Prepare RVM geometry for VRML
The RVM-to-VRML route uses the RVM reader, mesh preparation and the VRML writer. Choose the geometry and representation required by the destination application.
Read the AVEVA PDMS Review Model with the RVM interface. Select the plant areas, equipment or geometry needed by the destination rather than exporting unrelated portions of a large review model.
Prepare a VRML visualization derivative
Prepare polygonal output from the imported geometry, retaining suitable meshes or tessellating supported surfaces. Check model placements and coordinate scale before merging parts or constructing a destination scene.
Write the selected mesh representation through the OCCT VRML interface for a consumer that expects WRL or VRML. Map the geometry, placements and supported appearance information required by that viewer. Keep precise CAD topology and unsupported attributes in the engineering source.
Validate the converted model
Include small fittings and curved equipment as well as large structures in the comparison. Keep plant identifiers and engineering properties separately when the target cannot represent them.
Open the output in the receiving VRML application and check scale, orientation and part positions. Verify the actual appearance mapping and any resource references. Compare the tessellation against the viewing task rather than judging fidelity from successful file loading alone.
For repeated jobs, retain the source, preparation settings and representative output checks. Discuss this conversion with the input files, destination application and required geometry and attributes.
