General presentation of the GEOM python package
|
|
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
|
|
The GEOM python package essentially contains:
|
|
|
|
* The visualization of structural elements: a function to create
|
|
geometrical 3D representations of mechanical models called
|
|
"structural elements".
|
|
|
|
Note that these functions either encapsulate the python programming
|
|
interface of GEOM core (the CORBA or SWIG interfaces for example) or
|
|
extend existing utilities as the ``geompy.py`` module.
|
|
|
|
The functions are distributed in the python package
|
|
``salome.geom``. For example, the usage of the visualization of
|
|
structural elements can be appreciated with this set of instructions:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from salome.geom.structelem import TEST_StructuralElement
|
|
TEST_StructuralElement()
|
|
|
|
This creates the geometrical objects displayed in the study below:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: /images/salome-geom-structuralelements.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
The specification of the programming interface of this package is
|
|
detailled in the part :doc:`Documentation of the programming interface
|
|
(API)</docapi>` of this documentation.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The main package ``salome`` contains other sub-packages that are
|
|
distributed with the other SALOME modules. For example, the KERNEL
|
|
module provides the python package ``salome.kernel`` and SMESH the
|
|
package ``salome.smesh``.
