VTK Export for Inventor - Vizualization Toolkit VTK file export add-in for Inventor


VTK Export for Inventor is a Visualization Toolkit (.vtk) file export add-in for Inventor. This add-in gives Inventor the ability to export geometric data from Inventor to ASCII and Binary VTK files.

VTK Export for Inventor tessellates solid bodies in a Inventor document into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to a VTK file as mesh objects. The VTK file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications.

VTK Export for Inventor is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Inventor and adds a new ribbon bar to the Inventor user interface called "Add-Ins" containing the newly added commands.

VTK Export for Inventor comes with detailed documentation as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.

The VTK File Format

The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is an open source, freely available software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization used by thousands of researchers and developers around the world. VTK consists of a C++ class library, and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. The Toolkit stores geometric data in a file format known as VTK. Very few CAD applications have the ability to read and write VTK files.
