Its design goal is to provide +a fast, light and user-friendly meshing tool with parametric input +and advanced visualization capabilities. 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, in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own +scripting language (.geo files), or using the C++, C, Python or Julia +Application Programming Interface (API). + +See this general presentation for a high-level overview of Gmsh +and recent developments, the screencasts for a quick tour of Gmsh's +graphical user interface, and the reference manual for a more thorough +overview of Gmsh's capabilities, some frequently asked questions and +the documentation of the C++, C, Python and Julia API. + +The source code repository contains many examples written using both +the built-in script language (see e.g. the tutorials and demos) and +the API. + +Note: +If you want to build Getdp with Gmsh support is necessary to compile +also a static gmsh library (libgmsh.a). This can be done by passing +BUILDSTATICLIB=yes +prior to run gmsh.SlackBuild +In that case, you will also need to recompile Getdp when Gmsh is +updated. |
