OCCT Draw Harness

About this project

This is an experimental work-in-progress web-page opening Draw Harness application from Open CASCADE Technology (or OCCT) directly in the browser as a WebAssembly module.

The page is generated from the following git repository (see project readme for more details):
https://github.com/gkv311/occt-draw

Draw Harness application is built as WebAssembly module, from OCCT source code with statically linked MODELING, XDE, and VISUALIZATION plugins.

Although plugins are statically linked, you should use conventional command pload for loading specific commands (use pload ALL to load all commands and help to list available commands).

Console interface is based on xterm.js library and support an interactive input of Draw Harness commands as well as Tcl scripting.

OCCT 3D Viewer content can be seen within a dedicated WebGL canvas (see commands pload VISUALIZATION, vinit, vdisplay, vglinfo and others; shortcut help v* might be helpful to list most visualization commands).

About Draw Harness

Draw Harness is an open-source Tcl command interpreter used to test and demonstrate Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) modeling libraries.

Draw Harness provides a set of manually written Tcl commands utilizing OCCT functionality, providing a natural environment for interactive input.

Draw Harness allows:

• Performing modeling operations from OCCT.
• Performing import/export operations into STEP/IGES/glTF/STL file formats.
• Displaying and interacting with models in 3D Viewer, as well as making screenshots.
• Learning, evaluating, prototyping algorithms interactively - through command line input or available Tcl samples.
• Scripting operations using Tcl language for reuse in interactive and non-interactive modes.
• Automated non-regression testing of algorithms.
• Extending with own commands through writing Draw Plugins.

Draw Harness can be used on a wide range of platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and even directly in the browser as WebAssembly module (this project is a live DEMO of the latter)!

About Open CASCADE Technology

Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) is an open source full-scale 3D geometry library. Striving to be one of the best free cad software kernels, OCCT is widely used for the development of specialized programs dealing with the following engineering and mechanical domains: 3D modeling (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), numerical simulation (CAE), measurement equipment (CMM) and quality control (CAQ). Since its publication in 1999 as an open source CAD software kernel, OCCT has been successfully used in numerous projects ranging from building and construction to aerospace and automotive.
