[aclug-L] [Fwd: BRL-CAD Training Course]

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

not sure if anyone is interested in this stuff but from time to time the
subject of cad does come up.
you can get it for free(no support) or pay $500 for full support either
way they have a good mailing list and users group.

SURVIAC will be offering its two introductory BRL-CAD training courses in October 1998:

                       COURSE                                                |   DATES
----------------------------------------------------------|-----------
 BRL-CAD 101: Construction, Interrogation, & Imaging     | Oct 6 - 7
 BRL-CAD 102: Geometry Conversion                              | Oct 8

BRL-CAD 101, Construction, Interrogation, and Imaging, is a two-day course that provides an introduction to the basic elements of the BRL-CAD package.  On the first day, students will examine the solid modeling editor, MGED, and the associated techniques used for constructing geometric models.  The course presents the techniques for combining basic BRL-CAD shapes (such as spheres, cylinders, and boxes) to define the models.  The second day of study examines programs to evaluate the models.  These programs validate the geometry and create report- and/or demonstration-ready images.  A prerequisite of this course is a familiarity with the basic UNIX operating environment and text editors.

BRL-CAD 102, Geometry Conversion, is a one-day course that presents an overview of several geometry formats and existing BRL-CAD conversion programs
designed to handle these formats.  The course includes exercises tailored to the individual students' conversion requirements.  A prerequisite of this course is a
familiarity with MGED and/or completion of the BRL-CAD 101 Course.

Advanced courses and onsite training are available upon request to address in-depth BRL-CAD topics and specific student requirements.

For additional information on the training courses, contact Sue Ellen Wojciechowski at the SURVIAC Aberdeen Satellite Office via the routes provided below.

The DoD-sponsored Survivability/Vulnerability Information Analysis
Center (SURVIAC) Aberdeen Satellite Office (ASO), located adjacent 
to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, provides full service
distribution and support for the BRL-CAD model for a $500 fee.
This includes the initial distribution of the model, installation
support, maintenance release updates, technical support, and
future activities information.  Additionally, we sponsor an annual 
BRL-CAD User's Group Meeting.  Training courses are also offered
periodically each year.
 
SURVIAC provides the DoD community with a one-stop resource for all
aspects of nonnuclear survivability, lethality, and mission
effectiveness, which includes dissemination of information and
models to support this community.
