Abstract:
A 3-D modeling method, taken advantage of VTK, combined with C#, was proposed to solve the 3-D visualizing problem of steel structure bridges. Data expression of VTK was researched, geometric transformations of model such as stretching, rotation were implemented through VTK and quaternion algorithm. Experiment showed it was practical to implement 3-D model building via VTK. In addition, the visualization platform was with portability and expansibility, finite analysis for model was available with underlying data.
