-[[https://www.intact-solutions.com/scan-solve/scansolve-pro-download/|{{wiki:download_button.png?125}}]]
-====Installation====
-After downloading the installer from the above link, run the installer. If SnSPro was already installed on your computer, it will update the existing folder with the new version.
-====Operation====
-Scan&Solve functionality is available by typing SnSPro at Rhino's command prompt and selecting a **solid** or **closed mesh** on which to operate.
-  * **SnSPro** opens Scan&Solve, starting with the scenario selector.
-  * **SnSDocs** opens the online documentation for Scan&Solve Pro.
-  * **SnSWeb** links to [[http://scan-and-solve.com|scan-and-solve.com]], which contains community resources and help pages.
-====Controls====
-===Overview of Controls===
-All controls in Scan&Solve Pro are aggregated in three tabs: **Specify** tab for setting up the analysis problem, **View** tab for visualizing the computed solution, and **Settings** tab for adjusting simulation parameters.
-===Specify Tab===
-The specify tab is where the simulation setup is performed. All the tools for adding, editing, and deleting components, restraints, and loads are located on this tab.
-**Components Group**
-Components must be closed valid solid objects in Rhino including closed solid **meshes**, closed valid **polysurfaces**, and solid **extrusion** objects.
-**Components Group**
-*   **[Add]** - add a component to the scenario.
-*   **[Edit]** - edit the material that comprises the selected component(s).
-*   **[Delete]** - remove the selected component from the scenario.
-**Restraints Group**
-*   **[Add]** - add a restraint to the scenario.
-*   **[Edit]** - edit the definition of the selected restraint.
-*   **[Delete]** - delete the selected restraint from the scenario.
-**Loads Group**
-*   **[Add]** - add a load to the scenario.
-*   **[Edit]** - edit the definition of the selected load.
-*   **[Delete]** - delete the selected load from the scenario.
-**Resolution**
-*   **[Slider]** - adjust the slider to specify the simulation resolution.
-*   **[Show Grid]** - checkbox enables/disables display of the solution grid during simulation setup and visualization.
-*   **[Grid Color]** - button selects the color used for displaying the solution grid.
-**Controls**
-*   **[Go!]** - begin the simulation solving process.
-*   **[Done]** - finish working with scenario, save and close SnSPro.
-*   **[Purge]** - clear solution results to save space.
-*   **[Cancel]** - exit SnSPro without saving.
-===View Tab===
-**Component Group**
-The components group allows selection from the available solution quantities.
-**Deflection Group**
-*   **[Enable Deflection]** - checkbox toggles the display of magnified deflection.
-*   **[Deflection Slider]** - adjusts the deflection scale factor.
-*   **[Deflection Edit Box]** - allows entry of deflection scale factor and displays.
-**Mark Group**
-*   **[Min]** - mark the location and value of the minima of the current solution quantity.
-*   **[Point]** - mark the value of the current solution quantity at a user-defined point.
-*   **[Max]** - mark the location and value of the maxima of the current solution quantity.
-**Section Group**
-*   **[Enable Section]** - checkbox toggles the section plane on/off.
-*   **[Section Slider]** - adjust the slider to position the section plane.
-*   **[X]** **[Y]** **[Z]** - radio buttons set the orientation of the section plane.
-*   **[Flip]** - checkbox flips the visible side of the section plane.
-**Legend Group**
-*   **[Max Slider]** - adjust the legend upper limit.
-*   **[Max Edit Box]** - allows entry of legend upper limit and displays.
-*   **[Min Slider]** - adjust the legend lower limit.
-*   **[Min Edit Box]** - allows entry of legend lower limit and displays.
-*   **[Legend ComboBox]** - selects the current legend color scheme.
-*   **[Font ComboBox]** - selects the font for the legend labels.
-*   **[Color ComboBox]** - selects the color for the legend labels.
-*   **[Retain Settings]** - checkbox controls whether legend settings are retained between simulations.
-*   **[Reset]** - button resets the legend settings to the default for the currently displayed solution component.
-*   **[Reset All]** - button resets the legend settings to the default for all the solution components.
-**Other Controls**
-*   **[Bake]** - bake the visualization mesh to the Rhino document or an external file. ([More...](bake.htm))
-*   **[Report]** - generate a web-ready report of the simulation results. ([More...](std_report.htm))
-===Settings Tab===
-*   **[DSS Solver]** - use this radio button to select the direct sparse solver.
-*   **[ISS Solver]** - use this radio button to select the iterative sparse solver.
-*   **[SnS Solver]** - use this radio button to select the Scan&Solve iterative solver.
-*   **[Precision]** - this value controls the relative error tolerance at which the Scan&Solve solver iterations stop.
-**Simulation Settings Group**
-The current simulation settings are displayed in this listbox.
-**Other Controls**
-*   **[Material CSYS Display]** - this checkbox toggles display of the material coordinate systems.
-*   **[Defaults]** - reset the simulation settings to their default values.
-*   **[Activate]** - use this button to activate the Scan&Solve license.
