COMPAS is an open source toolbox for developing computational solutions in AEC. It provides a base framework and a collection of extensions related to specific AEC-related tasks, problems, processes...

The base framework consists of

• a main library;
• bindings for CGAL, libigl, OCC, gmsh, and ShapeOp;
• UI and visualisation packages;
• CAD integrations for Rhino/GH and Blender; and
• a collection of developer tools.

COMPAS is Python-based and platform and CAD-software independent. The simplest way to get started with COMPAS is to install the "meta package" compas_framework in a virtual environment with pip.

pip install compas_framework

This will install all of the packages of the base framework, except for the binding for OCC (compas_occ). If you are planning to work with Nurbs and Breps outside of Rhino, you should install compas_occ as well.

conda create -n comaps-dev -c conda-forge compas_occ
conda activate compas_dev
pip install compas_framework
