About SALOME Netgen plug-in
***************************

SALOME Netgen plug-in is destined for:
- Meshing 1D, 2D and 3D geometric entities.
- Splitting faces into triangular elements (quad-dominant mesh is also possible).
- Splitting solids into tetrahedral elements (pyramids are constructed as a
  transition from quadrangles to tetrahedra).
- Generating 3D meshes from 2D meshes, working without geometrical objects.

SALOME Netgen plug-in is integrated into SALOME platform via the SALOME Mesh
module.

For more information please visit the SALOME platform web site:

Installation
============

--------------
Pre-requisites
--------------

SALOME platform relies on a set of third-party software; some of them are needed
at build time only, while other ones are needed at runtime as well.

For more information about the pre-requisites please visit SALOME platform web
site:

* Check Release Notes and Software Requirements of the latest SALOME release at

  <http://www.salome-platform.org/downloads/current-version/>

* Pre-requisites page at SALOME web site:

  <http://www.salome-platform.org/downloads/license/>

Note: SALOME Netgen plug-in needs SALOME KERNEL, SALOME GUI, SALOME Geometry and
SALOME Mesh as pre-requisites.

------------------
Basic Installation
------------------

The build procedure of the SALOME platform is implemented with CMake.
In order to build the plug-in you have to do the following actions: 

1. Set up environment for pre-requisites (see "Pre-requisites" section above).

2. Create a build directory:

   % mkdir NETGENPLUGIN_BUILD

3. Configure the build procedure:

   % cd NETGENPLUGIN_BUILD
   % cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<mode> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<installation_directory> <path_to_src_dir>

   where
   - <mode> is either Release or Debug (default: Release);
   - <installation_directory> is a destination folder to install SALOME Netgen
     plug-in (default: /usr); 
   - <path_to_src_dir> is a path to the SALOME Netgen plug-in sources directory.

   Note: by default (if CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option is not given), SALOME Netgen
   plug-in will be configured for installation to the /usr directory that requires
   root permissions to complete the installation.

4. Build and install:

   % make
   % make install

   This will install SALOME Netgen plug-in to the <installation_directory>
   specified to cmake command on the previous step.

-------------------
Custom installation
-------------------

SALOME Netgen plug-in supports a set of advanced configuration options;
for more details learn CMakeLists.txt file in the root source directory.

You can also use other options of cmake command to customize your installation.
Learn more about available options by typing

   % cmake --help
