qmesh3 1.0.3

Finite Element meshes from GIS data.

Note: qmesh3 has been created as a temporary solution to allow qmesh to be installed again using pip to facilitate users access until the original qmesh updates are released.

qmesh is a software package for creating high-quality meshes using QGIS and Gmsh. The meshes can be used in finite element numerical models such as TELEMAC, Fluidity and Thetis. For more information please visit the project website.

Development, Maintenance and Licence

qmesh was developed and is maintained by Alexandros Avdis and Jon Hill. Please see file AUTHORS.md for more information.

qmesh is an open-source project distributed under the GNU General Public Licence v3 (GPL v3). The file LICENCE contains a complete copy of the licence.

The source code is freely available to download and adapt, under the conditions stated in the LICENCE file. However, we follow a closed-development approach, where maintenance and development is carried out by the package originators. We have opted for this approach to limit the resources needed for development: A larger development team necessitates larger management structures and significant CI/CD expenditure. Larger management structures will absorb time intended for other exciting and useful research. CI/CD expenditure could threaten our aim to offer a focused package, at no monetary costs to the users.
