Its design goal is to provide a fast, light and user-friendly meshing tool with parametric input and flexible visual- ization capabilities. Gmsh is built around four modules (geometry, mesh, solver and post-pro- cessing), which can be controlled with the graphical user interface, from the command line, using text files written in Gmsh's own scripting language (.geo files), or through the C++, C, Python, Julia and Fortran application programming interface. GEOMETRY OPTIONS -0 Output model, then exit. -tol float set geometrical tolerance. MESH OPTIONS -1, -2, -3 perform 1D, 2D or 3D mesh generation, then exit. -o file specify output file name. -format string set output mesh format (auto, msh, msh1, msh2, msh4, unv, vrml, stl, mesh, bdf, med, ...). -bin use binary format when available. -saveall save all elements (discard physical group definitions) -algo string select mesh algorithm (meshadapt, del2d, front2d, del3d, front3d, hxt, ...). -parametric save nodes with their parametric coordinates. -part int partition the mesh after batch mesh generation. -smooth int set number of mesh smoothing steps. -order int set mesh order. -clscale float set global mesh element size scaling factor. -clmin float set minimum mesh element size. -clmax float set maximum mesh element size. -rand float set random perturbation factor. -bgm file load the post-processing view in file as the current background mesh. -check perform various consistency checks on mesh. POST-PROCESSING OPTIONS -combine combine input views into multi-time-step ones. DISPLAY OPTIONS -n hide all meshes and post-processing views on startup. -fontsize int specify the font size for the GUI. -display string specify display. OTHER OPTIONS - parse input files, then exit. -new create new model before merge next file. -merge merge next files. -open ppen next files. -a, -g, -m, -s, -p start in automatic, geometry, mesh, solver or post-processing mode. -pid print pid on stdout. -listen string always listen to incoming connection requests on the given socket (a default socket is used if not specified). -v int set verbosity level. -nopopup don't popup dialog windows in scripts. -setnumber name value set constant number name=value -setstring name value set constant string name=value -string string parse option string at startup. -option file parse option file at startup. -convert files Convert files into latest binary formats, then exit. -version show version number. -info show detailed version information. -help show help message.
