industrial-software-dev

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the complexity of developing professional industrial software such as CAD, CAE, CAM, and EDA tools by providing deep integration guidance for major open-source libraries including OpenCASCADE, OpenSceneGraph, VTK, FreeCAD, and SolveSpace. It eliminates the need to manually search through scattered documentation and source code, offering direct access to proven architecture patterns, API usage examples, and engineering best practices for 3D modeling, rendering, simulation, and visualization.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Open-Source Library Integration: Get detailed guidance for integrating OCCT, OSG, VTK, CGAL, and other industrial libraries into C++ or Python projects with proper memory management and architecture boundaries.
• Source Code Analysis: Learn to read and analyze open-source CAD/CAE codebases like FreeCAD and OpenFOAM to extract reusable design patterns and API usage strategies.
• Architecture & Technical Selection: Access proven architecture patterns for plugin systems, rendering engines, and geometric modeling layers, along with market analysis for commercialization.
• Use Case: A developer building a parametric 3D CAD application can use this Skill to understand how to structure the OCCT geometry kernel integration, design the OSG rendering pipeline, implement Qt-based ribbon UI, and configure AI-assisted development workflows.

Quick Start

Use the industrial-software-dev skill to design a CAD application architecture that integrates OpenCASCADE for geometry modeling and OpenSceneGraph for 3D rendering, then generate the project structure and core interface definitions.
