CapVTE uses the visualization toolkit package and qt to create a nice friendly visualization environment.
CapVTE loads in three types of files in a format called .vte, which are geometry files, glyph files, and grid files.
The .vte files can be loaded individually or in a group by creating a list file such as the following:
VTE 1.4 ASCII
insert geometry.vte
insert glyphs.vte
insert grid.vte
To load the file into the Virginia Tech Cave find a frame you want to see in the CAVE and go under the "File" pull down menu and select save. Save the file as an inventor 2.0 file and then go here.
The picture below shows the environment of capVTE with the vacuum tank and thruster simulation loaded.
