Gmsh - 3D finite element mesh generator with built-in CAD engine and post-processor

       Christophe Geuzaine (cgeuzaine@uliege.be) and Jean-Francois Remacle (jean-francois.remacle@uclouvain.be).

Gmsh is a 3D finite element mesh generator with a build-in CAD engine and post-processor. Its design goal
       is  to  provide  a  fast,  light  and  user-friendly  meshing  tool  with  parametric  input and flexible
       visualization capabilities.

       Gmsh is built around four modules (geometry, mesh, solver and post-processing), which can  be  controlled
       with  the  graphical  user  interface,  from  the  command  line,  using text files written in Gmsh's own
       scripting language (.geo files), or through the C++, C, Python, Julia and Fortran application programming
       interface.
