GeomSS Description

Java based geometry modeling and scripting system GeomSS (Geometry Scripting System) is an open source and free geometry modeling and scripting system written in Java. GeomSS uses the BeanShell scripting language to allow the user to write scripts which can create and analyze complex geometries. This is especially important for geometry modeling tasks that must be repeated over and over with small or parametric variations.GeomSS is not an interactive CAD program. You can't "draw" things using the mouse, etc. Rather, it is a geometry programming language. It is designed with aerospace applications in mind, but can find uses in many other applications. To use the GeomSS program well, you need a programming mind-set. There is very little interactivity with the GUI. Most of your interactions with GeomSS are through the scripting interface.GeomSS is a flexible and versatile program. However, with much flexibility comes much complexity! Requirements: · Java 1.5 or later · Java3D 1.5 or later What's New in This Release: · Added the ability to find the closest and farthest point on a surface to a specified point or array (list of lists) of points. · Added methods for finding the closest/farthest point on a curve for each point in a list of points. · Added methods for finding closest and farthest points on a curve or surface that are near the specified parametric position (allowing the user to identify the particular local minima to be returned). · Corrected errors in the calculation of curve arc length, surface area and surface enclosed volume that greatly increased the accuracy of these methods. · Improved type safety of the various geometry lists (so that you can't add a PointArray to a PointString for instance).
