qmesh3 1.0.5

Finite Element meshes from GIS data.

qmesh3

Qmesh3 has been created as a temporary solution to allow qmesh to function with python3 and QGIS3 within a functional pip install to facilitate users access until the original qmesh updates are released. This repository has been created by Raul Adriaensen, contact email can be found here.

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.

Walk Through

Installation

1. Install gmsh
2. Install qgis, this installs the newest stable version of QGIS.
   • Some people seem to have more success first doing sudo apt update and then sudo apt install qgis. This installs the available QGIS version on the system, which for WSL currently seems to be 3.10.14. For version info pre-installation, see here.
3. Install qmesh3
   • "Not found QGIS" errors are likely caused by multiple python versions installed locally. This can be solved by adding /usr/bin (or the location where your QGIS installation lives) to your PYTHONPATH.

git clone [https://github.com/qmesh3/qmesh3.git](https://github.com/qmesh3/qmesh3.git)
cd qmesh3
python3 -m venv --system-site-packages .qmesh
source .qmesh/bin/activate
pip install .
