The COMPAS framework
Project description
The COMPAS framework
The COMPAS framework is an open-source, Python-based framework for computational research and collaboration in architecture, engineering and digital fabrication.
The main library consists of a core package (compas) and several additional packages for integration of the core functionality in CAD software (compas_blender, compas_rhino, compas_ghpython).
The core package defines all real functionality. The CAD packages simply provide a unified framework for processing, visualising, and interacting with geometry and datastructures, and for building user interfaces in different CAD software.
The complete documentation of the compas framework is available at https://compas-dev.github.io/.
Getting Started
The recommended way to install COMPAS is to use Anaconda/conda:
$ conda config --add channels conda-forge
$ conda install COMPAS
But it can also be installed using pip
:
$ pip install COMPAS
Once installed, you can verify your setup. Start Python from the command line and run the following:
>>> import compas
>>> import compas_rhino
>>> import compas_blender
>>> import compas_ghpython
Optionally, you can also install from source. Check the documentation for more details.
