In order to generate nice visualizations and animations, CAD geometry can be added to Spavisual. At this page, an example is provided how CAD geometry can be added to the visualization by exploiting the USERPLOT function of spavisual. | In order to generate nice visualizations and animations, CAD geometry can be added to Spavisual.
