This application is not for the neophyte, this application is about solids modeling. In its simplest form this application will take user inputs and construct 3-D models with startling results. But this application models the entire volume, not just the surface, not just the connections, not just the visual aspects. This application models the entire physical characteristics of the solids, and can be used as a powerful graphics program, a modeler of collision physics, and electromagnetic phenomenon. This application is oriented towards engineers and scientists so I have not brought this to my blog until now. But Look at these wonderful images, particularly look at the reflecting spheres near the bottom. At long last this application was ported to Windows. The main Web page is located here. Now this application was originally written in UNIX, but has been ported to Windows, so there is a command line as well as the GUI, but that should not be a problem for the caliber of individuals that will be using this application.

So if you need some CAD that goes beyond the surface, and are willing to work at it, then this application is for you. If you want to be spoon fed, and need this kind of developmental work, then find someone who can use this application. Because there is no application like it, and if you don’t believe me then just look through the documentation.
