2 About SALOME Netgen plug-in
3 ***************************
5 SALOME Netgen plug-in is destined for:
6 - Meshing 1D, 2D and 3D geometric entities.
7 - Splitting faces into triangular elements (quad-dominant mesh is also possible).
8 - Splitting solids into tetrahedral elements (pyramids are constructed as a
9 transition from quadrangles to tetrahedra).
10 - Generating 3D meshes from 2D meshes, working without geometrical objects.
12 SALOME Netgen plug-in is integrated into SALOME platform via the SALOME Mesh

52 Note: SALOME Netgen plug-in needs SALOME KERNEL, SALOME GUI, SALOME Geometry and
53 SALOME Mesh as pre-requisites.
59 The build procedure of the SALOME platform is implemented with CMake.
60 In order to build the plug-in you have to do the following actions:
62 1. Set up environment for pre-requisites (see "Pre-requisites" section above).
64 2. Create a build directory:
66 % mkdir NETGENPLUGIN_BUILD
68 3. Configure the build procedure:
70 % cd NETGENPLUGIN_BUILD
71 % cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<mode> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<installation_directory> <path_to_src_dir>
74 - <mode> is either Release or Debug (default: Release);
75 - <installation_directory> is a destination folder to install SALOME Netgen
76 plug-in (default: /usr);
77 - <path_to_src_dir> is a path to the SALOME Netgen plug-in sources directory.
79 Note: by default (if CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option is not given), SALOME Netgen
80 plug-in will be configured for installation to the /usr directory that requires
81 root permissions to complete the installation.
88 This will install SALOME Netgen plug-in to the <installation_directory>
89 specified to cmake command on the previous step.
95 SALOME Netgen plug-in supports a set of advanced configuration options;
96 for more details learn CMakeLists.txt file in the root source directory.
98 You can also use other options of cmake command to customize your installation.
