What's New in SolidMesh v4.0

Enhancements/ Additions:

  • OpenGL version available.
  • Picking has been improved, speed increased.
  • Graphics speed has increased.
  • 2D version available.
  • Groups may now contain surfaces, curves, and/or points.
  • A status indicator has been added to the GroupEditor to indicate the visibility of the group.
  • Local refinement to the volume grid using line and point sources.
  • Topology check takes into account volume grid boundary conditions.
  • Hot keys added to adjust the view sensitivity, generate the volume grid, and exit. Items may be unpicked using the "Ctrl" key and the corresponding pick function/hot key.
  • The key sequence for all hot keys associated with a button is listed on the button. The ^ symbol is used for the "Ctrl" key and the - for the "Alt" key.
  • Image maps have been added to the documentation for easier navigation.

Bugs Fixed:

  • Interior points and point spacings are saved to the IGES file.
  • Vertices not attached to any geometry are saved to the IGES file.
  • Point spacings may be applied to vertices not attached to any geometry.
  • The Debug connectivity and surrounding neighbor maps are updated when the grid is changed
  • Create elliptic curves by selecting two points and two vectors.
  • Parameterization of surfaces of revolution and circular arcs are more uniform.
