This tutorial will teach you how to use Open CASCADE services to model a 3D object. The purpose of
this tutorial is not to explain all Open CASCADE classes but to help you start thinking in terms of
the Open CASCADE tool. |
Prerequisites
This tutorial assumes that you have experience in using and setting up C++
From a programming standpoint, Open CASCADE is designed to enhance your C++ tools with high performance modeling classes, methods and functions. A combination of all these resources will allow you to create substantial applications.
You can download a complete demonstration in different formats. To use these files, you need to have Open CASCADE installed.
The project:
To illustrate the use of classes provided in the 3D geometric modeling toolkits, you will create a bottle as shown:

|
During this tutorial we will create, step-by-step, a function that will model a bottle as shown above.
This modeling requires three steps:
- build the bottle's Profile
- build the bottle's Body
- build the Threading on the bottle's neck
Project Specifications:
First of all we define the bottle specifications as follows:
Bottle height myHeight 70
Bottle width myWidth 50
Bottle thickness myThickness 30
In addition, we decide that the bottle's profile will be centered on the origin of the global cartesian coordinate system.
