LabRPS, like many modern design applications, is based on the concept of Plugin. A plugin can be considered as a set of tools specially grouped for a certain task.

In LabRPS, the same concept applies. Tools are provided through plugins. The plugins are in turn some collection of objects called RPS objects or RPS features.

Built-in plugins

The following plugins are bundled with every LabRPS installation: They are easily installable from within LabRPS, using the Plugin Installer, found under menu Tools → File:Std CmdPluginInstaller.png Plugins....

  • Labrps.svg Std Base. This is not really a plugin, but rather a category of 'standard' commands and tools that can be used in all plugins.
  • Plugin windLab.svg The WindLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of random wind velocity.
  • Plugin seismicLab.svg The SeismicLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of seismic ground motion.
  • Plugin seaLab.svg The SeaLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of sea surface.


External plugins

LabRPS plugins are easy to program in C++, there are therefore many people developing additional plugins outside of the LabRPS main development area.

The external plugins page lists all that are known to this community.

New plugins are always in development, stay tuned!
