IntegrityWare announced version 4.0 version of TSLib, its library supporting development of NURBS-based geometry applications. TSLib 4.0 (short for "Trimmed Surface Library") targets software developers working with NURBS-based curves, surfaces, trimmed surfaces, solids and open shells. The product uses a proprietary caching technology that the company claims can yield an order of magnitude or more performance improvement over the equivalent operation in existing modeling kernels. Major enhancements in version 4 include silhouette curve creation for both perspective and parallel projection, surface/surface intersection that handles tangencies and singularities, precise and super-fast ray tracing of trimmed NURBS surfaces, enhanced solid primitive creation, SMP Support for multi-processors, and assembly structure supporting the definition and display using OpenGL structures. In addition, STEP support for analytical curve and surface classes has been added. TSLib 4.0 is out and available as a fully documented platform-independent C++ source code library. The TSLib licenses are multi-user site licenses with no product royalties. A yearly maintenance contract that covers support, bug fixes, and upgrades is also available.
