I also got segment fault, if our research project will use netgen later, I may have time to investigate. for the time being, I may leave it as it is. There is patch for netgen 6.2, not sure how good it is. netgen license is GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1. it is compatible with FC, an easy wa...

Good to hear this. I gave up on latest netgen and settled at 6.2.1808. But this also needs some patches to work. netgen 6.2 has been developed for 3 years, lots of change. If you mean patch is needed to work (not only to compiling), then I'd better to give up. I just use netgen in ubuntu (it may be...

There is some breaking change in netget master, which I think I have fixed (netgen 6.2 and occt 7.3 all from ppa). On ubuntu 16.04, the compiler gcc 5 is not high enough to compile, I spent one hour to update g++ to make it works. I will give it anther test before I post. > " why did you split out s...

I have updated salomemesh from 7.7 to 8.3, tetgen 6.2 has change that break smesh code in freecad. like excpetion and pybind11 macro, I fixed it by 2 latest commits. https://github.com/qingfengxia/SMESH further discussion on smesh is in another thread. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=34...

I split out salome geometry module, it is now on github https://github.com/ukaea/SGeom I managed to compiled smesh 8.3 with latest FreeCAD without netgen. Freecad test workbench does not complain any error. I will send a PR , can someone have a test on other platforms, windows. This smesh may not wo...

great! thank you!, Salome 7.7 seems not quite ancient. it can stay in FreeCAD as it is

I will think about a tool to track the change and review the diff.

In my other parallel preprocessor project, I split out some function of Salome geom module, I will share a link once it is available.

Dear FCers, I am curious how smesh module, currently in freecad soource tree, is maintained, as opencascade and salome evolve? There needs some effort to split smesh out from salome, here is the salome 8.3 's extraction. https://github.com/LaughlinResearch/ who wrote python binding for smesh and occ...

I think it is too difficult to make boundary layer working robust (working for different kind of meshing algorithm), how about just remove this feature? It is only useful in CFD case, where near wall velocity gradient is very big, if there is turbulent flow, there is a requirement of the first layer...
