Scan&Solve™ for Rhino: new plug-in makes stress analysis a cinch (no meshing, simplification, or repair!)
The announcement below did appear on the Rhino news feed, and the video showing the plugin in action is already posted here at http://www.rhinofablab.com/video/scansolve-plugin-for-rhino
Please give it a try. The beta is completely free and is perfect for free-form solids.
Scan&Solve™ for Rhino is a new plugin from Intact Solutions that completely automates basic structural testing of Rhino solids. No simplification, healing, translating, or meshing is needed. Depending on complexity of your shape and chosen resolution, you may need to wait for a few minutes, but the results are worth the wait!
Simply pick the material, choose restraints and specify loads on the faces of the solid model:

Hit the go button to see the predicted performance (strength, weakness) of your shape:

It designed and tested for Rhino 4.0; it was reported to work with Rhino 5.0 but only 32 bit version. Give it a try!

This looks great! Does it work with Rhino 5.0?
