Finite Element Software features 3D viewer.
Press Release Summary:
Offering interactive environment for solid modeling, Geometer Software uses stereo lithography viewer to simultaneously display up to 100 STL files, with automatic adjustment for text or binary format. In addition to perspective view, program features orthogonal projection mode, which supports automatic or user-controlled fiducials and range of zoom and pan commands for close-ups. Individual models can be displayed in solid-surface or wireframe mode.
Original Press Release:
Field Precision Adds Full-featured 3D Viewer
SUMMARY
Field Precision now includes an easy-to-learn, versatile viewer for STL models in all 3D finite-element software packages.
BODY
STL (stereo lithography) files are the pathway for importing complex shapes from SolidWorks, ProE and other 3D CAD programs into MetaMesh, the Field Precision conformal mesh generator. Because of the growing importance of shape import, the company has added a powerful STL viewer to Geometer (an interactive environment for solid modeling). The viewer simultaneously display up to 100 STL files, with automatic adjustment for text or binary format. The program uses OpenGL for real-time, interactive graphics. The Geometer viewer has several advantages compared to other available software:
2) change proportions of an object by scaling along one or two axes, 3) convert a text file to binary format and 4) shift and/or rotate a model in space.
The STL Viewer is the perfect utility for researchers and engineers who want to incorporate sets of 3D CAD objects into finite-element calculations. Field Precision offers a 30-day trial of the Geometer/MetaMesh package with the new STL Viewer.
