Hello, all: I would like to be able to do some 3D modeling as a side effect of some engineering program; when I started to search for 3D stuff, I had first looked into OpenGL but that is a low as it gets and I am not a graphics guy, I am an engineer; besides, I don't want to do general graphical stuff...I am simply interested in parts, you know, mechanical parts...then, I saw OpenCascade but read that it is software for people developing software, not to mentioned that I was overwhelmed by its hundreds of functions, the C++ part, etc.
Then, I run into Salome and FreeCAD...I am liking FreeCAD and may be able to embed it; but then...I run into pythonOCC pythonOCC seems to be just about what I need, even more so the PAF with its rules and automatic updates...maybe is too early to be asking for help, but I don't see much in the form of well structured tutorials, from simple early beginnings to more complex stuff. How is one to go about learning pythonOCC...I see the site somewhere claims that this software is for engineers ( as opposed to program developers, I presume?), yet, I get the feeling that one is expected to know OCC in the first place before one can use pythonOCC....so much for just being an engineer... If pythonOCC is to reduce the learning curve compare to OCC, it would be nice if it had its own easy-to-find set of tutorials....I was reading the one on PAF from April 12, 2010, but it no longer works, I guess things have changed. I just want to be able to have my own input screen and on the side draw the resulting geometry (topology, I guess...I am still reading) and have it update as the input parameters change. Any suggestions? Thanks, gsal
