SMLib™ SMLib™
Our flagship product built upon TSNLib™ provides fully functional non-manifold topological structure and solid modeling functionality including the ability to perform NURBS boolean operations, fillets, etc. TSNLib™ TSNLib™
Built on top of GSNLib supporting trimmed surface representations. GSNLib™ GSNLib™
A basic curve and surface NURBS library. GSNLib™ provides a useful interface to NLib while adding value as well. Includes curve/curve and surface/surface intersection and polygon modeling. NLib™ NLib™
A comprehensive BSpline NURBs library fully supporting curves, surfaces, and volumes with an extensive set of shape query and construction tools. VSLib™ VSLib™
Provides deformable modeling as part of a library using the constrained optimization techniques of the calculus of variations. The library supports several very different geometric operations. SDLib™ SDLib™
Subdivision surface source code library that creates and modifies complex shapes with hierarchical Catmull-Clark surfaces. PolyMLib™ PolyMLib™
Polygonal based geometric modeling to repair, optimize, review and edit triangle mesh models. Analyze surface properties, repair and optimize surface meshes. Data Translators Data Translators
NURBS based geometry translators to interface between Nlib™, GSNLib™, TSNLib™, SMLib™ and IGES, STEP, SAT, VDAFS, OpenNURBS, and Parasolid XT. |

PolyMLib™ - A Triangular Mesh Library |
|
PolyMLib™ is a stand-alone, object oriented library that provides a set of objects and corresponding methods to repair, optimize, edit, and analyze triangle mesh models. PolyMLib™ is well suited to post-process triangular meshes emerging from a tessellator or from a 3D scanning process. These meshes often contain topological inconsistencies, geometric artifacts, degenerate triangles, disproportioned triangles, and/or unnecessary complexity. PolyMLib™ can be used to repair, smooth, reduce, and/or optimize surface meshes. This document and this slideshow describe many features found in PolyMLib™. This short video demonstrates some of the editing features of PolyMLib™. |
