MATFOR 3 Now Available with Absoft Pro Fortran v9.0 for Windows
Simultaneously visualize and animate high performance code


Rochester Hills, MI (September 15, 2004)Absoft Corporation has announced immediate availability of AnCAD’s popular high-performance visualization toolkit, MATFOR 3, bundled with its Absoft’s high performance Pro Fortran compiler suite version 9.0 for Windows. MATFOR 3 contains a set of numerical and visualization libraries developed specially for scientists and engineers, and can be applied to various fields, including wave propagation, fluid dynamics, and solid mechanics. The functions in the libraries enhance Fortran and C++ programs with dynamic visualization capabilities, shorten your numerical codes and speed up the development process.

The MATFOR toolkit can be called directly from C++ and Fortran, giving developers simplified syntax and facilitating object-oriented programming. By simply adding a few lines of MATFOR function calls to Fortran and C++ programs, developers can easily visualize computing results, perform run-time animations, or even produce a movie presentation file programs execute. MATFOR 3 includes the MATFOR Numerical Library, based on MKL 6.0a, the MATFOR Graphics Library, based on VTK 4.2 and the MATFOR Data Viewer.Read more or Buy Now...
