OpenFrames has moved its primary development repository to GitHub! Everything else will follow. Get it at https://github.com/ravidavi/OpenFrames/wiki

OpenFrames is an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows developers to provides the ability to add interactive 3D graphics to any scientific simulation. A simulation developer can use OpenFrames to specify what they want to visualize, without having to know any details of computer graphics programming.

OpenFrames is currently used by three NASA programs: Copernicus (NASA JSC), the General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT, NASA GSFC), and a Virtual Reality exploration tool (NASA GSFC).

Features

  • Cross-platform (Windows, OSX, Linux)
  • Callable from C, C++, Fortran, Python (via SWIG)
  • Per-window multithreading
  • Can be embedded inside common GUIs such as wxWidgets or Qt/PyQt
  • Supports 3D embedded GUIs via Qt
  • Virtual Reality support via OpenVR (Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Windows MR)

Paessler - Monitor Your Whole Network in Minutes

Auto-discovery finds your devices and deploys pre-configured sensors instantly. No project plan required, just visibility from day one.

Waiting weeks for a monitoring rollout isn't an option when infrastructure doesn't stop running. PRTG's auto-discovery scans your network and suggests from over 200 pre-configured sensor types, so you're watching servers, applications and devices within minutes, not after a multi-week deployment. Enterprise-strength monitoring, without the enterprise complexity. Start your free trial today.
