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.
