Removed tight connections between data structures, auxiliary tools and algorithms in order to create extensible solution, easy for maintenance and improvements;
Code is separated on several functional units responsible for specific operation for the sake of simplification of debugging and readability;
Introduced new data structures enabling possibility to manipulate discrete model of particular entity (edge, wire, face) in order to perform computations locally instead of processing an entire model.
The workflow of updated component can be divided on six parts:
* Creation of model data structure: source TopoDS_Shape passed to algorithm is analyzed and exploded on faces and edges. For each topological entity corresponding reflection is created in data model. Note that underlying algorithms use data model as input and access it via common interface which allows user to create custom data model with necessary dependencies between particular entities;
* Discretize edges 3D & 2D curves: 3D curve as well as associated set of 2D curves of each model edge is discretized in order to create coherent skeleton used as a base in faces meshing process. In case if some edge of source shape already contains polygonal data which suites specified parameters, it is extracted from shape and stored to the model as is. Each edge is processed separately, adjacency is not taken into account;
* Heal discrete model: source TopoDS_Shape can contain problems, such as open-wire or self-intersections, introduced during design, exchange or modification of model. In addition, some problems like self-intersections can be introduced by roughly discretized edges. This stage is responsible for analysis of discrete model in order to detect and repair faced problems or refuse model’s part for further processing in case if problem cannot be solved;
* Preprocess discrete model: defines actions specific for implemented approach to be performed before meshing of faces. By default, iterates over model faces and checks consistency of existing triangulations. Cleans topological faces and its adjacent edges from polygonal data in case of inconsistency or marks face of discrete model as not required for computation;
* Discretize faces: represents core part performing mesh generation for particular face based on 2D discrete data related to processing face. Caches polygonal data associated with face’s edges in data model for further processing and stores generated mesh to TopoDS_Face;
* Postprocess discrete model: defines actions specific for implemented approach to be performed after meshing of faces. By default, stores polygonal data obtained on previous stage to TopoDS_Edge objects of source model.
Component is now spread over IMeshData, IMeshTools, BRepMeshData and BRepMesh units.
<!break>
1. Extend "tricheck" DRAW-command in order to find degenerated triangles.
2. Class BRepMesh_FastDiscret::Parameters has been declared as deprecated.
3. NURBS range splitter: do not split intervals without necessity. Intervals are split only in case if it is impossible to compute normals directly on intervals.
4. Default value of IMeshTools_Parameters::MinSize has been changed. New value is equal to 0.1*Deflection.
5. Correction of test scripts:
1) perf mesh bug27119: requested deflection is increased from 1e-6 to 1e-5 to keep reasonable performance (but still reproducing original issue)
2) bugs mesh bug26692_1, 2: make snapshot of triangulation instead of wireframe (irrelevant)
Correction in upgrade guide.
readstl syntax has been modified, so that it creates a single-face triangulation by default.
The argument "trinagulation" is no more supported.
The new argument "-brep" has been introduced to generate
a compound of per-triangle faces instead (old default behavior of the command).
Command checkplatform was created.
All test cases were updated.
Global variable os_type was eliminated.
New option -osx (MacOS) for procedure checkplatform was added.
StlTransfer.cxx, function StlTransfer::BuildIncrementalMesh(...) fills the StlMesh_Mesh. Before this fix the StlTransfer always force meshing of the passed shape.
Now meshing is completely removed from the StlTransfer. StlWriter can return error status now, for example, if a mesh of the passed shape is empty. In this case file will be not created.
Added test case bugs/xde/bug25357
Avoid the warning on gcc compiler.
Test scripts were modified according to the fix.
1) bug23192, bug22670, bug23193: removed "isParallel" flag from the command
arguments. Manually meshing of the shape (as far as meshing was removed
from STL writer).
2) bug22898: before the fix writestl always remeshes the shape with a
deflection, related to the boundery box of the shape. For "hammer" shape
there is a 38.9076 deflection for mesh. Differences between before writing
and after reading are dedicated to fact that stl writes triangulation as
an elements of the spahe (like faces, edges etc.)
Added DRAW command dlocale to set and query current locale of the C subsystem
Equivalents of C functions working with conversions of strings to/from reals added in Standard_CString, providing locale-independent behavior (using always "C" locale)
In DRAW packages, calls to atof() and atoi() are replaced by direct calls to Draw::Atof() and Draw::Atoi(), respectively, instead of substituting by #define
Use of atof(), strtod(), and *scanf() involving floating point conversions in OCCT code replaced by locale-independent Atof() and Strtod()
Calls to sprintf() involving floating point in OCCT code are replaced by call to locale-independent Sprintf(), except a few places where converted strings are used immediately for display in the 3d viewer
Changes of global locale are eliminated throughout OCCT code
Proposed correction for GNU libC where v*printf_l functions are absent
Added test case (bugs xde bug22898) for data exchange operations with non-standard locale
Use xlocale on Mac OS X and within glibc
Corrected strtod_l wrapper
Generate error rather than warning
Introduce Standard_CLocaleSentry replacement for removed OSD_Localizer
Standard_CLocaleSentry - copy locale string
Standard_CLocaleSentry - use _configthreadlocale on Windows
Standard_CLocaleSentry::GetCLocale() - return locale_t rather than void*
Corrected misprint in ~Standard_CLocaleSentry()
Use French locale in bug22898 test case
Mark test case as skipped if locale is unavailable on tested system.
Use fr_FR locale for tests on Mac OS X
