GeomSS (Geometry Scripting System) is an open source and free geometry modeling and scripting system written in Java.
GeomSS uses the BeanShell scripting language to allow the user to write scripts which can create and analyze complex geometries. This is especially important for geometry modeling tasks that must be repeated over and over with small or parametric variations.
GeomSS is not an interactive CAD program. You can`t "draw" things using the mouse, etc. Rather, it is a geometry programming language. It is designed with aerospace applications in mind, but can find uses in many other applications.
To use the GeomSS program well, you need a programming mind-set. There is very little interactivity with the GUI. Most of your interactions with GeomSS are through the scripting interface.
GeomSS is a flexible and versatile program. However, with much flexibility comes much complexity!
Requirements:
· Java 1.5 or later
· Java3D 1.5 or later
What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Corrected a long-standing error with zooming which caused the geometry to not be displayed in some circumstances. The zoom method has been changed from moving the camera closer or farther away from the model to leaving the camera fixed and scaling the model up or down in the virtual world with a uniform scaling factor.
· Added the ability to display the geometry with a perspective transformation (default) or parallel (isometric) projection transformation.
· Fixed a bug that prevented opening of files when all windows were closed on MacOS X.
