Overview Open CASCADE Mesh Framework (OMF) enables mesh support in development of pre- and post-processing applications with Open CASCADE. In conjunction with Open CASCADE it can be particular interested for CAD/CAE application software vendors looking for a complete development platform.
Contents
The ground for OMF is provided by the SMDS package included into Salome. However SMDS is only suitable within the Salome environment and is not directly transferable on Open CASCADE-based development. OMF fills this gap substantially extending SMDS with the following most significant add-ons:
- integration with Open CASCADE visualization, to enable display of the mesh structures directly in Open CASCADE 3D view;
- support of data exchange with MSC/Nastran and STL formats;
- various control and checking algorithms such as free boundaries detection;
- available detailed documentation (User’s Guide and Reference Manual) and programming sample;
- porting across all supported platforms (Windows, Linux and Sun Solaris).
OMF supports linear meshes of any dimension (up to 3D). Default implementation includes display in three standard modes – wireframe, shading and shrink. However, arbitrary user-defined modes can be easily added. API is provided to track "back references" (from nodes to elements) what can substantially help to increase performance in editing and other operations.
OMF is delivered with the full source code.
Benefits
- OMF provides a ready-to-use state-of-the-art mesh framework
- Data structure is implemented for most efficient memory consumption and performance
- Available interfaces enable fast integration into user's pre- and post-processing applications
- Availability of the source code allows to adapt and to extend the component for any particular application
