Rigging Analysis

The Rigging Analysis node is used setup a rigging analysis. It defines the required factors and offers some solvers to optimize the design.

CoG variations

CoG variations only work on a single body. So if a composition of bodies is lifted the variation can only be applied on one of them.

Rigging analysis

Tilt

Adding watches to the lifted object

[future: ] Automatic optimizing of rigging item lengths

Dual crane

Auto leveling of second hoist

Loads

Adding limits to the rigging items using global factors

Skipping the bending reduction calculation over specific items

It is possible to ignore certain members (Circles, Roundbars, Points) when calculating the bending losses of an item. This is done by giving these members a tag.

What the tags is that you want to have ignored is specified here. It can be a tag expression.

The default tag for this, which may already be used in imported items such as lifting beam edges, is SKIP_BENDING_REDUCTION

Scripting

The RiggingAnalysis Node is a pure-python node. Each Scene can have at most one single RiggingAnalysis node.
