ZONA Model View

ZONA Model View (ZONA-MV) Topics

The ZONA Model View program is an OpenGL-based Windows Pre/Post-Processor that can be used with ZONA Technology, Inc.'s (ZONA's) Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software. This software was originally developed as an "in-house" tool and is not intended to be a commercial product. As such, there is no User's Manual or support that accompanies its usage. However, ZONA does freely provide ZONA-MV to any customers who license any of ZONA's CAE software and wish to use this program. To help support its basic usage we have created this web page with video links to demonstrate many of its features, in particular, those associated with ZONA's CAE software pre-processing of input bulk data and post-processing of computed results.

Disclaimer: ZONA Technology, Inc. assumes no liability or responsibility to any person or company for direct or indirect damages resulting from the use of the ZONA-MV software.
