Gmsh - three-dimensional finite element mesh generator with built-in pre- and post-processing facilities.

Gmsh is an automatic 3D finite element grid generator (primarily Delaunay) with a build-in CAD engine and post-processor. Its design goal is to provide a simple meshing tool for academic problems with parametric input and advanced visualization capabilities.

Gmsh is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver and post-processing. The specification of any input to these modules is done either interactively using the graphical user interface or in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own scripting language.

What's New:
added support for second order (curved) elements in
post-processor;
new version (1.4) of post-processing file formats;
new stippling options for 2D plots;
removed limit on allowed number of files on command line;
all "Combine" operations are now available in the parser;
changed View.ArrowLocation into View.GlyphLocation;
optimized memory usage when loading many (>1) views;
optimized loading and drawing of line meshes and 2D iso views;
optimized handling of meshes with large number of physical entities;
optimized vertex array creation for large post-processing views on
Windows/Cygwin;
removed Discrete Line and Discrete Surface commands (the same functionality can now be obtained by simply loading a mesh in .msh format);
fixed coloring by mesh partition; added option to light wireframe meshes and views;
new "mesh statistics" export format;
new full-quad recombine option;
new Plugin(ModulusPhase);
hexas and prisms are now always saved with positive volume;
improved interactive entity selection;
new experimental Tetgen integration;
new experimental STL remeshing algorithm;
various small bug fixes and improvements.
