hi. i will be building a finite element mesh generator. i plan to use a solid modeler as a pre-processor. my program will then discretize the geometries created by the solid modeler for use in finite element analysis. my question is this. what solid modelers (commercial or otherwise) are available that work on sun sparcs? what are their capabilities? anyone prefer a specific modeler? is there a standard format(s) for solids. any info will be appreciated and i'll summarize the responses. is there a more appropriate newsgroup to post this to. thanks! arthur (ajb@ee.wpi.edu)
