Examples

The example below shows you

• the map WritePatran.net that converts a surface to Patran format and draws the same object directly from the Covise data (drawstyle: discrete mesh, to make it comparable)
• the Renderer window for the first map
• the map WritePatran1.net that reads the temporary file generated by WritePatran.net and shows the object from the Patran data
• the Renderer window for the second map
