Hello Forum!
I have an existing project which successfully uses the OpenCascade 7.5.0 library. But when I tried to use OpenCascade to triangulate different TopoDS_Shape from .STEP files I have figured out that OpenCascade triangulation is not good for solvers algorithms so I have decided to include Netgen 6.2.2204 in my project. I have successfully built netgen library with cmake-gui application using this guide: http://cupofcad.com/2021/07/30/netgen-building-with-open-cascade-technol... but I can't find any documentation or code example for triangulating TopoDS_Shape using Netgen 6.2.2204. All code examples which I have found were too legacy for the last Netgen version.
I want to summarize, that my goal is to triangulate different types of TopoDS_Shape(face, shell, solid, compsolid) and get a result similar to what I do with Poly_Triangulation using OpenCascade.
All of your help is valuable to me.

As far as I know Salome platform can use Netgen to triangulate opencascade shapes. I am not sure as this knowledge is from the past, many years ago. Anyway, it is open source and you can see how it is done there.

Hi Mikhail Sazonov!
Thank you for your reply. I will definitely take a look at Salome platform.
