19:53.53 ktne hello
19:54.07 ktne i've just downloaded brlcad but i can't find from where to start
19:54.20 ktne is there some kind of "main" 3d editor?
19:54.36 clock_ mged
19:54.41 ktne ok, thx
19:54.52 clock_ brlcad: this should be added in some prominent place :)
19:55.42 ktne hmm
19:55.50 learner clock_: hmm :)
19:55.52 ktne i can't find anything familiar :)
19:56.21 learner ktne: i suggest starting with the tutorials on http://brlcad.org the first and second documents
19:56.33 ktne ok. thx
19:56.43 learner one gives a basic overview of the tools and methodologies
19:56.58 ktne how does it compare with autocad?
19:57.05 learner the other is a fairly extensive series of tutorial lessons on mged
19:57.37 learner depends entirely what you're comparing, somewhat apples and oranges
19:58.05 ktne hmm
19:58.08 learner autocad is a drafting cad package, focuses on 2d, brl-cad is a solid modeling suite, more akin to unigraphics or pro/e
19:58.26 ktne i have no idea what unigraphics and pro/e are :)
19:58.55 ktne does it perform any kind of simulation?
19:59.00 ktne or just modelling?
19:59.25 learner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_modeling
19:59.34 ktne thanks
19:59.35 learner it simulates light and energy transport
19:59.55 learner traditional raytracing and path tracing
20:00.15 learner as well as thermal, computation of weights, moments of inertia, intersections etc
20:00.40 clock_ learner: intersections?
20:00.54 learner it doesn't perform vulnerability or stress analyses if that's what you're asking
20:01.46 learner clock_: overlapping regions/parts, collision detection.. i forget the pro/e term for it, we call them overlaps.. maybe "interferences"
20:02.00 learner yeah, interferences
