17:03.10AllenHarveyIs anyone here familair with the EVA-3D material table files used with some BRL-CAD modeling?
17:03.34AllenHarveyI am trying to determine what 3 of the 9 fields in the table represent
17:03.55AllenHarveyso that I can create my own materials for use with another program, MEVA
17:04.18AllenHarveyI was trying to track down an MGED document that supposedly detailed that information
17:05.55brlcadeva-3d.. hmm
17:07.24brlcadi'm not familiar with eva-3d, do you have a context?
17:07.34brlcadbrl-cad has it's own material files, but the format is pretty simple
17:08.07brlcadi do know where most of the mged docs are, though ;)
17:08.26AllenHarveyargh
17:08.45AllenHarveyeva-3d uses the same files as MEVA
17:08.51brlcadahh
17:09.01brlcadwould you happen to have a link for eva-3d?
17:09.07AllenHarveynothing
17:09.11brlcadfamiliar with meva
17:09.14AllenHarveyhere's an example of an entry in teh table:
17:09.31AllenHarvey500150.05000.00.05.0Concrete3.0e70.92.43e7
17:09.40AllenHarveyoops, it didn't accept my tabs
17:09.54AllenHarvey500  150.0  5000.0  0.0  5.0  Concrete  3.0e7  0.9   2.43e7
17:10.02brlcad3no matter, i see the columns :)
17:10.26brlcadlet me see what I can find out.. gimme a sec
17:10.39AllenHarveyi am fairly certain I have the names of the first 6 columns (up until the name)
17:11.14brlcadone of those is probably a density and a youngs modulus
17:11.27AllenHarveythe 2nd column is density in lbs/feet
17:11.36brlcadahh
17:11.42brlcadnot used to seeing them in those units :)
17:11.52AllenHarveyi prefer SI
17:12.02AllenHarveybut MEVA prefers english units
17:12.11AllenHarveythe first column is an ID
17:12.26AllenHarvey2nd is Density
17:12.36AllenHarvey3rd is compressive strength (psi)
17:12.55AllenHarvey4th is the S-Number for soil (0 for materials other than soil)
17:13.03AllenHarvey5th is the percent rebar
17:13.09AllenHarvey6th is the name
17:13.21AllenHarveyI deduced those from the MEVA user's manual
17:13.30AllenHarveybut there is no reference to the last 3 columns
17:18.51brlcadhmm.. if it has compressive strength, then steel yield strength should be another (usually go together)
17:19.20AllenHarveythat column means steel yield strength when defining steel
17:20.55brlcadcept they are separate values, e.g. 10MPa compressive and 295 MPa steel yield for concrete or therebouts
17:22.48brlcadwhat led you to there being an mged document that details it?  I'm not seeing anything in the historic docs and know it's not in the new docs
17:23.16AllenHarveythe reference section of the MEVA user's manual
17:23.27brlcaddoes it say which document?
17:23.32AllenHarveyit says that information on EVA-3D material tables are from it
17:23.36AllenHarveyyes, one moment
17:24.26AllenHarveyMGED User’s Manual, Advanced Computing Systems, U.S., Army Research Laboratory, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, December 1991.
17:24.59AllenHarveyi may have found that document (uncertain if I did), but there was no mention of EVA-3D in the document I found
17:25.15brlcadthat would be one of the big old green books, lemme go grab one
17:26.04AllenHarveyI believe the document I found on the web was really made in 1988, although the link claimed 1991
17:40.14brlcadback
17:40.31AllenHarveyas am I
17:40.33brlcadheh, eek, that would have been good to know before i wandered off.. :)
17:40.37AllenHarveydid you have any luck?
17:40.42brlcadnothing in the 91' books
17:40.44AllenHarveyi was here all the time
17:40.58AllenHarveybut continuing my search
17:41.12brlcadi didn't look into the 88 books..
17:41.23AllenHarveyi wouldn't bother searching those
17:42.09brlcadit's not clear what even the old books would have said
17:42.20AllenHarveyI understand
17:42.29brlcadbrl-cad only deals with a material code, the density, and perhaps line of sight
17:42.44AllenHarveysome place along the line there must have been a source to flat out say what the columns in the table represented
17:42.54AllenHarveyThat's what I thought
17:43.26AllenHarveythis table file i'm working with maps the material code defined in the brlcad model to another material
17:43.59brlcadright, the .g just has a code/id .. that gets used by apps in different ways
17:44.12AllenHarveyyep
17:44.37CIA-5BRL-CAD: 03twingy * 10brlcad/src/adrt/ (7 files in 5 dirs): (log message trimmed)
17:44.37CIA-5BRL-CAD: * Fixed the rendering weirdness on the slave start-up
17:44.37CIA-5BRL-CAD:  Slaves were requesting a work unit right after prep begins
17:44.37CIA-5BRL-CAD:  so that slaves were holding onto a work unit for a lengthy time
17:44.37CIA-5BRL-CAD:  until prep finished and causing the units to not get done until
17:44.38CIA-5BRL-CAD:  prep finished.
17:44.40AllenHarveyI only asked here about this file because the reference claimed it used information from an MGED manual
17:44.40CIA-5BRL-CAD: * Added compute nodes status to observer.
17:45.41AllenHarveyI appreciate your time and help trying to track down this information
18:07.35CIA-5BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: lee added g_qa geometry quality analysis tool; justin added adrt interactive shot selection tool -- need write-up for both
18:31.06prasad_meva is oss?
18:31.20brlcadno
18:31.33CIA-5BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/NEWS: include a writeup for isst and g_qa
18:31.42prasad_who's allenharvey?
18:31.47brlcadallen's been here several times before
18:31.53prasad_ah
18:32.15brlcada guy that needs to use meva, but has no other means for meva support ;)
18:32.45brlcadtried to get meva using v7, but meva was doing something "bad" ..
18:33.02brlcader, tried through allen .. still have to try it myself at some point
18:33.07prasad_bill asked me to get it compiling on the opteron
18:33.22prasad_code was pre-ansi-std c++
18:33.24brlcadthough the meva devs made it sound like it was getting completely sucked into the end game framework
18:33.47prasad_yes, hence why bill wanted it updated
18:33.49brlcadi'm supposed to get the egf sometime soon here
18:34.00prasad_i assume the binaries, not code
18:34.26prasad_iirc DA isn't getting the src
18:34.35prasad_*shouldn't be
18:34.41prasad_perhaps, policy has changed
18:35.27brlcadno, the whole shebang
18:35.37prasad_interesting
18:35.51prasad_afrl gave in it would seem
18:35.53prasad_-it
18:35.59prasad_er nm
18:36.43brlcadeither that or this particular dev could have not given a flying sh..
18:36.54prasad_heh
18:37.39prasad_so whats the movie next week
18:38.02prasad_since craptastic is playing now
18:46.04brlcadheh
