  2. SmartView 3D Overview View Meshed Models View EM Observables Check Model for Errors Edit Meshed Model

  3. SmartView I/O Formats • Three CAD formats • BYU, STL, X3D • Two CEM code formats • NEC, GEMACS • XML Schema • Two native formats GEMACS Surface Mesh NEC Wireframe Mesh X3D Surface Model

  4. SmartView Handles More than Geometry Model Identity Model Name, File Name Model Changed, Model Needs Updating Status Flags Geometry Points, Edges, Polygons Observables Points, Values Data Set Selections Selected Points, Selected Polys Points, Wireframe, Contours, Solid, etc. Rendering

  5. SmartView Top Level Design: What, Where, How Model Display Lists Select View Object X Arc Ball

  6. Composition of the SmartView Screen SmartView Components - • Model/Observable Name • Menu Bar • View Controls • Render Controls • Movement Controls • Selection Box • Viewing Mode Selection • Axis Controls • Model Statistics • Reload Button

  7. SmartView Menu Bar Menu Items - • File – Open/Save, Reload, Print, Export, Exit • Edit – Copy/Paste, Add, Delete, Edit • View – Origin, Clip Planes, Set View, Fit to Screen • Model – Copy, Display, Delete, Switch • Preferences – Light, Axis, Colorbar, Integrity, Settings • Observables – Load, Switch • Tools – Decimate, Tessellate, Smooth, Transform… • Utilities – Model Statistics • Help – Index, Getting Started, License, About

  8. SmartView File Menu • New – Creates empty model • Open – Opens a file and reads a model • Save – Re-Saves model in its original file • Save As – Saves model in user-selected file • Reload – Reloads displayed model from its file • Export – Exports graphic: JPEG or PNG • Print – Prints screen view • Exit – Closes all files and exits SmartView File menu also lists names of last four files accessed.

  9. SmartView Edit Menu • Copy – Copies selected points/polys into the copy/paste buffer. • Paste – Pastes points/polys in copy/paste buffer into model. • Add – Adds points and polys to model. • Delete – Deletes points and polys from model. • Edit – Edits properties of points and polys. • Select All – Selects entire model.

  10. Correcting a Modeling Error - Animation

  11. SmartView View Menu • Origin – Sets the origin of the viewer. • Clip Planes – Sets and activates up to four clip planes. • Set View – Manually set the viewing angle. • Fit to Screen – Re-calibrate the viewing screen to fit the entire model in it.

  12. Using Clip Planes

  13. SmartView Model Menu • Copy Model – Copies the model currently displayed. • Delete Model – Deletes model currently displayed • Rename Model – Renames the displayed model. • Delete from List – Select a model for deletion. • Select Model – Select a model for display. Models in memory are appended to this menu.

  14. SmartView Preferences Menu • Light – Set the lighting parameters for solid model viewing. • Axis – Set the size and thickness of the XYZ axes. • Colorbar – Set the colorbar parameters. • Integrity – Set the error checking and model integrity parameters. • Settings – Set the SmartView preferences and settings for files, fonts, and colors.

  15. Using Light Sources

  16. Using Colorbar to Accentuate Observables

  17. SmartView Error and Integrity Checking • SmartView can check the validity of your model via a set of integrity measures. • Mesh, patches, segments, junctions, connections. • Upon completion, the model will be colored green/yellow/red for ok/warning/error.

  18. Results of Integrity Checks

  19. SmartView Observables Menu • Read Pnt Data – Reads SmartView *.pnt observable data • Read SV Data – Reads SmartView *.sv observable data List of observables associated with the displayed model are appended to this menu.

  20. SmartView Tools Menu • Decimate – Remove polys from model. • Tessellate – Re-facet model more finely. • Transform – Rotate, translate, scale model. • Re-Feature – Recompute feature (crease) angle. • Smooth – Smooth the model. • Remove – Delete unused points. • Normals – Recompute all point normals. • Re-Visualize – Regenerate openGL display lists. • Integrity -- Check model integrity.

  21. SmartView Utilities and Help Menus • Help Index – Index of all help topics. • Getting Started – Quick tour of SmartView. • License Key – Enter or update license key. • New User Info – Information for the new user. • About SmartView – SmartView version, installation, and license summary. • Model Stats – Display model statistics.

  22. Sample Help Viewer Screen

  23. SmartView Help Added to Help Assistant

  24. SmartView View Controls Axis Reference Principal Plane Presets UnZoom View Re-Center View Save Views

  25. SmartView Decorations Don’t Show Overlay Grid Show Point Numbers Show Points Show Poly Numbers Distinct Contours Show Colorbar Show Skeleton Gouraud Contours

  26. SmartView Rendering Controls Show only the XYZ Axes Render with Points Render in Wireframe Render as Polygons Render as Solid Show Bounding Box Only

  27. SmartView Movement Controls(you can also move the model with the mouse) Rotate Model Top to Bottom Zoom/UnZoom Model Translate Model Up/Down Translate Model Left/Right Rotate Model in XY Plane Rotate Model in Quasi-Roll Plane Change Slider Step Size

  28. SmartView Axis Constraints

  29. SmartView Viewing Modes Edit View Error Mouse Controls vs. Mode

  30. SmartView Initial Setup • General features • File options • Font sizes • Colors • Errors • Other (start-up options) Now would be a good time to start SmartView!

  31. Preferences → SmartView Settings → FeaturesPreferences → SmartView Settings → Files

  32. Preferences → SmartView Settings → Fonts

  33. Preferences → SmartView Settings → ColorsPreferences → SmartView Settings → Errors

  34. Preferences → SmartView Settings → Other

  35. SmartView Demonstration - Basics • Modeling basics • Reading models • Manipulating models • Rendering models • Quickly reloading a model • Observables basics • Reading observables • Rendering observables • Changing colorbar settings • Other basic features • Using clip planes • Using light sources • Reading multiple models • Switching between models • Removing models from the list

  36. SmartView Hands-on – Basics(tutorials by Michael Coffey) • Tutorial #1 – page 5.29 • Loading a model • Changing rendering and viewing modes • Loading observable data • Viewing model data • Summary • Tutorial #2 – page 5.33 • Loading a model • Changing rendering modes • Finding modeling errors • Using clip planes • Summary
