3D Visualization

Assessment of geometries is handy through result tables and graphical displays. However, it is an unbeaten asset to visualize designs. The graphical user interface of the FRIENDSHIP-Framework allows you to have a closer look at your designs. 

For a realistic impression of the designs the FRIENDSHIP-Framework 2.0 now employs a skybox technique, i.e., a  background creation with sky, water and scalable wave patterns. This technique supplies the designer with impressive pictures and animations to show and demonstrate the design to the client. Furthermore, clipping planes or clipping cubes, i.e., a 3D visualization of all objects in a defined cube or space, are introduced to facilitate a finer graphical and formal assessment of the designed geometry. What is more, dimensioning, i.e.,  measuring and displaying distances between two points within a model is straightforward: simply define the desired space by selecting points and the FRIENDSHIP-Framework will render and display the corresponding information.
Next to the finer and easier access to the geometry's qualities a range of additional assets comforts the designer in handling the  engineering software. Varying and manipulating designs is easy through a) the application of different surface materials, b) labeling objects, i.e., tagging a description or note to the model or parts of it, and c) picture frames. Picture frames support the use and integration of pictures into a scene. Here, pictures can serve not only as illustration but also as background information for re-engineering. This helps you to develop a model from an example or from an older baseline of say a scanned lines plan. The visualization technology of the FRIENDSHIP-Framework facilitates, in addition, timed animations and user-defined camera movements such as rotations and aerial shots. Through these, realistic settings of your design are easily imaged. The visualization of curvature for curves and surfaces helps you to assess your geometry. Examples of which are Isophotes, Gauss and Mean curvature.

Visualization technology within the FRIENDSHIP-Framework means getting closer to your design—for better quality assessment and better performance.
