2.1.  What You Must Know about MeshViz XLM:

MeshViz XLM is a library that extends Open Inventor. MeshViz XLM consists of two components named MeshViz Interface and MeshViz. MeshViz contains 3DdataMaster and GraphMaster.

MeshViz XLM
  • MeshViz Interface

    • Mesh Extraction

    • Data Mapping

  • MeshViz

    • 3DdataMaster

    • GraphMaster

The first component, MeshViz Interface, is a C++ API useful for extracting and visualizing features from meshes used in scientific visualization, finite element analysis (FEA) and computer aided engineering (CAE). MeshViz Interface contains two separate parts: Mesh Extraction and Data Mapping.

[Important]

MeshViz XLM is a separately licensed extension. You must have a MeshViz XLM license string in addition to your Open Inventor license string.

The MeshViz XLM license unlocks both MeshViz and MeshViz Interface extensions.

The second component, MeshViz contains two parts:

MeshViz Interface is described in the first part of this chapter. 3DdataMaster and GraphMaster are described in a second part because they were designed at the same time and thus share many common points.

[Important]

MeshViz was named 3D-MasterSuiteprior to Open Inventor 3.1.1, and DataViz prior to Open Inventor 5.0.
