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.
