Summary0028025: Bad triangulation if step file was exported with write.surfacecurve.mode = 0
DescriptionWhen the appended solid is exported to STEP, then imported back to OCCT and meshed, the triangulation looks strange at a surface of revolution if the step file was exported with write.surfacecurve.mode = 0.

With write.surfacecurve.mode = 1, there are no problems.

Could you check what is the problem here? I mean, is it a visualization/meshing problem or a STEP export problem?

The write.surfacecurve.mode parameter indicates whether parametric curves (curves in parametric space of surface) should be written into the STEP file.
It was proposed in 0025654 to change its default value to 0 because it leads to better performance. I don't know why this hasn't been integrated, yet.

Dear Timo,

could you please attach reference STEP file?

I had appended the brep file, so with the test script you should have been able to produce the step files.
Now, I added a step file with and one without pcurves.

Thank you a lot for the STEPs, my fault. Anyway, keeping reference files attached could help to reproduce the problem despite of possible changes in XDE. We will check the case.

Best regards.

Dear Andrey,

taking into account parametric representations shown on the attached screenshots withPCurves2d.png and withoutPCurves2d.png, I suppose that real problem is not related to BRepMesh, but to geometry of the model itself and should be fixed during pcurves generation stage, so moved to Shape Healing category.

In addition to the fact that such inconsistencies will mostly probable lead to failures of various modelling algorithms, there is no obvious robust and performant solution that could come to mind in order to fix visual results caused by such inconsistencies.

Incorrect pcurves lead to appearance of twisted areas represented by leaves at the bottom part of withoutPCurves2d.png causing distribution of 3d points so they visually lie outside boundaries of flat face.

As it can be seen, newly generated pcurves are incorrect according to bopargcheck:

param write.surfacecurve.mode 0
testreadstep s_withoutPCurves.stp p
explode p f

bopargcheck p_1 #F
#Faulties, that can not be treated by BOP, are detected.
