NAME

       netgen — Automatic 3d tetrahedral mesh generator

SYNOPSIS

       netgen [OPTIONS...]  [file.geo]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the netgen and bar       commands.

       This  manual  page  was written for the Debian distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       netgen  is  an  automatic  mesh  generation  tool  for  two  and  three
       dimensions.  Netgen generates triangular or quadrilateral meshes in 2D,
       and tetrahedral meshes in 3D.

       The input for 2D is described by spline curves, and the  input  for  3D
       problems  is either defined by constructive solid geometries, or by the
       standard  STL  file  format.   Netgen   contains   modules   for   mesh
       optimization  and  hierarchical  mesh  refinement.  Curved elements are
       supported of arbitrary order.
