This section shows the meshes associated with the project/scenario that have been generated by using the features included in the module of Iota or imported from mesh files generated by some piece of CAD software. The "Meshes" accordion shows the following information per mesh (see ):

  • Name: name provided by the user to indentify the mesh.

  • Type: format of the mesh (stl, p4s, ply, obj, ...).

  • Filename: name of the file that contains the mesh data.

  • Scenario: name of the scenario if the mesh is associated with a scenario.

  • Modfied: latest modification date of the mesh.

Figure 10 - "Meshes" section at "Project" page

Users can import meshes into the project by clicking on the Import button located at the right corner of accordion (see ). A pop-up window will be shown so the user can enter the following fields for the mesh:

  • Name (optional): a name for the mesh.

  • Description (optional): a description for the mesh.

  • Scenario (optional): the mesh can be associated with an existing project scenario.

  • Choose file: the button located at the bottom opens a file browser window that allows users to select the mesh file to be imported.

The following mesh formats can be imported into Iota:

  • Stereolithography Format (.stl)

  • GiD Ascii format (.msh)

  • Wavefront OBJ (.obj)

  • Stanford Polygon Library (.ply)

  • Particle Analytics mesh format P4S (.meta)

Clicking on the Edit button launches a window where the user can rename the mesh.

Clicking on the Delete button launches a window prompting the user to confirm deletion.
