The AnalysisTools plug-in is designed to import your analysis data into Rhino 5 for Windows for visual inspection using false color analysis. The plug-in can be used to read in result files from various analysis software to aid in further refinement of the model. The resulting analysis mesh in Rhino can be used to see 3D false color plots of velocity, pressure, solar radiance, and more.
The plugin currently reads the .TP format. See the Samples directory for these files. It is easy enough to modify this code to read other formats.
In addition to supporting the above file formats, the plugin also supports RhinoScript. Thus, if your analysis data is in some other file format, you can write a script, using RhinoScript, to read your files and create analysis meshes. The RhinoScript-callable methods are documented in the TestAnalysisTools.pdf file included with the project.
