MSH
.msh file format for geometries
Meshes generated in
Gmsh - a free tool for mesh generation - are saved in the .msh file format.
MESHFREE supports triangular surface meshes of
version 2.2 and 4.1 only.
MESHFREE only reads the linear interpolation of triangulations, i.e. the corner nodes and ignores quadratic or higher order interpolations, ie. higher order nodes.
Define physical entities for the boundary elements in Gmsh and refer to their names in
AliasForGeometryItems to define the properties of the boundary elements.
Good to know:
-
- As *.msh can be also potentially dangerous email attachment under Windows, many spam filters filter these files out, even if they are in a zip-file. One can prevent this by renaming the ending. MESHFREE will still be able to interpret the geometry information.
- MESHFREE only supports the *.msh file formats stated here: https://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#MSH-file-format
