matthias Rippmann at the Block Research Group at ETH Zurich, emerged from research on structural form finding using the _Thrust Network Analysis (TNA)_ approach to intuitively create and explore compression-only structures.

Using reciprocal diagrams, RhinoVAULT provides an intuitive, fast funicular form-finding method, adopting the same advantages of techniques such as _Graphic Statics_, but offering a viable extension to three-dimensional problems. Our goal is to share a transparent setup to let you not only create beautiful shapes but also to give you an understanding of the underlying structural principles.

A `Pattern` object is a mesh datastructure that describes the topology of the structure. Several additional layers of information regarding the boundary conditions need to be added in order to give the `Pattern` a structural meaning: identification of the supports, and treatment of the openings and open edges.
