gmsh-api 4.13.1

gmsh - API for a great Finite Element Mesher

gmsh_api

simple package to use gmsh via the original gmsh_api (https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh/blob/master/api/gmsh.py, https://gmsh.info/bin/Linux/gmsh-X.Y.Z-Linux64-sdk.tgz).

Usage

# gmsh_api package with some useful classes 
import gmsh_api
# original gmsh-api from gmsh package
import gmsh_api.gmsh as gmsh

gmsh.initialize()

gmsh.option.setNumber("General.Terminal", 1)
gmsh.option.setNumber("Mesh.Algorithm", 5) # delquad
gmsh.option.setNumber("Mesh.RecombineAll", 1)

gmsh.model.add("square")
gmsh.model.geo.addPoint(0, 0, 0, 0.6, 1)
gmsh.model.geo.addPoint(1, 0, 0, 0.6, 2)
gmsh.model.geo.addPoint(1, 1, 0, 0.5, 3)
gmsh.model.geo.addPoint(0, 1, 0, 0.4, 4)
gmsh.model.geo.addLine(1, 2, 1)
gmsh.model.geo.addLine(2, 3, 2)
gmsh.model.geo.addLine(3, 4, 3)

# try automatic assignement of tag
line4 = gmsh.model.geo.addLine(4, 1)
gmsh.model.geo.addCurveLoop([1, 2, 3, line4], 1)
gmsh.model.geo.addPlaneSurface([1], 6)
gmsh.model.geo.synchronize()
gmsh.model.mesh.generate(2)
#gmsh.write("square.unv")

mesh = gmsh_api.Mesh.from_gmsh(gmsh)
print(mesh.nodes)
print(mesh.elements)
