Hello,

What is (or are) the best 3D graphic library to use whith Intel Visual Fortran ?

Thanks for your answers.

"Best" can be more a function of what you want to do, rather than than the intrinsic merits of a particular library. Could you briefly describe your project and what type of 3D view you'd like to see?

Have you taken a look at the Intel Array Visualizer (which is included with IVF)? There's a separate forum for Array Visualizer questions.

Hello,

I must write a program of finite element structure with 3Dvisualization in particular to made rotation in real time, zoom, hiiden view...

It sounds a lotlike a recent (quite long) thread in the AV forum. See: http://softwareforums.intel.com/ids/board/message?board.id=Visualizer&message.id=131&page=1.

The other questions are, of course "What's your budget?" and "Is there any 3D graphics software already on your system?"

If the answers to both are "none", AV is likely your best choice. If there is a 3D CAD system available, the most practical technique may be to write a file to be read by it. A 3D CAD system will have everything you would want for rotation, zooming, hidden line removal, various shadings, etc.

Of course, you can also hunt around for places like Analytical Methods, Inc (google for "VSAERO") or the CFD online site ( http://www.cfd-online.com/Links/soft.html#vis ). If AV isn't sufficient, I'd look at the CFD online site.
