WeldFormGUI
WeldForm & WeldFormGPU simple, intuitive, native and light Graphical User Interface to generate model and export solver input
Build Instructions
On ubuntu sudo apt-get install xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
Geometry import
You need opencocct-V7_5_0
Windows
I prefer to install using nmake, not MSVC project files. cmake ..\WeldFormGUI -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS=C:\Users\54113\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\include \
-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=C:\Users\54113\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311
Example:
1 - If build_python=ON do: set PATH=%PATH%;PATH\TO\SWIGWIN\EXE Being PATH\TO\SWIGWIN\EXE path in which swig.exe is (see below downloads. ) cmake ..\WeldFormGUI -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \ -DVTK_INCLUDE_DIR=D:\Luciano\Numerico\Libs\vtk-9.3.1_install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_IOOCCT=ON \ -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=D:\Luciano\Numerico\Libs\occt-vc143-64\cmake\ -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_IOOCCT=ON \ -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS=C:\Users\54113\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\include \ -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=C:\Users\54113\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\libs\python311.lib \ -DGMSH_DIR=D:\Luciano\Numerico\Libs\gmsh-4.13.0_install -DBUILD_PYTHON=ON I have used swigwin-4.1.1 =D:/Luciano/Numerico/Libs/swigwin-4.1.1/Lib From https://www.swig.org/download.html
dlls, py and pyd files should be at exe directory (example src/)

WeldFormGUI uses gmsh and "contrib/netgen/libsrc/occ"
curl -L -o occt.tgz "http://git.dev.opencascade.org/gitweb/?p=occt.git;a=snapshot;h=refs/tags/V7_5_0;sf=tgz" tar zxf occt.tgz cd occt-V7_5_0 mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_MODULE_Draw=0 -DBUILD_MODULE_Visualization=0 -DBUILD_MODULE_ApplicationFramework=0 ..
Notes:
* if you installed dependencies (e.g. Freetype) in non-standard locations, add the option -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=path-of-installed-dependencies
* if you don't have root access, add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path-to-install
* to build static libraries, add -DBUILD_LIBRARY_TYPE=Static
make sudo make install
Notes:
* if you don't have root access, remove "sudo"
This renders VTK to a FBO https://github.com/trlsmax/imgui-vtk
MUST SPECIFY IMGUI AND GLFW3 DIRS TO IMUI-VTK
PUT VTK BINARYPATH BUILD IT AS RELEASE! cmake [SOURCE_DIR] -DVTK_INCLUDE_DIR="/usr/local/include/vtk-9.3" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_IOOCCT=ON
Should build VTK with cmake ....... -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_IOOCCT=ON
-- MS Windows Build Instructions
- Download OpenCascade 7.8.0 built binaries
https://github.com/Open-Cascade-SAS/OCCT/releases/tag/V7_8_0
- Important, from compiled and installed OCCT library run "OCCT/env.bat" --BEFORE-- execute cmake.
GMSH USED IS 4.13.0 (4.13.1 DOES NOT WORK ON MSWIN)
You can put the following: ´´´ set(DEFAULT OFF CACHE INTERNAL "Default value for enabled-by-default options")
macro(opt OPTION HELP VALUE) option(ENABLE_${OPTION} ${HELP} ${VALUE}) set(OPT_TEXI "${OPTTEXI}\n@item ENABLE${OPTION}\n${HELP} (default: ${VALUE})") endmacro()
set (ENABLE_NETGEN OFF) set (ENABLE_POST OFF) set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)
IF (WIN32)
set (ENABLE_BUILD_DYNAMIC OFF) #OR ENABLE_BUILD_LIB OR ENABLE_BUILD_SHARED
set (ENABLE_BUILD_LIB ON)
ELSE()
set (ENABLE_BUILD_DYNAMIC ON) #OR ENABLE_BUILD_LIB OR ENABLE_BUILD_SHARED set (ENABLE_BUILD_LIB OFF)
ENDIF()
set (HAVE_FLTK OFF) set (ENABLE_GRAPHICS OFF) set (ENABLE_MESH ON) set (ENABLE_PARSER OFF) ´´´ ATTENTION; IF OPENCASCADE VERSION IS GREATER OR EQUAL THAN 7.8.0, VTK version 9.3.1 does not have right targets.
