  • The CAD and Visualization Lab (CVL) is divided into two parts, an open access computer lab and a compute cluster.
  • The CVL is a departmental resource available to students and researchers. The primary reasons for the CVL are to support software packages used throughout the department and to provide compute power for the more compute intensive requirements.Currently, the CVL uses Linux as its operating system; however, the CVL is user friendly for those who use Microsoft Windows or Apple's OSX.
