SMESH and SGEOM depend on OCC. But SMESH do *not* depend on SGEOM.
Basically, SMESH take a TopoDS_Shape and mesh it. This TopoDS_Shape can be
generated with the PAF (i.e. SGEOM based) or OCC.
OCC topology/geometry algorithms -> TopoDS_Shape -> SMESH -> Meshed shape
or
PAF -> TopoDS_Shape -> SMESH
Thanks for the info.
So if i understand correctly this is only for user interaction / interactive
application development, and not really necessary for creating simple/static
geometry generator etc..? How about the other salome modules, the meshing
for example, does this require any use of the SGE
Also, I'm wondering if there are conflicts between OCAF topological
naming and PAF.
PAF is implemented on top of OCAF.
Think of PAF as pythonic OCAF ;')
But maybe it makes no sens using both of them (if they provide te
same functionality)!
That's right, have a look for instance in how PAF
Hi Thomas. Thanks for trying making things clearer. Also I'm happy not to be
the only one finding the naming conventions (if we can call it that way)
confusing.
Hence, I wonder if it is easy and efficient to use PAF and OCAF in the same
>> time. In that case, does OCAF handle, the modification mad

The GEOM module comes from Salomé. In Salomé, its main purpose is to
generate Geometry, that will later be meshed and computed. But I agree
Interesting! The role of sgeom was blurry to me too. Still I don't get the
name (GEOM) if its main focus is parametric modeling!! At least PAF name is
much clearer ;-)
So PAF is a pythonic extension of sgeom which is a simplified API of OCC
topological naming. I've read lately some of the doc of OC

Hi all,
Been taking a few looks at the sgeom module, trying to find some
documentation on its purpose, but there's little docs to be found.
Looking at the methods/operations it seems to have some overlap with the
rest of opencascade, and it also seems to be geared towards interactive
application de
