Visualization Toolkit

Visualization Toolkit

The CAD Exchanger SDK visualization component enables creation of highly-interactive high-performance 3D CAD/CAE applications.

The visualization component provides an efficient API to create scene graph from the SDK data objects (such as ModelData_Model, sub-assemblies or individual parts, B-Rep bodies and shapes, and polygonal meshes). In addition, scene graph nodes can be created directly from user-defined data.
The visualization component provides integration with different technologies, platforms and programming languages. The component architecture allows integration with other back-ends and front-ends while keeping the user’s code virtually unchanged and really cross-platform.

A graphic card that supports OpenGL 2.1 is sufficient for correct working the graphic component of CAD Exchanger SDK. You can find supported technologies here
