Field Precision software tips

We are releasing updates of all programs in our catalog through the month of October. We have made improvements to all packages with major changes to the TriComp (2D) programs. The new version numbers are TriComp 7.0, AMaze 3.1 and GamBet 2.2.

The following general improvements apply to all packages:

We added bitmap buffering for displays in all [...]

The generation of attractive and accurate three-dimensional views of meshes, particle orbits and calculated quantities was a challenge in creating 3D finite-element programs in our AMaze series. The standard approach to 3D graphics is to use a library like OpenGL where surfaces are approximated with the the minimum number of facets that provide a psychologically-satisfying sense [...]

Plotting is critical to understand meshes and field solutions in three-dimensional spaces. In consequence, we have included a wide variety of options for creating plots in MetaMesh and the analysis programs PhiView, MagView, HWV, RFE3View and Aerial. For example, the following information is neede to create a 3D view of a mesh:

Parameters of the point of [...]

We’re making some major advances in the graphics capabilities of programs in the 3D AMaze series. We expect to release updates in the early Fall.  The improvements lie in three areas:

Saved views
It takes effort and experimentation to set up optimal 2D or 3D views in postprocessors like PhiView and MagView. We are adding an option to [...]
