SOFiSTiK Rhinoceros interface for civil engineers

Your bridge between design and structural analysis

Turn Rhinoceros into a complete structural modeling platform. Create structural elements, boundary conditions, and loads directly in Rhino, then parametrize with Grasshopper to keep up with evolving designs. With support for over 30 file formats, advanced modeling tools, and broad industry integrations, Rhino becomes an affordable yet capable platform for any structural analysis workflow.

Why SOFiSTiK Rhino Interface?

Structural analysis meets architectural design

Bridge the gap between architectural geometry and engineering precision.

Native Rhino integration

Model structural elements, supports, and loads directly inside Rhino.

Parametric Grasshopper toolbox

Use the dedicated component library for parametric structural models.

Seamless SOFiSTiK connectivity

Send your model to SOFiSTiK for calculation with one click.

How does it work?

From geometry to results in three steps

Model

Define geometry, assign materials, cross-sections, supports and loads.

Calculate & design

Transfer your model to SOFiSTiK for structural analysis and design.

Visualize

Display calculation and design results directly in Rhino.

Key capabilities

Everything you need for complex structural models
