Meshing, Grid generatorDescription
Gmsh is a free 3D finite element grid 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 advanced visualization capabilities. Gmsh is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver and post-processing. The specification of any input to these modules is done either interactively using the graphical user interface or in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own scripting language.Available versions (Euler, old software stack)

How to submit a job
You can submit a gmsh job in batch mode with the following command:bsub [LSF options] "gmsh [gmsh options]"Here you need to replace [gmsh options] with gmsh command line options (please run gmsh -h for getting a list of all command line options) and [LSF options] with LSF parameters for the resource requirements of the job. Please find a documentation about the parameters of bsub on the wiki page about the batch system.
Example
As an example for using gmsh, we are going to create a simple two-dimensional mesh.[leonhard@euler09 ~]$ cat t1.geo lc = 1e-2; Point(1) = {0, 0, 0, lc}; Point(2) = {.1, 0, 0, lc} ; Point(3) = {.1, .3, 0, lc} ; Point(4) = {0, .3, 0, lc} ; Line(1) = {1,2} ; Line(2) = {3,2} ; Line(3) = {3,4} ; Line(4) = {4,1} ; Line Loop(1) = {4,1,-2,3} ; Plane Surface(1) = {1} ; Physical Point(1) = {1,2} ; MY_LINE = 2; Physical Line(MY_LINE) = {1,2} ; Physical Line("My second line (automatic physical id)") = {3} ; Physical Line("My third line (physical id 5)", 5) = {4} ; Physical Surface("My surface") = {1} ; [leonhard@euler09 ~]$ module load gcc/4.8.2 python/2.7.6 gmsh/2.12 Autoloading openblas/0.2.13_seq [leonhard@euler09 ~]$ bsub -n 1 -W 0:10 -R "rusage[mem=100]" "gmsh t1.geo -2" Generic job.
