This directory contains a (very) slightly modified version of Joachim
3
Sch\"oberl's NETGEN mesh generator:
5
- only (part of the) the libsrc directory was kept from the original
8
- some of the makefiles were changed
10
- parts of interface/nglib.cpp were #ifdef'd to remove the dependency
11
towards netgen's CAD engine
13
All the changes are marked with "MODIFIED FOR GMSH" in the source code
15

From NETGEN's documentation:
24
NETGEN is an automatic mesh generation tool for two and three
25
dimensions. Netgen is open source under the conditions of the LGPL.
26
It comes as stand alone programme with graphical user interface, or as
27
C++ library to be linked into an other application. Netgen is
28
available for Unix/Linux and Windows 98/NT. Netgen generates
29
triangular or quadrilateral meshes in 2D, and tetrahedral meshes in
30
3D. The input for 2D is described by spline curves, and the input for
31
3D problems is either defined by constructive solid geometries (CSG)
32
or by the standard STL file format. NETGEN contains modules for mesh
33
optimization and hierarchical mesh refinement. Curved elements are
34
supported of arbitrary order.
39
The NETGEN project was started 1994 in the master's programme of
40
Joachim Sch\"oberl, under supervision of Prof. Ulrich Langer, at the
41
Department of Computational Mathematics and Optimization, University
42
Linz, Austria. Its further development was supported by the Austrian
43
science Fund ``Fonds zur F\"orderung der wissenschaftlichen
44
Forschung'' (http://www.fwf.ac.at) under projects P 10643-TEC and SFB
45
1306. The current home of Netgen is the Start project ``hp-FEM''
46
(http://www.hpfem.jku.at) granted by the FWF.

NETGEN is available from the WEB at http://www.hpfem.jku.at/netgen
56
You find there source code releases for Linux/Unix/Windows, as well
57
as compiled versions for Windows. You can use CVS access to receive
58
the most up to date version.
