The whole machine.

A Strandbeest in Cliff CAD: 102 bodies across 15 parts, one crank driving six pairs of legs.

Cliff CAD in its light theme, with a Strandbeest walking machine open: the parts browser on the left, the model in the viewport.

Simulation

Stress, vibration and heat, solved on the part you are designing.

Von Mises stress on a suspension upright, highest at the lower mount; 99% of it is under 73.3 MPa.

Its own kernel

Piton, a boundary-representation kernel written for Cliff. Exact geometry, not a mesh.

Built for agents

Every action is a command. An agent runs the same commands you do.

Motion and simulation

Joints, motors and contact; stress, vibration and heat, on the parts you design.

Standard files
