I noticed recent commits are happening independently on github, that is, there are commits on github that are not on dev.opencascade.org. I have not checked carefully if all commits on dev.opencascade.org are merged to github. What is the current development model for there two repos?
Hi all. I have built opencascade statically, and I'm trying to link opencascade static libraries into executable using cmake. I develop library (let's name it mylib.a) that use opencascade functionality. And I want link mylib.a and opencascade libraries into executable (test app for example). When I
Hello there, would it be possible to know the release date for the next major release, which should be 7.8.0? Is there an approximate regular schedule? We would like to buy some commercial OCCT products and prefer to wait until the latest&greatest is out, given that 7.7 was released more than a year
I've noticed that a bunch of regression tests have been removed by patch for #0033225 with description unavailable to community. As these tests covered glTF writer with Draco compression, Path-Tracing features, compressed texture formats, and some other visualization features, I'm curious - I guess
Open CASCADE Technology works on a vast range of platforms, and it is one of high priorities to keep supporting major compilers. I have prepared a short anonymous questionnaire to collect some statistics, and you are welcome to share your opinion on this forum thread. As you may notice, OCCT 7.5.0 s
Good Morning, I am using General Fuse Algorithm to prepare CAD data for my Electromagnetic Simulator EmCAD (see hierarchical-electromagnetics.com). I have the need to split a set of shapes with a second set of shapes (faces). Each set of shapes in already intersected so that the only possible new in
Hello, OpenCascade can use TBB, but it will be soon deprecated and replaced by oneTBB. See https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-onea... Is there any plan for OpenCascade to switch to oneTBB? Thanks.
I want to use OCC in a new commercial project as geometry engine, how to you think guys, it's a good idea? OCC will never die ? :-)
Do you plan to release OCCT 7.1.1 with VS 2017 support?
Hi OCC team, Do you have any particular plans for official VS2015 support yet ? At CAD Exchanger, we have made an experimental build (incl. OCC port) but hesitated to contribute these modifications as you are apparently already taking this effort yourself, so that would be colliding changes. We have
Since the beta release of our application is coming, I thought it could be interesting to summarize my experiences with OpenCascade on iOS. First of all, I would like to declare, that I was very satisfied with OCCT, despite all of its problems, it is still the best option for CAD development if you
Our fundamental Handle_Standard_Transient.hxx file declares invalid address of handled OCCT entities as 0xfefd0000 on x32 and 0xfefdfefdfefd0000 on x64. This peculiarity has been discussed long time ago here: http://opencascade.blogspot.com/2008/11/open-cascade-handles-lets-handle... The main questi
Hello, This is to share some details on new items in OCCT documentation to appear in 6.7.1 and 6.8.0, which may be interesting to some people: Documentation can now include images in SVG format, see Mantis issue #24431 . This enables use of high-quality vector graphics instead of raster images. Some
Hello, With OCCT 6.7.0 we introduce the new documentation system . All OCCT documentation (Overview, User and Developer Guides) is now included in OCCT source tree (new sub-folder dox ), in plain text format (MarkDown with Doxygen extensions). The HTML, CHM, and PDF files are generated using Doxygen
I use VS2012 to rebuild occ, and there are some warnnings. Like "may cause data lost", but I think it`s ok. So I try to build samples in Csharp, firstly, it appear errors with cannot find header files like "Standard_Boolean.hxx:No such file or directory", then I add /inc, /libd, /scr, to the project
Hello all, We are moving further in OCCT development, and since today the information on on-going efforts will be made available to the community via the new section Projects of this portal. Check the project pages to see how OCCT will evolve in the nearest future, and consider subscribing to the pa
Working on #0022898 I had a little look on the source code regarding locale handling and string to real conversion. Why is there a CStringToReal function in class OSD and in class OSD_Real2String with the same signature? The functions are also used in a very few cases. A "grep -r StringToReal *" in
Greetings, I am curious as to whether official support for Mac OS X is planned? I am willing (and hopefully able) to help. I was successful (without OpenGL support) this morning in building OCCT 6.5.2 on my Lion based MacBook Pro. I am in the process of patching the source code to account for the Op
Dear Contributors, Please note that last integration to Git master has introduced porting of OCCT on last version of FTGL, 2.1.3rc5. This is a version included with most modern Linux distributions, and this change enables OCCT building with native FTGL on these systems. Since FTGL is packaged in dif
Dear OCE Members, We recognize the efforts made by you in the OCE project to improve OCCT in the ways it would never go on itself, and to give a major impulse to the activity around it. In this context, the product will definitely benefit from combining our efforts. That is our motivation for this c
Hello, while using the trial version of a static analysis product, I tryed it with OCE to evaluate it with a very big solution :) Surely I can't disclose the result log, since it won't be ethically correct , but I'm reporting the problem. Probably clang or MSVC /analize could report similar issues.
Since occ will discuss the relicensing of open CAS.CADE (as discussed in a previous thread), I think it would be a great idea to also take into account the following issues : 1) Discuss the opening of CAS.CADE products (emesh, guif etc...), under a license that will protect your interests and assets
Hello all, In order to share with all current and potential contributors a complete view of the OCCT project, an initial road-map is available here followed by development directions. All members of this project are invited to comment on the proposed directions, to add subjects, prioritize them so w
Many of you have asked about the availability of the stable version of Open CASCADE 3.0, by Matra Datavision. This version is now scheduled for April 21st and will be downloadable from www.opencascade.com . So stay tuned!
Hi to all, apologies if this is inapropriate here, but since I couldn't find solution elsewhere, and this is closest to installation FAQ, here it goes. I use Gentoo and want to use variaous mech packages like FreeCAD and Salome, but those seem to depend on differentversions of VTK and OCCT. I tried
