Gmsh description
An automatic 3D finite element grid generator (primarily Delaunay) with a build-in CAD engine and post-processor

Gmsh is an automatic 3D finite element grid generator (primarily Delaunay) with a build-in CAD engine and post-processor. Its design goal is to provide a simple meshing tool for academic problems with parametric input and advanced visualization capabilities.

Gmsh is a CAD software that helps you to design 3D elements.

Gmsh is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver and post-processing. The specification of any input to these modules is done either interactively using the graphical user interface or in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own scripting language.

What's New in This Release:

· added support for second order (curved) elements in
· post-processor;
· new version (1.4) of post-processing file formats;
· new stippling options for 2D plots;
· removed limit on allowed number of
· files on command line;
· all "Combine" operations are now available in
· the parser;
· changed View.ArrowLocation into View.GlyphLocation;
· optimized memory usage when loading many (>1000) views;
· optimized loading and drawing of line meshes and 2D iso views;
· optimized handling of meshes with large number of physical entities; optimized vertex array creation for large post-processing views on
· Windows/Cygwin;
· removed Discrete Line and Discrete Surface commands
· (the same functionality can now be obtained by simply loading a mesh
· in .msh format);
· fixed coloring by mesh partition;
· added option to light wireframe meshes and views;
· new "mesh statistics" export format;
· new full-quad recombine option;
· new Plugin(ModulusPhase);
· hexas and prisms are now always saved with positive volume;
· improved interactive entity selection;
· new experimental Tetgen integration;
· new experimental STL remeshing algorithm;
· various small bug fixes and improvements.
