Claude & Rhinoceros

Claude MCP ↔ Rhino. First Test

Portal Frame Structure

In Rhinoceros, generate a portal frame structure with a 12 meter span and 4 meter height on the XZ plane. Divide the span into 6 equal modules and place vertical columns at each division point. Connect the columns with a curved top beam defined by a three-point arc. Then create a roof surface by extruding that curve 5 meters along the Y axis. Finally, calculate and display the total roof area in square meters.

Your first response is quite far from the original question, Claude. The structure is floating in the air, the columns do not reach the roof, and the supports on the other side of the roof do not exist after the extrusion. You should design a roof substructure so that beams connect the front columns to the rear columns, which you did not draw. Also, since this is a steel structure, you should include bracing elements to stiffen its behavior against horizontal loads.

Claude asks for permission to modify the objects in the drawing, and this time the result already resembles a real structure. Although it only considers bracing in one direction, the solution is appropriate.
