Other usage issues

Hello,

is there a description of the modules/toolkits shipped with OpenCascade somewhere? For example names like TKBO are not self-explaining. A few sentences what the module can be used for would be great. Has anyone found anything like that? The documentation does not give an overview as far as I have seen.

Thank you, bye,
Benjamin

Have a look at the official manuals (the pdf files in the doc directory). They introduce many important concepts of Open CASCADE.
And have a look here http://freeengineer.org/occbrowse.html
Also the inofficial Wiki (http://opencascade.wikidot.com/) might be helpful to you. An overview over all packages was started there (http://opencascade.wikidot.com/occpackages) but it's unfinished yet.
