New GRAPE Release 5.3 available

The updated version is released together with a comprehensive documentation - available in postscript- and html-version - helping the user to take advantage of the improvements and new facilities. This release is the first documented double release.(see Download Package and Manuals)

Sparse-Grids and 3-Dimensional Lamé-Equation

February 12, 1996 - There is a diploma thesis being written on "Sparse-Grids and 3-Dimensional Lamé-Equation", and some information on this project has been added to the list of our GRAPE applications - check it out!

GRAPE 5.0 available for DEC workstations

January 1996 - You can download a GRAPE 5.0 library for DEC workstations (see Download Package and Manuals).

Minimal Surface Library

January 1996 - A minimal surface library is now available as a second example of our applications.
Minimal surfaces are those with mean curvature zero. In this library you will find some of the well known classical and some new examples of complete minimal surfaces. Each example is provided with one ore more pictures and a short description of its mathematical properties.
All surfaces in this library are represented by Weierstrass data and computed by the project Amandus of GRAPE.
Most of the surfaces can be deformed interactively with GRAPE. Also you can see a lot of these surface deformations in the movie Palast der Seifenhäute (Touching Soap Films).
You can download the library as a package of data files (see Download Package and Manuals).

New GRAPE Release available

October 1995 - Finally the new GRAPE release is available. It was introduced by us on the "Workshop Visualisierung" in Feldberg at the beginning of this month. At the moment the download section of the GRAPE WWW pages doesn't offer all the different libraries we used to offer but the missing ones will come up soon.
The updated version is released together with a comprehensive documentation - available soon in an html-version too - helping the user to take advantage of the improvements and new facilities. You will be impressed by the improved Control Window and its "GUI-like" appearance made possible by new control objects which can be arranged in a hierarchy.
