Field Precision Geometer Includes STL 3D
Viewer
 ALBUQUERQUE,
NM, Jul 6, 2009 - Field Precision now includes an easy-to-learn, versatile
viewer for STL models in all 3D finite-element software packages.
STL (stereo lithography) files are the pathway for importing complex
shapes from SolidWorks, Pro/E 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:
- Clean interface with intuitive controls.
- In addition to the standard perspective view, the program features a
unique orthogonal projection mode. The mode supports automatic or
user-controlled fiducials and a full range of zoom and pan commands for
close-ups.
- Accurate coordinate measurements of features in the orthogonal mode.
- Human-engineered mouse-based view controls in the perspective mode
with context-sensitive cursors.
- Individual models may be displayed in solid-surface or wireframe
mode.
- Automatic calculation of STL file statistics (number of facets,
limits of nodes, center-of-mass,...).
- Define cut planes for individual models to look inside complex
assemblies.
- Utilities to transform STL models include
- scale or change coordinate units,
- change proportions of an object by scaling along one or two
axes,
- convert a text file to binary format and
- 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.
