Welcome to the OccTutorial wiki!

This repository contains tutorials for the open source CAD kernel OpenCASCADE. For more information about OpenCASCADE, see http://www.opencascade.org

What are the tutorials for?

When I first started to learn OpenCASCADE, I was really surprised how little learning resources it had to offer compared to the rich spectrum of features that the library is capable of. Thus, I decided that I will create a tutorial series that introduces the basic features of OpenCASCADE to those who are interested.

What operating system do I need for the tutorials?

The tutorial series is being written and tested in Ubuntu 15.10. However, both OpenCASCADE and the components I use during the tutorial are supposed to be cross platform, meaning that everything should work on Windows as well.

What if I am a Windows user?

The quick and easy way would be to install an Ubuntu OS inside a Virtualbox on your Windows, e.g. following this guide. This would give you access to a fully functioning Ubuntu operating system. Make sure you also install the guest additions, so that you will have access to 3D acceleration.
