Partner Products: Open CASCADE Technology

OPEN CASCADE SAS is a services company offering development of specialized software for engineering tasks solution. OPEN CASCADE is a subsidiary of Euriware (France), member of the Areva group.

OPEN CASCADE relies on an international team of about 100 skilled software developers, engineering experts, experienced consultants and project managers with proven competence in areas of 3D modeling and numerical simulation, CAD data exchange, visualization and graphic user interface.

The company has over 25 years of experience in the market.

OPEN CASCADE is primarily known for its Open Source platforms the company has been maintaining, improving and distributing free of charge for many years:

• Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) for 3D surface and solid modeling, visualization, data exchange and rapid application development
• SALOME - free software that provides a generic platform for Pre- and Post-Processing for numerical simulation

OPEN CASCADE clients win thanks to Open Source approach – they always have full access to the source code, have to purchase no licenses and have to pay no license fees or royalties, they invest only into solution of their particular tasks. And they get cost savings too which are even higher in a long perspective.

Open CASCADE Technology is a software development platform freely available in open source. It includes components for 3D surface and solid modeling, visualization, data exchange and rapid application development. Open CASCADE Technology can be best applied in development of numerical simulation software including CAD/CAM/CAE, AEC and GIS, as well as PDM applications.

New versions of the platform are released on a regular basis. The structure of the platform is constantly revised, becoming much easier to use. All modules of the platform undergo regular improvements, new algorithms are added or optimized, support of new data formats and operational platforms is introduced in every new release of Open CASCADE Technology capitalizing the investments of OPEN CASCADE company, its Customers and OCCT community into the evolution of this Open Source platform.

SALOME is open source software that provides a generic platform for Pre- and Post-Processing for numerical simulation. It is based on an open and flexible architecture made of reusable components. SALOME can be used as standalone application for generation of CAD models, their preparation for numerical calculations and post-processing of the calculation results. SALOME can also be used as a platform for integration of external third-party numerical codes to produce a new application for the full life-cycle management of CAD models.

Many companies choose to develop their solutions on the basis of OPEN CASCADE software platforms. They either use their own resources or ask OPEN CASCADE team to assist them, with Technical Support and Turn-key specific development services.
