WebWinds is a scientific visualization and analysis package, written as a Java application, which is designed to be an easy to use, multi-disciplinary tool. This version has both client and server capabilities.
Tutorial Details:
For all platforms, we recommend a processor speed of at least 200 MHz and at least 128 Mb of memory. With these minimum requirements you will be limited in the size of data sets that you can examine and the response times will be slow. The package requires about 25 Mb of disk space including documentation. WebWinds has been designed around the Java 1.2 or 1.3 API and may not run with version 1.1 of the Virtual Machine (VM).
In order to use the 3D displays, you must have OpenGL version 1.1 or later on your machine. In some cases, these installations must be done by someone with root privileges. In addition, you will need a compiled version of our C library containing Java wrappers to OpenGL.
Installation requires acquisition of the Java Development Kit (JDK). Contact us or your operating system vendor for more details. After installing the JDK, the user must obtain WebWinds software from the WebWinds download page. The choices are: WebWinds client software, WebWinds server software and sample data. Documentation is now included in the software packages and is not accessible except within WebWinds and via the Web. The user must create scripts for either the client (wwclient) or server (wwserver), depending on which package has been downloaded. Contact us for more details.
OS/2
Several users have reported some success using OS/2 Warp 4 with either Fixpack 6 or 7 and the JDK from IBM. There may be some Java Virtual Machine problems using the 08.01.1999 version of the JDK.
The installation requires acquisition of the Java Development Kit (JDK). WebWinds software, documentation and data are downloaded separately from the WebWinds page, after filling out the license agreement. The JDK is downloaded from IBM.
