VTK Import for Alibre Design is a Visualization Toolkit (
VTK) file import add-on for
Alibre Design. This add-on gives
Alibre Design the ability to import geometric data from ASCII and Binary
VTK files.
VTK Import for Alibre Design reads polygon mesh data stored in
VTK files and imports it into
Alibre Design. A polygon mesh in a
VTK file is comprised of a set of triangular or quad faces.
VTK Import for Alibre Design creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle/quad and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then
VTK Import for Alibre Design will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.
VTK Import for Alibre Design is very easy to use. It adds new commands to
Alibre Design. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into
Alibre Design and adds a new submenu called "VTKImport" to the
Alibre Design menu containing these new commands.
