I got this off of the BRL-CAD list. SURVIAC will be offering its introductory BRL-CAD training course in February 2002: COURSE | DATES BRL-CAD : Construction, Interrogation, and Imaging | Feb 19 - 21 BRL-CAD, Construction, Interrogation, and Imaging, is a three-day course that provides an introduction to the basic elements of the BRL-CAD package. Students will use the solid modeling editor, MGED, and the associated techniques used for constructing geometric models. The course presents the techniques for combining basic BRL-CAD shapes (such as spheres, cylinders, and boxes) to define the models. Once a basic geometry is constructed, the course proceeds to programs used to evaluate the models. These programs are used to validate the geometry, provide line-of-sight data, and create report- and/or demonstration-ready images. Finally, a short review of CAD conversion programs distributed with the BRLCAD suite is presented. Advanced courses and onsite training are available upon request to address in-depth BRL-CAD topics and specific student requirements. For additional information on the training courses, contact Angela Torsani at the SURVIAC Aberdeen Satellite Office via the routes provided below. ****************************************** SURVIAC ABERDEEN SATELLITE OFFICE ****************************************** The DoD-sponsored Survivability/Vulnerability Information Analysis Center (SURVIAC) Aberdeen Satellite Office (ASO), located adjacent to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, provides full service distribution and support for the BRL-CAD model for a $500 fee. This includes the initial distribution of the model, installation support, maintenance release updates, technical support, and future activities information. Training courses are also offered periodically each year. SURVIAC provides the DoD community with a one-stop resource for all aspects of nonnuclear survivability, lethality, and mission effectiveness, which includes dissemination of information and models to support this community. **************************************************************** SURVIAC Aberdeen Satellite Office Phone: (410) 273-7794 4695 Millennium Drive FAX: (410) 272-6763 Belcamp, MD 21017 E-mail: angela@xxxxxxxxxxx **************************************************************** ===== phrostie Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of DOS and danced the skies on Linux silvered wings. http://pfrostie.freeservers.com/cad-tastrafy/ //www.freelists.org/webpage/cad-linux/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
