Environ: a visualization system aimed at massive CAD models

Environ (ENvironment for VIRtual Objects Navigation) is an application motivated by the demand to visualize large industrial engineering models coming from CAD tools. Environ main goal is to offer 3D visualization resources with enough realism to be used for virtual prototyping, design review, change management systems, training, among other activities, being used from desktops to immersive VR projection facilities. In this video we are going to see massive models coming from Bentley MicroStation and highly textured models produced by Autodesk 3DStudio Max. Environ improves realism adding sky effects, dynamic oceans and real terrains in the virtual environment. It is also possible to incorporate some simulation resources like dynamic analyses of risers, used to carry oil and gas from sub sea oil wells to the oil platforms and computational fluid dynamics, used for example, to check gas dispersion in hazard sites.
