  1. Gerrick Bivins Research Scientist Iowa State University Introduction to VE-Suite

  2. Before we get started: • Downloads: • VE-Suite and dependencies • www.vrac.iastate.edu/~biv/unofficial_installs/ves_9745_win32 • Demos for today: • www.vrac.iastate.edu/~biv/unofficial_installs/ves_9745_win32/demos • NOTE: VES requires Microsoft runtime redistributable SP1 to run!!!

  3. Overview VE-Suite Components Conductor Xplorer Computational Engine Open spec Software Objects Data Integration CAD CFD/FEA etc… Demos Basic Object Construction Basic Scientific Vis TBET

  4. Software Components • VE-Open API • C++ API • XML data exchange format • IDL interfaces

  5. Core Components: Xplorer • Graphics Engine • Desktop, powerwal, c6, c4 etc. • Dependencies • vrJuggler – Hardware/Graphics • VTK – Dataset representation • OpenSceneGraph – scene graph • Xerces-c – xml API • ACE/TAO -- CORBA

  6. Core Components: Conductor • Graphical User Interface • Dependencies • wxWidgets • Xerces-c • ACE/TAO -- CORBA

  7. Core Components: CE • Computational Engine • Dependencies • Xerces-c • ACE/TAO -- CORBA

  8. Defining Objects • Still being defined (McCorkle, Bryden) • So far Objects can contain • CAD • CFD • FEA • Etc…

  9. Objects: CAD Integration • CAD files • OpenSceneGraph • www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg • Supports many standard file formats • No direct read of CAD (ProE, AutoCAD etc.)

  10. Objects: 2d/3d Data integration • Visualization ToolKit • www.vtk.org • CVS version!!!!! • Readers for various 2D/3D Grid data • Plot3D • StarCD • Fluent • Ensight

  11. Demos • Object Construction • Geometry • Cloning • Transformations • Materials/Shaders • CFD Data • Basic Scientific Visualization • Texture Based Engineering Tools (TBET)
