VTK Export for SpaceClaim 1.0

VTK Export for SpaceClaim 1.0 is designed as a professional program that can allow you toexport geometric data from SpaceClaim to ASCII and Binary VTK files. VTK Export for SpaceClaim tessellates solid bodies in a SpaceClaim document into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to a VTK file as mesh objects. The VTK file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications.

Installation & Usage:

Since VTK Export for SpaceClaim is a add-in for SpaceClaim, it must be loaded into the SpaceClaim environment before it can be used. Please follow the simple instructions in the VTK Export for SpaceClaim ReadMe document which is copied into the installation folder. After you have loaded the add-in file into SpaceClaim, simply click on the ribbon bar in SpaceClaim called "SYCODE" to run these new commands. Truly, software made simple!

The 'SYCODE' ribbon bar consists of the following commands:

• Export - Export to a VTK file
• Help - Display the VTK Export for SpaceClaim help file
• Register - Register your copy of VTK Export for SpaceClaim
• About - Display the VTK Export for SpaceClaim About box

The VTK File Format:

The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is an open source, freely available software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization used by thousands of researchers and developers around the world. VTK consists of a C++ class library, and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. The Toolkit stores geometric data in a file format known as VTK. Very few CAD applications have the ability to read and write VTK files.

Major Features:

1. VTK Export for SpaceClaim tessellates solid bodies in a SpaceClaim document into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to a VTK file as mesh objects.
2. The VTK file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications.
3. VTK Export for SpaceClaim is very easy to use.
4. It adds new commands to SpaceClaim. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into SpaceClaim and adds a ribbon bar to the SpaceClaim called "SYCODE" containing the newly added commands.
