\b NETGENPLUGIN plugin is destined for:
|
|
|
|
|
- Meshing 1D, 2D and 3D geometric entities.

|
- Faces are split into triangular elements. Quad-dominant mesh is
|
|
|
|
|
also possible.
|
|
|
|
|
- Solids are split into tetrahedral elements. Pyramids are
|
|
|
|
|
constructed as a transition from quadrangles to tetrahedra.

- Generating 2D meshes from 2D meshes, working without geometrical objects.

|
|
|
|
When working without geometrical objects, Negten requires that the
|
|
|
|
|
input mesh to be a manifold shell.

Native Netgen mesher usually prints a lot of trace output to the terminal
|
|
|
|
|
window. This output is redirected to some log file by the Plugin. It
|
|
|
|
|
is possible to switch off this redirection by setting up
|
|
|
|
|
KEEP_NETGEN_OUTPUT environment variable.
