Rhino can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate NURBS* curves, surfaces, and solids, point clouds, and polygon meshes.

*NURBS, Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines, are mathematical representations of 3‑D geometry that can accurately describe any shape from a simple 2‑D line, circle, arc, or curve to the most complex 3‑D organic free-form surface. Because of their flexibility and accuracy, NURBS models can be used in any process from illustration and animation to manufacturing.

SketchUp is a 3D modeling computer program for a wide range of drawing applications such as architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, film and video game design.

In the School of Arts, Design and Architecture we have a floating license both for Mac and Windows. Current version is 2021. Also V-Ray for SketchUp is included in the default installation package.

Known issues

• Current installation will nag about available update. Please pass, users have no adequate right for update. If an update is needed, faculty can send a request to workstation team.
• The software is currently not installed on Mac class computers. It can be installed manually also to Mac computers by (reasoned) request from faculty.

SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering computer program.

Guidelines for Students Using Solidworks EDU

Course cooperation with the company

The company can see the outputs of the students. If a company wants to use licensed files for production, that plan must be redone from scratch under the company’s license.

Master's theses done with a company 

The company can see the outputs of the students. If a company wants to use the files created under the license for purposes other than evaluating output, that plan must be redone from scratch under the company's license.

Competition 

If part of Aalto's studies, or a competition aimed specifically at students, can participate with an EDU license.

Portfolio 

If the material is part of the studies (has produced study attatiments), the use is allowed when the mention of eg "Coursework made in Aalto University". When the course is made in co-operation with a partner, check the course  agreement or  with responsible tecaher, to see how credit is agreed to be mentioned.
