I'm wondering if Open Cascade is the right choice for my project?! I hope people with experience give me some advice.
I plan a physical simulation software. It should be able to process at will formed bodies. As output I need the surfaces and edges, which can be seen from a line of sight and additionally I need the information which surfaces can see each other.
Thanx very much for any help, Reinhard

From my point of view, it would fit perfect to your needs. But be aware: If you are not familiar, it maybe costs you a lot of time to get into it, depending on your experience.

I agree,
For instance, i have made a training course (for my 4th study year) on Open cascade for 4 month by myself and i know only some parts at my level. When i started i didn t know anything about 3D programming and only 4 months of real experience in C++. I would still consider myself as a beginner at this state with OpenCascade.
Maybe u should hire someone to study Open cascade on a training to know which parts of OpenCascade you would need and which techniques of implementation you should use (choice between using AIS_Shape or derivating directly AIS_IntercativeObject is an example). It's a wide library and some parts could not be useful for your project.
