Details
1. The released version is compiled on a 32-bit Linux kernel version 2.6.9. The binary code is in the folder bin, and the folder example includes some test cases. The data file has a suffix of .qbem.
Running syntax
$ QBEM < filename> [-l1|-l2] [-v CutX_Num CutY_Num] [-o < outputfile> ]
"-l1" means the fast running mode where fewer boundary elements are partitioned.
"-l2" means the accurate running mode where denser element partition is employed.
"-v" is used to manually indicate the QMM cutting numbers.
