[Opencfd-develop] Open Cascade for pre/post processing

[Daniel L. <dan...@ho...>]

Hi all.

Welcome to the OpenCFD team Anton!

Its good to hear we're getting things back on track once more. I've been 
looking at a framework called Open Cascade. I think it could be a good 
option for us to base our Pre/Post processor on. Its an open source C++ 
software development platform and it includes components for 3D surface and 
solid modelling, visualization, data exchange and rapid application 
development. It will allow us to import/export CAD files in STEP and IGES 
format.

I can start work on the pre-processor using this technology. Please take a 
look http://www.opencascade.org/ and let me know what you think. If you like 
the framework I'll begin putting together a pre-processor demo (they have 
examples for this) that can import/export CAD files and we'lll take it from 
there....Mesh generation etc.

cheers!
-Dano
