GBS is header library for computing bspline curves and surfaces.

GBS is compatible with OpenCASCADE, curves and surfaces can be converted to OpenCASCADE's objects.

Example of point cloud approximation:

Example of points surface interpolation:

Example of curve-surface intersection:

Example of loft-surface creation:

Example of surface approximation of points:

Example of curve 2d variable offset:

Example of curve on surface:

Example of python code to interpolate points

    pts = [
        [0.,0.,0],
        [0.,0.,1],
        [1.,0.,0.5],
        [1.,1.,1]
    ]
    constraints = []
    for p in pts:
        constraints.append([p])

    degree = 2

    crv = gbs.interpolate_cn_3d_d(
        constraints,
        degree,
        gbs.KnotsCalcMode.CHORD_LENGTH
    )

For now, this lib is to be used inside a conda environment with the following package installed:

• nlopt
• eigen3
• boost >= 1.74

The optional module gbs-occt requires the additional package:

• occt >=7.4.0

The optional module render requires the additional package:

• vtk >=9.0

The python bindings requires the additional package:

• pybind11

The test library needs:

• gtest
• occt>=7.4.0
• sundials

Warning tests relative to performances evaluation should be run in release mode

As GBS base is a header library it doesn’t need compilation.

If one needs to compile the optional module gbs-occt, -DUSE_OCCT_UTILS:BOOL=TRUE shall be added to cmake command. If one needs to compile the optional module render, -DUSE_RENDER:BOOL=TRUE shall be added to cmake command. If one needs to compile the optional module python-bindings, -DUSE_PYTHON_BINDINGS=TRUE shall be added to cmake command.

The full test suite, which require the optional module gbs-occt, please add -DGBS_BUILD_TESTS:BOOL=TRUE to the cmake command.
