immersive SIM engineering: VRML Links

VRML / X3D PlugIns and Viewers
www.parallelgraphics.com	Cortona Viewer ( highly recommended ) Mac & PDA version!!! Using the CrossOver-Plugin Software from CodeWeavers ($24.95) a Linux installation is possible
www.blaxxun.de	Blaxxun contact viewer
BS contact	Bitmanagement Software GmbH From the people who developed the Blaxxun Viewers
www.cai.com/cosmo/	the classic Cosmo-player: originally developed by SGI (and available for IRIX and Mac). Cosmo Software was taken over by Computer Associates, who sold the sourcecode license to Nexternet in 2001. No development since years.
www.nexternet.com	Pivoron Player 1.0 They bought the Cosmo sourcecode license in 2001. Seems dead, though.

OpenVRML's Lookat
www.igd.fhg.de/CP/	CASUS presenter: VRML 97 viewer for SGI IRIX, Sun Solaris, Linux and Windows (one of the few suitable for Sun and Linux, for IRIX better use Cosmo, for Windows also the ones mentioned above)
VRML as CAE/CAx exchange format
immersive SIGHT	immersive SIM engineering special postprocessor for visualisation of FE models and results using the internet suitable VRML format
immersive SIGHT conference	immersive SIM engineering multiuser-version of immersive SIGHT. Allows online discussions on FEA results
Z Corporation	Z Corporation Z Corp. 3D Printers can be used to output finite element analysis data in full color as real 3D rapid prototype. VRML is used for data exchange. (details....). Their software accepts VRML files from Ansys, Cosmos, Moldflow, Solidworks and immersive SIGHT (Abaqus and Nastran).
VRML Tools and Editors
WHITE_DUNE	dune is a graphical VRML97 editor and animationtool in development. It can read VRML97 files, display and let the user change the scenegraph, fields and routes. This can be used to make simple VRML97 animations and interactions. Dune is normally not suited to work as VRML97 3D modelling tool. It makes sense, to use it together with a static 3D modelling tool with VRML97 export (like wings3d for example).
