Support for Salome Platform 9.8 #58

Closed trelau closed 2 years ago

trelau commented 2 years ago

Version 9.8 is available which looks like it includes proper support for Netgen 6.2.

Note that Salome still uses a patched version of OCCT 7.5, so unclear how feasible upgrading OCCT version will be...

Since upstream Salome is still using a patched version of OCCT 7.5.3, general approach will likely be:

I think there was a good number of API changes in OCCT 7.6 (e.g., module renaming or removing), so start by getting SMESH updated to upstream Salome with consistent OCCT versions. If there is a lot of patching to do to support OCCT 7.6, it might also be worth seeing how long it might be before Salome updates to OCCT 7.6. Although, this means that the pace of these projects is set by Salome (and not OCCT updates).
