POPLib - Polygon Optimization Library

POPLib is a subset of SOLIDS++ that is designed to give the user the ability to create polygonal meshes for trimmed surfaces, shells and solids. POPLib in combination with one of the Integrityware translators provides a sufficient core geometry engine for applications which need to view, query and analyze existing geometry.

POPLib tessellator is configured to allow the user to capture the resulting output in a format appropriate for their application. Currently POPLib supports the following output formats:

• To OpenGL with Optional Triangle Strips and Fans
• To STL Stereo Lithography files
• To Wavefront OBJ file format files
• To IntegrityWare Poly Brep Objects
• To a Mesh Structures

Benefits

• Adaptive Tolerancing used to enable robust processing models from a wide variety of originating systems.
• Powerful Sewing Tools to bring surface models together and turn them into solids or open shells.
• Tessellation Settings to give great control over mesh creation from the underlying NURBS geometry.
• "Water Tight" meshes suitable for Stereo Lithography
