Hi,
I am working on a VS project where I am importing STEP or IGES, and using Netgen (ver. 4.9.11) to mesh them to get tetrahedrons. When I mesh a single solid, it work well, but for multiple solids, it gives a problem for me. The mesh from multiple solids is not conformal. In other words, those points on a shared surface are not matched. If I use CGS format, Netgen gives conformal mesh, but if I use STEP or IGES, Netgen gives non-conformal mesh. The following is an example of CGS format which gives conformal mesh.
algebraic3d
solid cube1 = orthobrick (0, 0, 0; 3, 3, 1);
solid cube2 = orthobrick (1, 1, 1; 2, 2, 2);
tlo cube1 -col=[1,0,0];
tlo cube2 -col=[0,0,1];
How can I get a conformal mesh using STEP or IGES?
Is there any special thing on STEP or IGES to get conformal mesh?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe NetGen don't support STEP or IGES like this.

Can you please tell me how to generate a mesh with Netgen through Opencascade ?

I have used Netgen ver. 4.9.11 where testng folder includes a VC Project file.
It includes all necessary setting for compilation and linking.
You can also see how to call mesher using OCC in "testng.cpp".
Best,
