<h2><a name="Description"></a>Description</h2>
Gmsh is an automatic 3D finite element grid generator 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.
<p>
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.
<p>
See Gmsh's reference manual for a more thorough <a
href="/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh_2.html">overview of Gmsh's
capabilities</a>.
