SolidWorks Vs Rhino which one is better

Computer-aided design software were created to not only enable more creativity but also to solve real-world problems. Today we are going to talk about Solidworks and rhino and what they have to offer.

So what are the differences between them? And which one is better? That’s what we are going to talk about today.

It is not about which one is better but about which one is good for the job you have to do.

I stick to rhino because of grasshopper and Sub-D.I use it for building facade design, free form roofs and crazy designs.

Stop! don't compere two different softwares. And Rhino is nurbs modeling software. And it was initially designed to be a plugin for AutoCad. That's why it have such similarities to AutoCad and command interface like AutoCad and that's why it is quick modeler. It's in completely different leauge.

perhaps the best title for this presentation would be: the differences between rhino and SW

[nuduw]

I look at it like Rhino is a design software and SOLIDWORKS is a complete engineering software. A lot of CAM and and CAE features, simulation tools can be found out of the box in SOLIDWORKS, which are entirely absent in Rhino and mostly need 3rd party proprietary plugins or scripts. But I absolutely love Rhino's Grasshopper, hope such a feature would be added in SOLIDWORKS too, it'd open a range of algorithmic design capabilities. SOLIDWORKS is more inclined towards mechanical engineering (or maybe that's how I feel because I am a mech student)

Also, Rhino's 2D capabilities are not at all useful for producing machine drawings of any kind, and at best, it _can_ produce product catalogue drawings, that too with no in-built tools for dimensioning or annotation.

In a nutshell, this comparison makes little sense. Only major thing in common is that both have 3D modelling tools lol. I've only ever seen Rhino being used by my architecture friends at college. All automotive or aeronautical people I've talked to use CATIA or NX but never Rhino.

we can say it another way, which one is better .. Engineering or Design !!! Answer = no Comparison

Could you do a video on Grasshopper vs Dynamo vs Blender Geometry Nodes vs Unreal Procedural Mesh?

[jubjub]

Such a straightforward and helpful video. Thanks!

[jiti]

Would it be correct to say Rhino is not a complete parametric 3 D modeler which can do concept to engineering production friendly 3D and 2D
Are Rhino's 3D surface modelling capability as good or better than SW/SE/ Pro E or Catia and NX?

[BobetoSlim]

You can definitely get a free 90 day trial of the newest Rhino. I have it lol

Parametric Sw=10, Rh=1; Mechanical Modeling Sw=10, Rh=2; Surfaces Sw=4, Rh=10 ; Cinematic Sw=10, Rh=0; They are not comparable . (SolidWorks, Catia, Sólido Edge, Nx)… these others are. (Rhino, 3DsMax, Blender, Maya ) These others are comparable to each other.... Don't compare the egg with the chestnut. 😁😎👍

[mahdiartQassem]

Rhino can do organic design, also by using grasshopper for architecture, while to solidworks more powerful to simulation and CAD system parametric design for automotive, both can't compere just make any video.

[aksting]

Rhino was developed in the early/mid 1990's and not 1980.

[revvinevan]

I’m way faster on Rhino but that’s just me I’m sure others are more fluent and skilled at solid works

[komissar]

Ну что он несет.. ты еще сравни паровоз и кофемолку) запомни сынок - профи работают над одним и тем же проектом в обоих этих программах. Лично я использую от двух до шести программ в одном проекте (в машиностроении) не считая плагинов к ним.

[marcbeckmann]

Sorry, but this is misleading information. Rhino is barely used in the automotive industry. I worked for most European and some of the Asian and American car companies and I've never seen rhino except for visual programming whith Grasshopper, when they build komplicted grids. If you want to be a modeler in the car industry use alias! Even though Rhino is developed by EX alias wavefront employees, rhino is more used in product development maybe in the boat industry sometimes it seems like the Architecture industry and surely the product design industry but not or barely in the transportation design industry! So for everyone who wants to be 3D modeler in the automotive industry you beter learn Alias or blender.

[micemincer]

Those are two totally different software, one is 10 time more expensive of the other - what is the point of comparing them.

[nickpunch]

Dude, check your info in Aviation is using Rhino LOL....Im in Aerospace and we are using Siemens NX. The other software that is widely used in aerospace and automotive is CATIA and Alias for Class A surfacing. SW is used for some product development and Rhino for some industrial design, but its lack of a history tree makes it pretty much useless and DOA as an engineering tool .
