Best OpenGL library or toolkit for CAD/CAE/Engineering software?

Best OpenGL library or toolkit for CAD/CAE/Engineering software?

I would like to develop an engineering software that includes simple CAD
applications, finite element visualization and applications, some basic
engineering calculations and plotting features. Briefly, the software will
include pre-process, calculation and post-process modules.
I know coding in C/C++ and I try to take the next step. I have been
searching for a long time and I plan like this:
For GUI --> Qt
For Graphics & Plotting Features --> OpenGL
For Calculations --> fortran
Fortran and Qt is ok but openGL is very low-level. I am looking for more
high level API or toolkit (open source or free) for Opengl with good
documentation. I have found OpenSceneGraph, VTK, SDL, SGI OpenInventor,
OpenGraph SDK. But I am really confused now to start.
Thanks in advance
