Gmsh is a powerful mesh generation tool with a scripting language that is notoriously hard to write.
The goal of PyGmsh is to combine the power of Gmsh with the versatility of Python and to provide useful abstractions from the Gmsh scripting language so you can create complex geometries more easily.
To create the above mesh, simply do
import pygmsh as pg
import numpy as np
geom = pg.Geometry()
# Draw a cross.
poly = geom.add_polygon([
[0.0, 0.5, 0.0],
[-0.1, 0.1, 0.0],
[-0.5, 0.0, 0.0],
[-0.1, -0.1, 0.0],
[0.0, -0.5, 0.0],
[0.1, -0.1, 0.0],
[0.5, 0.0, 0.0],
[0.1, 0.1, 0.0]
],
lcar=0.05
)
axis = [0, 0, 1]
geom.extrude(
'Surface{%s}' % poly,
translation_axis=axis,
rotation_axis=axis,
point_on_axis=[0, 0, 0],
angle=2.0 / 6.0 * np.pi
)
points, cells = pg.generate_mesh(geom)to retrieve all points and cells of the mesh for the specified geometry. To store the mesh, you can use meshio; for example
import meshio
meshio.write('test.vtu', points, cells)The output file can be visualized with various tools, e.g., ParaView.
You will find the above mesh in the directory test/examples/ along with other small examples.
Installation

pip install pygmsh -U
to upgrade.
Manual installation
Download PyGmsh from PyPi or GitHub and install it with
python setup.py install
Requirements
PyGmsh depends on
and, obviously, Gmsh.
Usage
Just
import pygmsh as pg
and make use of all the goodies the module provides. The documentation and the examples under test/examples/ might inspire you.
