Sounds like hyperbole to me. > In the freenode #brlcad IRC chatroom, recently the user 'brlcad' > mentioned to me not to use a dimension of less than 0.005 mm, for > reasons of 'computational stability' or some similar verbiage. > > I am working on MEMS devices which have nanoscale through macroscale > features... 5 microns is HUGE for some of the things I will be doing. I would trust user brlcad's advice here, but am a bit surprised. In precision machining .0001 of an inch or .001 millimeter are used as a 'general' level of precision and can easily become more precise. I would have hoped brlcad could handle nanoscale without issue! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BRL-CAD Users mailing list brlcad-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/brlcad-users
