Installation of OpenCASCADE

+ +

OpenCASCADE is a + software development kit (SDK) intended for development of + applications dealing with 3D CAD data, freely available in open + source. It includes a set of C++ class libraries providing + services for 3D surface and solid modeling, visualization, data + exchange and rapid application development.

+ +

Below is a short summary of instructions on how to compile and + install OpenCASCADE community edition by hand + (for the case you wish to do so).

+ +

How to compile and install OpenCASCADE +

+ +

+Get a clone of the OCE repository: +

+git clone git://github.com/tpaviot/oce.git
+

+ +It is a good practice to build in a separate directory: +

+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake -DOCE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/where/you/want/oce ..
+make install
+

+ +The default options are good for the deal.II library. + +

Interfacing deal.II + to OpenCASCADE

+ +

+ Support for OpenCASCADE will be + enabled automatically if a system wide installation of + OpenCASCADE can be found. + To use a self compiled version, specify +

+
+    -DOPENCASCADE_DIR=/path/to/opencascade/or/oce
+

+ when invoking cmake. +

+ You can override the autodetection by manually setting +

+
+    -DDEAL_II_WITH_OPENCASCADE=OFF|ON
+
