Overview. Gmsh is a three- dimensional finite element grid generator with a. CAD engine and post- processor. Its design goal is to provide. Gmsh is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver and.
All geometrical, mesh, solver and post- processing. GUI) or in text files using Gmsh’s own scripting. Interactive actions generate language bits in the input. This makes it possible to automate all. A brief. description of the four modules is given hereafter. Geometry: geometrical entity definition.
Gmsh uses a boundary representation (“BRep”) to describe geometries. Models are created in a bottom- up flow by successively defining points.
Groups of geometrical entities (called. Gmsh’s scripting language allows all geometrical. Mesh: finite element mesh generation. A finite element mesh is a tessellation of a given subset of the. Gmsh’s case: lines, triangles, quadrangles, tetrahedra. All the finite element meshes produced by Gmsh are considered. This implies that the elementary geometrical.
The mesh generation is performed in the same bottom- up flow as the. In this process, the mesh of an entity is only. For example, in three.
D mesh only if the surface is part of. D mesh only if the curve. D. mesh only if this point is connected to a curve, itself part of the. This. automatically assures the conformity of the mesh when, for example, two. But this also implies that the. Miscellaneous mesh commands). Every meshing step is.
This size field can be uniform, specified by values associated. For each meshing step, all structured mesh directives are executed.
Solver: external solver interface. External solvers can be interfaced with Gmsh through Unix or TCP/IP.
Gmsh’s. post- processing module. The default solver interfaced with Gmsh is Get. DP. (http: //getdp. Examples on how to interface other solvers. Post- processing: scalar, vector and tensor field visualization.
Gmsh can load and manipulate multiple post- processing scalar, vector or. Scalar fields are. Post- processing functions include section computation, offset.
All the. post- processing options can be accessed either interactively or through. Scripting permits to automate all. User- defined operations can also be performed on.

Gmsh is not a multi- bloc mesh generator: all meshes produced by Gmsh are. Gmsh’s user interface is only exposing a limited number of the available. Gmsh’s scripting language is quite limited, providing only very crude. We will. at some point create a C API so that you can access Gmsh features with.

If you think you have found a bug in Gmsh, you can report it by email to. Gmsh mailing list at gmsh@onelab. Please send as precise a description of the problem.
Don’t. forget to mention both the version of Gmsh and the version of your. Command- line options to see how to get this. See Frequently asked questions, and the. How to read this reference manual? Gmsh can be used at three levels.

The aim of the reference manual is to explain everything you need to use. Gmsh at the second level, i. A Gmsh script file is an ASCII text file that contains instructions in.

API is available yet; a good starting point is Source code structure, which gives a short introduction to Gmsh’s internal source. Then have a look e. To build the library see the instructions.
