Generate and read mesh files by using gmsh and given .geo files
Project description
The fc_oogmsh Python package make it possible to generate mesh files from .geo file by using gmsh which must be installed. It’s also possible with the ooGmsh2 or ooGmsh4 class to read the mesh file and to store its contains in more user-friendly form. This package must be regarded as a very simple interface between gmsh files and Python. So you are free to create any objects you want from an ooGmsh2 or ooGmsh4 object. The ooGmsh2 is used to read MSH files stored with format version ‘2.2’ and the ooGmsh4 class is used for formats version ‘4.0’ and ‘4.1’

Documentation is available on fc-oogmsh dedicated web page.
Installation:
The fc_oogmsh Python package is available from the Python Package Index, so to install/upgrade simply type
pip install fc_oogmsh -UConfiguration:
One have to configure the package for using with gmsh. For the default configuration we run under Python:
import fc_oogmsh
fc_oogmsh.configure()The function fc_oogmsh.configure() try to guess where is the gmsh binary. If this command failed or if we want to specify the gmsh binary location, one can use the gmsh option to specify the gmsh binary file with full path.
For example, under Linux:
import fc_oogmsh fc_oogmsh.configure(gmsh='/usr/local/GMSH/gmsh-4.2.0-Linux/bin/gmsh')For example, under Windows:
import fc_oogmsh fc_oogmsh.configure(gmsh=r'C:\Users\toto\GMSH\gmsh-4.2.0-Windows\gmsh.exe')For example, under MacOS:
import fc_oogmsh fc_oogmsh.configure(gmsh='/Users/toto/GMSH/4.2.0/Gmsh.app/Contents/MacOS/gmsh')
Now, it’s possible to run one of the demo functions
import fc_oogmsh
fc_oogmsh.demo02()The output of the demo02() function under Linux is:

*** Build mesh file
[fc_oogmsh] Using input file: /home/cuvelier/Travail/Recherch/python/fc-oogmsh/src/fc_oogmsh/geodir/2d/condenser11.geo

[fc_oogmsh] Use option verbose=3 to see gmsh output

toGlobal: ndarray object[int32], size (3483,)
Entities:<class 'fc_oogmsh.msh.Entities'>
Nodes :<class 'fc_oogmsh.msh.Nodes'>
Elements:<class 'fc_oogmsh.msh.Elements'>
Examples usage:
We use the geometry file condenser11.geo given with the package to generate a 2D mesh file
meshfile=fc_oogmsh.buildmesh2d('condenser11',25,force=True)The output of this command is:
fc_oogmsh] Using input file: /home/cuvelier/Travail/Recherch/python/fc-oogmsh/src/fc_oogmsh/geodir/2d/condenser11.geo [fc_oogmsh] Overwritting mesh file /home/cuvelier/.local/share/fc_oogmsh/meshes/condenser11-25.msh [fc_oogmsh] Use option verbose=3 to see gmsh output
Thereafter one can read the mesh file by using the ooGmsh4 object constructor and print some informations
oGh=fc_oogmsh.ooGmsh4(meshfile) print('*** Print oGh ->') print(oGh)The output of these commands are:
*** Print oGh -> ooGmsh4 object dim : 2 d : 2 types : [1 2] nq : 3483 q : ndarray object[float64], size (2, 3483) toGlobal: ndarray object[int32], size (3483,) Entities:<class 'fc_oogmsh.msh.Entities'> Nodes :<class 'fc_oogmsh.msh.Nodes'> Elements:<class 'fc_oogmsh.msh.Elements'>
