推荐开源项目:BRL-CAD - 强大的三维几何建模系统

项目介绍

BRL-CAD 是一款功能强大的跨平台开源组合实体建模系统,它包括一个交互式3D实体几何编辑器、支持并行处理的高性能光线追踪器、图像和信号处理工具、性能基准测试套件、灵活的几何脚本接口,以及高性能几何表示和分析库。自1979年以来,它一直被用于各种军事和工业应用中,并持续进行着活跃的开发。

项目技术分析

BRL-CAD 支持多种几何表示形式,包括传统的CSG隐式体(如盒子、椭球、圆锥和圆环)、闭合集合的U-BSP表面、非均匀有理B样条(NURBS)曲面、n维流形几何(NMG)以及纯网格几何。通过布尔集论运算(如联合、交集和差集),这些几何对象可以进行组合。此外,项目使用CMake构建,可以轻松适应不同的操作系统环境。

编译与安装

编译BRL-CAD推荐使用最新版的CMake和现代编译器,只需几个简单步骤即可完成安装:

tar -xvzf brlcad-VERSION.tar.gz
mkdir brlcad-VERSION/build
cd brlcad-VERSION/build
cmake .. -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_STRICT=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j4
make install

性能验证

成功编译后,可通过运行BRL-CAD基准测试验证基本功能:

make benchmark

这将提供一个性能概述,帮助您了解您的系统相对于VAX 11/780的性能。

Volume I – Overview and Installation Since 1979, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory has been developing and distributing the BRL-CAD constructive solid geometry (CSG) modeling package for a wide range of military and industrial applications. The package includes a large collection of tools and utilities including an interactive geometry editor, raytracing and generic framebuffer libraries, a network-distributed image- processing and signal-processing capability, and an embedded scripting language. As part of this effort, a multivolume tutorial series is being developed to assist users in the many features of the BRL-CAD package. The “Overview and Installation” guide, which is the first volume in the series, addresses the background, purpose, and strengths of the package; the libraries and utilities included within it; platform-specific installation instructions; and information about bugs and updates. Other volumes focus on advanced features, individual utilities, and programming. Volume II – Introduction to MGED As part of this effort, a multivolume tutorial series is being developed to assist users in the many features of the BRL-CAD package. The “Introduction to MGED,” which is the second volume in the series, is intended to provide new users with a basic understanding of the Multi-Device Geometry Editor (MGED), which is the heart of BRL-CAD. Other volumes focus on installation procedures, advanced features, and programming. Volume III – Principles of Effective Modeling As part of this effort, a multivolume tutorial series is being developed to assist users in the many features of the BRL-CAD package. “Principles of Effective Modeling,” which is the third volume in the series, addresses the modeling process and suggests principles and techniques for maximizing BRL-CAD’s capabilities. Other volumes focus on package installation and specific features and utilities within the software package. Volume IV – Converting Geometry Between BRL-CAD and Other Formats As part of this effort, a multivolume tutorial series is being developed to assist users in the many features of the BRL-CAD package. “Converting Geometry Between BRL-CAD and Other Formats,” which is the fourth volume in the series, discusses pertinent characteristics of the BRL-CAD file format and provides specific instruction on converting to/from various other modeling file formats. Also discussed are the steps involved in creating a new BRL-CAD converter and postconversion issues.
