The

Python package make it possible to generate mesh ﬁles from .geo ﬁle by using gmsh. It’s also possible with the ooGmsh class to read the mesh ﬁle and to store its contains in more user-friendly form. This package must be regarded as a very simple interface between gmsh ﬁles and Python. So you are free to create any data structure or object you want from an ooGmsh object.

Requirements

This package needs

gmsh, A three-dimensional ﬁnite element mesh generator with built-in pre- and post-processing facilities to be installed.
Python 2 or 3

Installation under Linux

For an installation without graphic tools which isolated to the current user, one can do :
$ pip install --user fc_oogmsh
For an installation without graphic tools for all users, one can do :
$ sudo pip install fc_oogmsh

For Python 3 installation, pip3 must be used instead of pip.

To enable the graphic tools one has to install at least one of these packages. For example, to use the fc-matplotlib4mesh package :

$ pip install --user fc_oogmsh[matplotlib4mesh]

One can also install the two packages fc-matplotlib4mesh and fc-mayavi4mesh :

$ pip install --user fc_oogmsh[matplotlib4mesh,mayavi4mesh]

Conﬁguration

By default, the gmsh binary supposed to be in your path. To specify a speciﬁc location one can use the fc_oogmsh.sys.configure function

Python Console

import fc_oogmsh
fc_oogmsh.sys.configure(gmsh_bin=’<PATH_TO_GMSH>/gmsh’)

where <PATH_TO_GMSH> is the path to the gmsh binary ﬁle.
