SIMAIL creates and displays 2-D, 2 1/2-D, and 3-D meshes interactively. It allows interactive generation of meshes (bar, beams, surface, plates, shells, cones, solids) based on characteristic point, line, and surface data; interactive generation of meshing using CAD files; interactive mesh positioning and modification, geometric transformations, topological transformations, displacement of vertices, and renumbering of nodes; introduction of different load cases into the system (surface and volume loading-blocking conditions at the limits); display of mesh characteristics (points, lines, physical properties, boundary conditions, loads); and display of the mesh under different angles with the capability to suppress hidden surfaces, set windows, zoom, and select subregions.
