Mark, Thanks for the response. I'm doing a set of analyses for a client, and my preprocessor is very targeted on the analyses I'm trying to do, rather than being a general purpose tool. So, no GUI, very few bells and whistles beyond what I need to get my simulations prepared with as little hassle as possible. I'm looking at both Impact and Code_Aster as FE solvers.
I checked out your branch, and it looks like it depends on a somewhat earlier version of oce than the current pythonocc master. (0.8 vs 0.12, IIRC). Have the changes been significant enough since then that the merge is likely to be troublesome?
