17:03.10 AllenHarvey Is anyone here familair with the EVA-3D material table files used with some BRL-CAD modeling?
17:03.34 AllenHarvey I am trying to determine what 3 of the 9 fields in the table represent
17:03.55 AllenHarvey so that I can create my own materials for use with another program, MEVA
17:04.18 AllenHarvey I was trying to track down an MGED document that supposedly detailed that information
17:05.55 brlcad eva-3d.. hmm
17:07.24 brlcad i'm not familiar with eva-3d, do you have a context?
17:07.34 brlcad brl-cad has it's own material files, but the format is pretty simple
17:08.07 brlcad i do know where most of the mged docs are, though ;)
17:08.26 AllenHarvey argh
17:08.45 AllenHarvey eva-3d uses the same files as MEVA
17:08.51 brlcad ahh
17:09.01 brlcad would you happen to have a link for eva-3d?
17:09.07 AllenHarvey nothing
17:09.11 brlcad familiar with meva
17:09.14 AllenHarvey here's an example of an entry in teh table:
17:09.31 AllenHarvey 500150.05000.00.05.0Concrete3.0e70.92.43e7
17:09.40 AllenHarvey oops, it didn't accept my tabs
17:09.54 AllenHarvey 500 150.0 5000.0 0.0 5.0 Concrete 3.0e7 0.9 2.43e7
17:10.02 brlcad 3no matter, i see the columns :)
17:10.26 brlcad let me see what I can find out.. gimme a sec
17:10.39 AllenHarvey i am fairly certain I have the names of the first 6 columns (up until the name)
17:11.14 brlcad one of those is probably a density and a youngs modulus
17:11.27 AllenHarvey the 2nd column is density in lbs/feet
17:11.36 brlcad ahh
17:11.42 brlcad not used to seeing them in those units :)
17:11.52 AllenHarvey i prefer SI
17:12.02 AllenHarvey but MEVA prefers english units
17:12.11 AllenHarvey the first column is an ID
17:12.26 AllenHarvey 2nd is Density
17:12.36 AllenHarvey 3rd is compressive strength (psi)
17:12.55 AllenHarvey 4th is the S-Number for soil (0 for materials other than soil)
17:13.03 AllenHarvey 5th is the percent rebar
17:13.09 AllenHarvey 6th is the name
17:13.21 AllenHarvey I deduced those from the MEVA user's manual
17:13.30 AllenHarvey but there is no reference to the last 3 columns
17:18.51 brlcad hmm.. if it has compressive strength, then steel yield strength should be another (usually go together)
17:19.20 AllenHarvey that column means steel yield strength when defining steel
17:20.55 brlcad cept they are separate values, e.g. 10MPa compressive and 295 MPa steel yield for concrete or therebouts
17:22.48 brlcad what led you to there being an mged document that details it? I'm not seeing anything in the historic docs and know it's not in the new docs
17:23.16 AllenHarvey the reference section of the MEVA user's manual
17:23.27 brlcad does it say which document?
17:23.32 AllenHarvey it says that information on EVA-3D material tables are from it
17:23.36 AllenHarvey yes, one moment
17:24.26 AllenHarvey MGED User's Manual, Advanced Computing Systems, U.S., Army Research Laboratory, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, December 1991.
17:24.59 AllenHarvey i may have found that document (uncertain if I did), but there was no mention of EVA-3D in the document I found
17:25.15 brlcad that would be one of the big old green books, lemme go grab one
17:26.04 AllenHarvey I believe the document I found on the web was really made in 1988, although the link claimed 1991
17:40.14 brlcad back
17:40.31 AllenHarvey as am I
17:40.33 brlcad heh, eek, that would have been good to know before i wandered off.. :)
17:40.37 AllenHarvey did you have any luck?
17:40.42 brlcad nothing in the 91' books
17:40.44 AllenHarvey i was here all the time
17:40.58 AllenHarvey but continuing my search
17:41.12 brlcad i didn't look into the 88 books..
17:41.23 AllenHarvey i wouldn't bother searching those
17:42.09 brlcad it's not clear what even the old books would have said
17:42.20 AllenHarvey I understand
17:42.29 brlcad brl-cad only deals with a material code, the density, and perhaps line of sight
17:42.44 AllenHarvey some place along the line there must have been a source to flat out say what the columns in the table represented
17:42.54 AllenHarvey That's what I thought
17:43.26 AllenHarvey this table file i'm working with maps the material code defined in the brlcad model to another material
17:43.59 brlcad right, the .g just has a code/id .. that gets used by apps in different ways
17:44.12 AllenHarvey yep
17:44.37 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03twingy * 10brlcad/src/adrt/ (7 files in 5 dirs): (log message trimmed)
17:44.37 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: * Fixed the rendering weirdness on the slave start-up
17:44.37 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: Slaves were requesting a work unit right after prep begins
17:44.37 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: so that slaves were holding onto a work unit for a lengthy time
17:44.37 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: until prep finished and causing the units to not get done until
17:44.38 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: prep finished.
17:44.40 AllenHarvey I only asked here about this file because the reference claimed it used information from an MGED manual
17:44.40 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: * Added compute nodes status to observer.
17:45.41 AllenHarvey I appreciate your time and help trying to track down this information
18:07.35 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: lee added g_qa geometry quality analysis tool; justin added adrt interactive shot selection tool -- need write-up for both
18:31.06 prasad_ meva is oss?
18:31.20 brlcad no
18:31.33 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: include a writeup for isst and g_qa
18:31.42 prasad_ who's allenharvey?
18:31.47 brlcad allen's been here several times before
18:31.53 prasad_ ah
18:32.15 brlcad a guy that needs to use meva, but has no other means for meva support ;)
18:32.45 brlcad tried to get meva using v7, but meva was doing something "bad" ..
18:33.02 brlcad er, tried through allen .. still have to try it myself at some point
18:33.07 prasad_ bill asked me to get it compiling on the opteron
18:33.22 prasad_ code was pre-ansi-std c++
18:33.24 brlcad though the meva devs made it sound like it was getting completely sucked into the end game framework
18:33.47 prasad_ yes, hence why bill wanted it updated
18:33.49 brlcad i'm supposed to get the egf sometime soon here
18:34.00 prasad_ i assume the binaries, not code
18:34.26 prasad_ iirc DA isn't getting the src
18:34.35 prasad_ *shouldn't be
18:34.41 prasad_ perhaps, policy has changed
18:35.27 brlcad no, the whole shebang
18:35.37 prasad_ interesting
18:35.51 prasad_ afrl gave in it would seem
18:35.53 prasad_ -it
18:35.59 prasad_ er nm
18:36.43 brlcad either that or this particular dev could have not given a flying sh..
18:36.54 prasad_ heh
18:37.39 prasad_ so whats the movie next week
18:38.02 prasad_ since craptastic is playing now
18:46.04 brlcad heh
18:46.07 brlcad dunnos
