Model Tab: 3D Geometry Display

Overview:

vaporgui can display geometric models described by many 3D model scene files, such as the windmill shown below, using the Model tab. The supported model file formats are those supported by the ASSIMP library.  The coordinate system used for the model file is the same as the user coordinates in the VDC file. If needed, the scene may be translated, rotated, or scaled as necessary by applying appropriate geometric transformations. In the simple case, when a single model file is used for each time step, it may be possible to specify the transformation within the Model tab itself. For more complicated scenes, a .vms file may be used to define a set of transformations.

Example data and session files (for the Windmill model) are available from the Examples page.
