GLview 3D Visualization API

The GLview 3D Visualization API is a development toolkit for 3D graphics. It has particular strengths in visualizing finite element models and results, and is aimed at software developers within CAE, science and engineering sectors. Using the GLview 3D Visualization API you can easilty build your own post processing software for advanced visualization of 3D CAE models and results.

By taking advantage of the graphics capabilities in the API, the developer can focus on the physics and numerics in the particular simulation code, and let the API take care of the results presentation. The software is delivered as a fully documented object library and C++ header files.

Key features

The GLview 3D Visualization API is delivered as a fully documented object library and C++ header files for Windows and Linux platforms.
Fully featured class library tailored for creating visual applications for science and engineering.
