Open CASCADE
Open CASCADE is a
suite for 3D surface and solid modeling, visualization, data exchange
and rapid application development.
It
is an excellent platform for development of numerical simulation
software including CAD/CAM/CAE, AEC and GIS, as well as PDM
applications. It includes C++ components for 3D surface and solid
modeling, visualization, data exchange and rapid application
development.

Features include:
- Components
for:
- 3D
surface and solid modeling
- Visualization
- Data
exchange
- Rapid
application development
- Foundation Classes provide a variety of general-purpose
services such as: primitive types, strings and various types of
quantities, automated management of heap memory, exception handling,
classes for
manipulating
aggregates of data, math tools etc
- Modelling Data supplies data structures to represent 2D
and 3D geometric models.These services are organized in the following
libraries: 2D
geometry, 3D geometry, geometry Utilities, topology
- The Modelling Algorithms module groups together a range of
topological algorithms used in modelling. Along with these tools, it is
possible to
find the geometric algorithms which they call
- The
Data Exchange classes provide services that allow Open CASCADE
applications to exchange data with other software applications using
the following
interfaces: STEP AP203 AP214, IGES (it is also possible to import and
export using
some simpler vector data format such as VRML and BRep boundary
representation)
- For
visualizing data structures, Open CASCADE provides ready-to-use
algorithms which create graphic presentations from geometric models.
These data
structures may be used with the viewers supplied, and can be customized
to take
into account the specificity of your application
- The Open Cascade Application Framework provides modelling
services, aiming to
connect user data, even non-geometric , to parametric geometric models.
It also provides further functionalities for storing and editing the
history of a work session, and not only its results. This approach is
embedded
into an automatic mechanism for document and application generation,
called application template
