27 This is an implementation of ACIS SAT interface to be used as plugin for
28 SALOME Geometry module. It provides functions to import CAD models
29 stored in ACIS format (*.sat files) into SALOME study and
30 export CAD models from SALOME to the *.sat files.
36 See the INSTALL file for more information.
42 1. Set environment (DO NOT FORGET to correct path)
44 * Set ACISPLUGIN_ROOT_DIR variable that should point to the ACIS plugin
45 installation directory. It is required for SALOME Geometry module to
46 automatically detect a plugin (see APPENDIX below). For example:
50 % setenv ACISPLUGIN_ROOT_DIR /path/to/the/ACISPLUGIN
54 % export ACISPLUGIN_ROOT_DIR=/path/to/the/ACISPLUGIN
56 * Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to point to the OCCT ACIS/SAT XDE product
57 libraries, for example:
61 % setenv ACIS_ROOT_DIR /path/to/the/ACIS-6.9.0
62 % setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ACIS_ROOT_DIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
66 % export ACIS_ROOT_DIR=/path/to/the/ACIS-6.9.0
67 % export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ACIS_ROOT_DIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
69 * OCCT ACIS/SAT XDE product requires also an OCCT license library.
70 Normally OCCT license library is distributed with OCCT ACIS/SAT XDE
71 product, but it can also be distributed separately. In latter
72 case you might need to set-up environment to point to the OCCT
73 license library, as follows:
77 % setenv OCCLICENSE_ROOT_DIR /path/to/the/OCCLicense-6.9.0
78 % setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${OCCLICENSE_ROOT_DIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
82 % export OCCLICENSE_ROOT_DIR=/path/to/the/OCCLicense-6.9.0
83 % export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${OCCLICENSE_ROOT_DIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
85 * Set CSF_SATDefaults variable to point to the OCCT ACIS/SAT XDE product
86 resources directory, for example:
90 % setenv CSF_SATDefaults ${ACIS_ROOT_DIR}/src/XSTEPResourceAdv
94 % export CSF_SATDefaults=${ACIS_ROOT_DIR}/src/XSTEPResourceAdv
98 * Run SALOME and activate Geometry module.
100 * Import the ACIS file:
102 Menu File - Import...
104 In the "Import" dialog box choose file type: ACIS Files ( *.sat ).
105 Browse and select the file and click "Open" button. New object (shape)
106 will appears in the SALOME object browser.
108 * Export to the ACIS file:
110 Select a shape in the SALOME object browser.
112 Menu File - Export...
114 In the "Export" dialog box choose file type: ACIS Files ( *.sat ).
115 Enter the file name and click "Save" button.

127 Since SALOME version 7.4.0, Geometry module implements a mechanism to
128 automatically detect plugins. To set-up the plug-in to SALOME Geometry
129 module, it is just necessary to set ACISPLUGIN_ROOT_DIR environment
130 variable to point to the installation directory of ACIS plugin as described
131 in paragraph "Usage" above.
133 In earlier versions of SALOME there is no such mechanism. To use ACIS
134 plugin within SALOME Geometry module, it is necessary to specify
135 GEOM_ENGINE_RESOURCES_DIR environment variable to point to the ACIS
136 plugin's resources directory, for example:
140 % setenv GEOM_ENGINE_RESOURCES_DIR ${ACISPLUGIN_ROOT_DIR}/share/salome/resources/acisplugin
144 % export GEOM_ENGINE_RESOURCES_DIR=${ACISPLUGIN_ROOT_DIR}/share/salome/resources/acisplugin
