Mesh To Solid 2.0

Mesh To Solid is a software to convert a mesh into a solid. Mesh To Solid is built over the award winning IntelliCAD platform, a full featured 3D CAD system. Each Mesh To Solid license comes with a free commercial license of IntelliCAD worth 250 USD. A mesh is a set of vertices connected by edges that describe triangular or quadrilateral faces. These faces describe the shape of the object that the mesh describes. Meshes are often used to describe closed solid or open surface objects. However, general solid modeling software do not have methods to manipulate or modify mesh objects. Solid modeling operations such as boolean operations (add, subtract, intersect), extrude, offset, fillet, chamfer, rib, draft, shell, hollow, etc. are possible only with solid or surface objects. Moreover, there is no way to convert a mesh into a solid so that the solid modeling operations can be carried out on it. Mesh To Solid solves this problem by giving you the ability to convert a mesh to a solid. Mesh To Solid can read mesh objects from the following file formats: Stereolithography files (*.stl) Wavefront files (*.obj) OpenNURBS files (*.3dm) Mesh To Solid saves solid data in the following file formats: ACIS files (*.sat) OpenNURBS files (*.3dm) Mesh To Solid is designed to be extremely user friendly and easy to understand. Its as easy as opening a mesh file using the Open command and saving it as a solid using the Save Ascommand.

TerrainCAD 1.0

TerrainCAD is a terrain generation, editing and modeling software. Powered by TerrainLib, TerrainCAD employs blazing fast and robust algorithms to create and modify terrain meshes in no time. The capabilities of TerrainCAD can be broadly classified as (1) Terrain Generation, (2) Terrain Editing, and (3) Terrain Modeling Terrain Generation: TerrainCAD creates a terrain mesh from a set of unorganized survey points, breaklines and contours. The terrain mesh is created as a Delaunay Triangulation, which is regarded as the best method to create a terrain mesh from unorganized point data. TerrainCAD can also generate a terrain mesh directly from contours only. Breaklines can be employed to give TerrainCAD the intelligence to create superior terrain meshes that accurately resemble the actual landscape to be recreated. Terrain Editing: Often terrain meshes need to be manually edited for various reasons. TerrainCAD makes this very easy by offering a host of terrain mesh editing commands. TerrainCAD has very useful commands to edit vertices, edges and faces of a terrain mesh. Terrain Modeling: TerrainCAD also offers several mesh modeling commands. These commands help in altering the general topology of the mesh thereby making it suitable for furtheroperations.

HPGL Export for SolidWorks 1.0

HPGL Export for SolidWorks is a HPGL plot file export add-in for SolidWorks. This add-in gives SolidWorks the ability to export geometric data from SolidWorks drawings to HPGL Plot (PLT) files. HPGL is the Hewlett Packard Graphics Language designed for specifying 2D graphical information for the HP range of plotters. It was not intended as an interchange format but some software suppliers use it as such. HPGL is a command set embedded in the ROM of pen plotters to help reduce the work required by applications programmers to create plotted output. HPGL uses two-letter mnemonics as instructions for drawing lines, circles, text, and simple symbols. HPGL Export for SolidWorks breaks down SolidWorks drawing objects into pen movements and writes them to the output plot file. HPGL Export for SolidWorks supports the following plotters: Hewlett-Packard 7475A Hewlett-Packard 7550A Hewlett-Packard 7580B Hewlett-Packard 7585B Hewlett-Packard 7586B Hewlett-Packard Draftmaster 1 (7595A) Hewlett-Packard Draftmaster 2 (7596A) Hewlett-Packard Draftpro (7570A) Hewlett-Packard Draftpro-DXL (7575A) Hewlett-Packard Draftpro-EXL (7576A) HPGL Export for SolidWorks is very easy to use as it adds a new file type to the SolidWorks File Save As dialog box. To export a PLT file select Save As from the File menu. Select "HPGL Plot Files (*.plt)" from the "File of type" combo box and select a PLT file to exportto.

3DM Import for AutoCAD 1.0

3DM Import for AutoCAD is a Rhino 3D Model / OpenNURBS 3DM file import plug-in for AutoCAD. This plug-in gives AutoCAD the ability to import geometric data from 3DM files. 3DM Import for AutoCAD offers seamless conversion of 3DM geometry to AutoCAD's DWG geometry. The integrity of layers, blocks, block instances or inserts, dimensions, etc. are maintained across the conversion. Optionally, polycurves, meshes and blocks can be exploded into simpler objects during the import. The OpenNURBS Initiative was founded by Robert McNeel & Associates in January 2000, with the sole purpose of providing CAD, CAM, CAE and computer graphics software users reliable methods for transferring 3D geometry between applications via the 3DM (3D Model) file format. The 3DM file format is the native file format of Rhinoceros, the NURBS modeling software from McNeel. At SYCODE, we believe that the 3DM file format has tremendous potential and will go a long way to solve the data exchange problem of the CAD software industry. TerrainCAD, our terrain generation, editing and modeling software, also uses the 3DM file format as its native file format. 3DM Import for AutoCAD is very easy to use as it adds a new command to AutoCAD called 3DMImport. Simply type 3DMImport at the AutoCAD command prompt and select a 3DM file to import into theactive AutoCAD drawing.
