Thank for all the suggestions, SolveSpace looks very nice! I'm checking it out at the moment. GPLV3 is acceptable. I'll also have a look at FreeCAD's PlaneGCS definitely.

Ah, 🤦‍♂️ Was too hasty with the post, it seems it DOES have it: https://dev.opencascade.org/doc/overview/html/occt_user_guides__modeling_algos.html#occt_modalg_2_4 Anyway, will experiment with it a bit.

Hi all, Has any of you had any experience with Geometric constraint solvers? As far as I know OCCT doesn't have this implemented so I'm wondering how involved such a system would be for 2D and 3D. FreeCAD has one implemented in the Sketcher module and for the most part I found it working...

Ah yea, I have some experience with netgen, but very limited. I remember I stopped using it at one point couple of years ago when I tried to merge two imported meshes for some experiments and didn't manage it. I haven't really been active in this area for quite some time anyway so I haven't...

Yea, good point. Will stick to gmsh for mesh generation, with OCAF for geometry meta-data storage (boundaries, materials, ...) and AIS for marking up the geometry. Was hoping that OCC has a good "enough" mesher for the coarse mesh, but it doesn't look like it.

Hello, I'm a new user of OCC and I found Quaoar's lessons to be very helpful, so big thanks for that! I also found your blog and quite enjoyed reading through it. Some keywords to describe my interests would be: Simulations based on Finite Element method, CAD, Electrodynamics (and statics)...
