ForCAD: A parallel Fortran library for geometric modeling using NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines).
ForCAD supports B-Spline, NURBS, Bezier, and Rational Bezier curves, surfaces, and volumes.

), Intel Fortran Compiler (ifx/ifort
) or NVIDIA HPC SDK Fortran compiler (nvfortran
).Clone the ForCAD repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/gha3mi/forcad.git
cd forcad
To install PyVista, run the following command:
pip install pyvista
fpm run --example <file name excluding the .f90 extension>
After executing the examples, .vtk
files will be generated in the vtk
directory. To visualize these files, a show()
method is provided which utilizes PyVista. Alternatively, other visualization tools like ParaView can also be used.
If you want to use ForCAD as a dependency in your own fpm project,
you can easily include it by adding the following line to your fpm.toml
file:
[dependencies]
forcad = {git="https://github.com/gha3mi/forcad.git"}
The most up-to-date API documentation for the master branch is available here. To generate the API documentation for ForCAD using ford run the following command:
ford ford.yml
For a detailed roadmap outlining upcoming features and enhancements, please refer to ROADMAP.md.
