<div>I am a new starter to VTK and Paraview; installed vtk, crated and compiled sample applications in C++ without any problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In my research I have adopted FEM code (includes Metis and Petsc
math classes) which calculates deformation on given body with respect
to given forces and produces *.vtk files which shows output of
deformation which can be seen or animated in Paraview.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now I would like to generate simple gui which shows my geometry
(simple 3d cube) and allows users to interact with it using mouse
clicks to simulate applied forces using VTK and after calculation done
(hopefully in 1/20 sc) it must show deformations results (simply vtk
files or I may use another format).
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As a summary, I would like to create GUI which supports:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- Interaction with my model</div>
<div>-Read VTK files (or something else) to produce output in 1/20 second.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>1- But I dont know where to start using VTK, is there any sample
codes for force(mouse clicks) interaction, output results using piping
etc ?</div>
<div>2- Or can I just use paraview (I can read vtk files) and my FEM
code together over such a piping mechanism using tcl/tk scripting
language in easier way ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you quide me ?<br><br></div><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/8/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">付文宇</b> <<a href="mailto:fuwenyu@emails.bjut.edu.cn">fuwenyu@emails.bjut.edu.cn</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi everyone:<br> I can get stl file from a series of slices image through moving cube<br>arithmetic. I know stl file represent a triangulation boundary of the solid. Stl<br>file is composed only of an extensive list of triangle facets. These facets are
<br>composed of the coordinates of the three vertices of the triangle,in addition to<br>the coordinates of the normal oriented to the exterior of the solid.STL<br>triangulation can not be used directly in the finite element method(FEM),mainly
<br>because it requires specific characteristics in the geometrical description of the<br>domain to be computed. I want to know whether there are suitable classes in vtk to<br>process these triangle facets or not.<br><br>
