21:43.10 sjn_ brlcad seems like a well-developed cad system, though it seems different from many cad programs I've seen (catia, solid works, autocad, inventor, etc). I'm pretty new to the cad world, and I thought I'd try working with brlcad before becoming biased due to the pervasiveness of these other commercial solutions. I sort of assume people use brlcad for more than military vehicles and related things. If I'm interested in designing a house, a w
21:43.10 sjn_ ashing machine, or a pinball machine, does this seem reasonable (which is different from possible) to use brlcad to do?
21:44.47 sjn_ What capabilities are there in terms of simulations? I read something quickly about using different kinds of materials for models of things that need to be able to absorb firepower. Is there a full physics simulator included in this package?

22:22.19 Notify 03BRL-CAD:r_weiss * 54465 brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/mged/lc.tcl: Update to mged 'lc' command to prevent the display from hanging for large lists.
22:40.20 brlcad all websites are now migrated (config-wise, there are still two that have to update dns)
22:40.58 brlcad sjn_: sure it's reasonable, but you have to consider what your goals are too
22:41.46 brlcad we're expanding functionality towards supporting a lot of the same functionality of the commercial systems, but you're right -- our historic approach is very different
22:42.13 brlcad because our products (renderings and models being fed to custom analyses) are different
22:42.23 *** part/#brlcad mrlukeparry (~mrlparry@137.205.138.38)
22:43.28 brlcad if you want to model your house or some machine, brl-cad will be good for that by itself and you'll be able to get some fantastic pictures/visualizations or calculate estimated weights, etc
22:43.48 brlcad if you want blueprints, though, that's currently a weakness that we're working on
22:44.32 sjn_ is brlcad still funded through the Army?
22:44.49 sjn_ (US Army)
22:44.49 brlcad we only provide basic geometric simulators (first order physics/dynamics) and calculating geometric properties (like mass/weight, moments of inertia, centroids, etc) .. the intense simulators are not open source
22:44.53 brlcad yep
22:45.06 brlcad will be for the indefinite forseeable future
22:46.41 sjn_ Thanks. Who sets the priorities of what you guys are developing at any point in time?
