Mesh API

The What's New for FlexSim 7 says

Many openGL commands have been deprecated... Going forward you should use the mesh api.

I can see the various Mesh commands in the User Manual but is there any documentation on how to use these commands together? Alternatively, a small sample model using the Mesh API would be ideal.

Thanks,

Please take a look into the mesh class it is well documented inside. The comments use xml (you can build your own documentation for the mesh class with doxygen, if you want).

You find the mesh.h-file at "C:\Program Files\FlexSim7\program\system\include\mesh.h" or similar.

Inside this file is a short hint how to use this class:
"/// <summary> A class encapsulating data and functionality for drawing geometry in OpenGL.</summary>
/// <remarks> The mesh class, and its accompanying mesh api in flexscript, replace the old immediate-mode
/// OpenGL rendering using glBegin() and glEnd(). To use the mesh class you initialize the mesh
/// with Mesh::init() (or the mesh() command in flexscript), defining what data you are
/// going to provide with each vertex, such as normals, texture coordinates, etc. Then you fill
/// the mesh with vertex data, either by adding vertices one at a time with
/// Mesh::addVertex() and Mesh::setVertexAttrib() (using the meshaddvertex() and meshsetvertexattrib()
/// commands in flexscript), or by copying a full set of vertex data in
/// with Mesh::defineVertexAttribs() </remarks>"[source: mesh.h]

It's also a good idea to start with general informations about mesh (like google).

I hope this is a little help, if you want to start right now

Here's a simple sample model.

And Carsten is correct. Right now the most detailed documentation is in mesh.h.
