OpenGL Evolution Over recent years, OpenGL has tremendously evolved and a significant change occurred in the year 2003. With its new programmable pipeline (OpenGL 2.0), it allows you to have direct access to the GPU and these programs are...
Have you used the Autodesk FORGE Viewer before? If you have, you must be amazed by its ability to render model data in a browser. For those, who do not know about Autodesk FORGE viewer, let us introduce it...
Vocab Before we dive into the topic, let me introduce some terms frequently used in this article. Component A 2D representation of a mechanical or electric equipment. For example – Transformers, Power generation units, Fuel storage, Water tank, Cooling...
Does anyone recall struggling with math problems in high-school? We are talking specifically about the problems in coordinate geometry, where you need to solve a set of equations for a curve in order to find tangents, intersections etc. There...
Machine learning (ML) techniques are now widely being used in almost all areas of application. Six months back, CCTech Research started investigating how we may use ML in the area of Design of Mechanical Systems. One of the key application we...
We wanted to bring developers across different departments together and give them a platform to realize their own fresh ideas. It’s been demanded for a very long time by our developers (I think all of them wanted to showcase...
As a computational geometry developer I have worked on several meshing software development projects. Every time mesh quality has become focal point. As matter of fact this becomes conflicting topic between the various teams due to the difference of...
For any CAD developer who is developing interactive CAD application one of the important topic of interest is Selection or Picking. However this topic is not discussed in detailed in most of the OpenGL resources. I hope this article...
OpenGL computes surface shading by evaluating lighting equations at polygon vertices. The most general form of the lighting equation uses both the vertex position and a vector that is normal to the object’s surface at that position; this is...
AutoCAD Electrical is a vertical application developed by Autodesk on the top of AutoCAD for electrical, electronics, and mechtronics industry. AutoCAD Electrical provides with more than 2,000 schematic symbols. A simple, icon-menu-driven system for inserting electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and...
