<h2> <a name="1"></a>1. Introduction</h2>
|
|
All hypotheses and algorithms are available in SMESH module via plugin mechanism.
|
|
Such approach allows easily to introduce new hypotheses and algorithms types
|
|
to the application. Also, it makes possible the customization of available
|
|
hypotheses and algorithms list for different users without recompilation
|
|
of sources.<br>
|
|
The goal of this document is to describe the process of creation external
|
|
mesher plugins.

|
|
|
|
<h3>
|
|
<h3> <a name="2_1"></a>2.1. <small>Mesher plugin package</small></h3>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Create your mesher plugin package which will contain the sources files, e.g.
|
|
MyMesherPlugin.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|

|
|
<h3><a name="2_2"></a>2.2. List of available hypotheses and algorithms</h3>
|
|
Create XML file to describe all algorithms and hypotheses, provided by your
|
|
plugin package (see SMESH_SRC/resources/SMESH_Meshers.xml for example).<br>

Please, pay attention that StdMeshers should also be included into this environment

variable, if you want to use standard hypotheses/algorithms, provided with

SMESH module.<br>
