ObjectVolume Files

ObjectVolume

The ObjectVolume calculator is program written as a standalone java 
application and is executed at the command line in Windows, Linux 
or other supported Java environment. The ObjectVolumeTutorial 
document gives a detailed account of the approach used to determine 
the volume of a closed triangular mesh represented in an object file 
(.obj).

The ObjectVolume.zip file contains:

	Program Executable and Samples directory
		ObjectVolume.class
		Four sample .obj files (cup.obj, sphere2.obj, etc.)
		
	Java source code
		The four programs used to perform the calculations. Each
		program	is the same except for the calc method. Each calc
		method uses a different set of equations to determine the 
		volume of a tetrahedron. It turns out that all four 
		produced similar results and run times.	Method 2 was used
		to generate the ObjectVolume.class file above.
		
	ObjectVolumeTutorial.doc 
		Contains the project background and theory, a detailed
		program description, notes and execution results.
	
Copy and unzip the ObjectVolume.zip file under your home directory or 
anywhere you have read/write privileges. This will create a single 
directory named ObjectVolume which will contain the subdirectories 
and files described above.
