What’s New in C3D Toolkit

02/07/2024 [rev 118002]
The possibility of wire frame extension, basing on earlier created curve extension algorithm, has been added. See MbResultType ExtendWireFrame(...) function in the file action_wireframe.h.
The class MbExtendCurveCreator does not support storing the source (extended) curve. Consequently, the constructor with curve in input parameter has been declared as deprecated.
The function CreateExtendedCurve(...), returning SPtr of creator, has been declared as deprecated. New API does not have any alternative.
The constructor of MbSimpleWireFrameCreator has been modified. Now it applies c3d::ConstWireEdgesSPtrVector instead of c3d::WireEdgesSPtrVector.
28/06/2024 [rev 118002]
The conversion to shared ownership of data in the tree of mathematical expressions has been made (node ​​BTreeNode and user function MbUserFunc);
these changes were made in the function for creating a mathematical expression tree CreateBTreeForEquation() (std::unique_ptr<BTreeNode> -> SPtr<BTreeNode>).
26/06/2024 [rev 118002]
A new class MbPolymesh was added. It represnts a polygonal object storing a topopology through MbPolymeshTopo class. As realization
a new way of topology reporesentation was added. This representation in widely known as halfedge. Classes support this representation
are MbHalfedge, MbHalfedgeVertex, MbHalfedgeEdge, MbHalfedgeFacet, MbSegmentationLoop, MbSegmentationSubRegion. To store data
associated with topology classes MbHalfedgeAttrBoolFacet, MbHalfedgeAttrBoolEdge, MbHalfedgeAttrBoolVertex, MbHalfedgeAttrUintVertex,
MbHalfedgeAttrUintEdge, MbHalfedgeAttrUintFacet, MbHalfedgeAttrIntVertex, MbHalfedgeAttrIntEdge, MbHalfedgeAttrIntFacet,
MbHalfedgeAttrSizetEdge, MbHalfedgeAttrSizetFacet, MbHalfedgeAttrSizetVertex, MbHalfedgeAttrDoubleEdge, MbHalfedgeAttrDoubleFacet,
MbHalfedgeAttrDoubleVertex, MbHalfedgeAttrFloatEdge, MbHalfedgeAttrFloatFacet, MbHalfedgeAttrFloatVertex, MbHalfedgeAttrPoint3D,
MbHalfedgeAttrParameters, MbHalfedgeAttrNormalsVertex, MbHalfedgeAttrNormalsFacet, MbHalfedgeAttrDihedralAngles,
MbHalfedgeAttrSharpEdge, MbHalfedgeAttrCurvaturesVertex, MbHalfedgeAttrDensityVertex, MbHalfedgeAttrDirectionEdge3D,
MbHalfedgeAttrDirectionVertex3D, MbHalfedgeAttrSurfaces, MbHalfedgeAttrParamByEdge, MbHalfedgeAttrStrains were added.
To traverse this topology iterators EdgeFanIterator, EdgeFacetIterator, EdgeLoopIterator, EdgeEdgesIterator, SubregionRegionIterator,
LoopSubregionIterator were added.
To work with topology as a whole object functions GetConnectedFacetGroups,
GetConnectedRegionGroups, GetPolymeshRegions, GetPolymeshRegion, GetPolymeshRegionBorders, GetPolymeshOpenBorders,
GetSegmOpenBorders, GetPolymeshEdgePolyline, GetPolymeshLoopPolyline, PolymeshSection, CutPolymeshByPlane, CopyPolymeshPart were
added into action_polymesh.h file. All mentioned classes and fuctions are part of c3d namespace.
13/06/2024 [rev 117998]
An output field has been added to the ExtensionValues ​​structure that specifies options for representing the resulting body. ( op_shell_parameter.h ).
03/06/2024 [rev 117995]
MakeSTEPEntities signature has changed - bool MakeSTEPEntities( MbSolid const &solid, std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const converter::SeBase>>& enitites ).
