11:01.39 dhpeterson hi there ... anyone about to answer a quick qn?
11:02.39 dhpeterson i am wondering whether there is any integration between brlcad and a FEM/FEA tool
11:02.42 dhpeterson open source or otherwise
11:03.02 dhpeterson i am completely new to brlcad
11:11.57 clock__ what is FEM/FEA?
11:12.05 clock__ finite element analysis?
11:12.22 clock__ like calculate bending etc.?
11:18.50 dhpeterson hi
11:18.54 dhpeterson yes, finite element
11:19.11 dhpeterson stress calculation specifically, but bending or displacement also would be interesting
11:19.16 dhpeterson :)
11:23.02 clock__ what free software tools are for this?
11:24.18 dhpeterson there are a few FEA solvers
11:24.24 dhpeterson none are great
11:24.29 dhpeterson z88 looks interesting
11:24.46 dhpeterson you can integrate it with DXF (autocad) from what I understand
11:24.50 dhpeterson and brl-cad exports DXF
11:24.54 dhpeterson again, from what I understand
11:25.28 dhpeterson FElt is another free FEM solver
11:25.33 dhpeterson but it may only do 2D, not sure
11:25.38 dhpeterson z88 is 3D
11:25.58 dhpeterson I think it would be interesting to take the z88 code (GPL) and inegrate it into brlcad
11:26.05 dhpeterson or at least build a bridge
11:26.22 dhpeterson but i am talking thru my ^#% as I have not got the experience with BRL to know
11:26.45 dhpeterson ...
11:26.52 dhpeterson i must apologise, i have to go now
11:26.57 dhpeterson i will try to check back later
11:27.06 dhpeterson or i can be reached on dhpeterson@gmail.com if you wish to follow up
11:27.16 dhpeterson gtg
11:40.25 fenn yeesh z88 is 22MBG
11:40.28 fenn er 22 MB
11:42.45 fenn "kompakt und schnell" mein ass
12:48.16 learner fea integration is something being worked on, but there currently exists no such direct solving inside of brl-cad
12:48.36 learner ~x de en kompakt und schnell

23:34.10 AchiestDragon hmm , is there a bug in the raytracer or does it not do shadows ?
23:34.14 AchiestDragon http://www.whipy.demon.co.uk/snapshot6.png
23:52.01 ``Erik o.O
23:52.08 ``Erik which lighting model did you use?
23:52.44 AchiestDragon tryed it with the full and the photonmap renders same with both
23:53.00 AchiestDragon that screenshot is a full render
23:53.26 AchiestDragon just wating for another photonmap one to compleate then will take another screenshot
23:54.50 ``Erik I know I've seen m35.g throw shadows
23:55.14 ``Erik but I'm not really a brlcad user, I just kinda code on it o.O mebbe you need to define an explicit light?
23:55.22 AchiestDragon is wondering if its because the object is a single bot
23:56.06 ``Erik hrmmm
23:56.18 ``Erik try putting a box or sphere on a plane ?
23:58.21 AchiestDragon http://www.whipy.demon.co.uk/snapshot7.png
23:58.36 AchiestDragon photon maped one , still now shadows
23:59.56 AchiestDragon more concerned with shadows cast from top tracks and sprocket wheels to the lower tracks , as i have not put nay ground plane into the model
