COMPAS is an open source toolbox for developing computational solutions in AEC. It provides a base framework and a collection of extensions related to specific AEC-related tasks, problems, processes...
The base framework consists of
- a main library;
- bindings for CGAL, libigl, OCC, gmsh, and ShapeOp;
- UI and visualisation packages;
- CAD integrations for Rhino/GH and Blender; and
- a collection of developer tools.
COMPAS is Python-based and platform and CAD-software independent.
The simplest way to get started with COMPAS is to install the "meta package" compas_framework in a virtual environment with pip.
pip install compas_frameworkThis will install all of the packages of the base framework, except for the binding for OCC (compas_occ).
If you are planning to work with Nurbs and Breps outside of Rhino, you should install compas_occ as well.
conda create -n comaps-dev -c conda-forge compas_occ
conda activate compas_dev
pip install compas_frameworkFor more information about the packages of the base framework, check out the documentation of compas_framework.
