My experiment with the Defeaturing tool:
https://peertube.mastodon.host/videos/w ... d8e6783872

A difficult one, created with Cimatron from user Polymer, in this video Polymer uses face repair tools:

Next video from user Polymer using Cimatron defeaturing tools:

easyw-fc and his defeaturing workbench:

OCC defeaturing is not as good as the tool from Cimatron and need a bit more improvement.

A small update for anyone who follows:

Available since today (ver. 0.3.0). The color can be changed from the parameter editor. Also, some more B-Rep inspection functions are not available in both GUI and console.

This tool is too much different from FC to directly embed it. At the same time, if you find some piece of code useful, just take it away.

Yet another update: I have finally compiled Analysis Situs on Linux (Ubuntu18_04) and it seems to work pretty much as expected. If anybody wants to give it a try, the master branch of the Git repo is Linux-ready (though, cmake scripts might deserve some more polishing; also there is a big deal of compilation warnings).

Hi @Quaoar
I've tried to build it on linux but I got some errors...
here my steps:

Code: Select all

cd AnalysisSitus
mkdir build
cd ~/AnalysisSitus/build
cmake ../

Could you please post some tips on how and which 3RDPARTY are required to build Analysis Situs on Linux?

Thx

I tried to gather some notes here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JWb ... bzZJM/edit#

Honestly, I am a newbie in linux, so the compilation process can likely be simplified or at least polished. I will be working to improve the configuration, and any criticism is very welcome,

ok :D

Normally on debian based distros, locally built packages get installed to '/usr/local/'. My build processes became much smoother, once I quit fighting this.

Dependencies that are real specific, like ActiveData, I would make git submodules and do a recursive clone on the parent repo. This will clone everything at once and make sure the different git repos are synced.

did you really need to build tcl/tk. I have never had to do that for occt?

IMHO: Have you tried meson build? In any situation that I can, I have replaced cmake with meson and been a lot happier!

Hi @Quaoar
I'm trying to build it using cmake and the terminal... this is much handy to reproduce the building in different PCs...
(the same is suggested for FreeCAD [Single command for Python 3 and Qt5 https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/CompileOnUnix])
here my initial attempts: (please note that I can already build FreeCAD)

Code: Select all

git clone https://gitlab.com/ssv/AnalysisSitus.git
cd AnalysisSitus
mkdir build
cd ~/AnalysisSitus/build
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install qtcreator
sudo apt install qt5-default
sudo apt-get install libqt5x11extras5-dev
cd ~/AnalysisSitus/build
cmake -D 3RDPARTY_DIR=/usr/lib ../
cd ~
git clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk.git
cd vtk
git checkout tags/v8.2.0
sudo apt-get install libxt-dev
cd ~/AnalysisSitus/build
cmake -D 3RDPARTY_DIR=/usr/lib ../
cmake -D 3RDPARTY_DIR=/usr/lib -D 3RDPARTY_vtk_LIBRARY_DIR=../../vtk ../
cd ~
git clone  https://gitlab.com/ssv/active-data.git
cd ~/AnalysisSitus/build
cmake -D 3RDPARTY_DIR=/usr/lib -D 3RDPARTY_vtk_LIBRARY_DIR=../../vtk ../
and the latest errors:

Hi tanderson69, and thanks for your comments. I will try to organize Active Data as a git submodule indeed. As for Tcl/Tk, Tk is not required but Tcl is needed because there's an embedded Tcl console which makes much sense for rapid prototyping. It's pretty much like OpenCascade's Draw console but with different commands. I have never heard about Meson, will check it :!:

Hello Maurice. Thanks for giving it a try and sorry for my crappy configuration scripts, it's too bad if you wasted much time on it. I will try to make it more conventional and smart, and your link to FreeCAD's guide is of much help.

I will check your log and come up to you soon.
