Gmsh Geometry Files for Meshing#

This directory contains the Gmsh .geo files used to generate the finite element meshes for all simulations presented in the paper. These geometry scripts are essential for reproducing the exact specimen models analyzed in the study.

For detailed information on Gmsh and its scripting language, please refer to the official Gmsh documentation.

To generate a 2D mesh from a .geo file, you can use the following command in your terminal:

gmsh your_file.geo -2 -o your_mesh.msh

Command Breakdown:

  • gmsh your_file.geo: Runs Gmsh on your specified geometry file.

  • -2: Instructs Gmsh to generate a 2D mesh.

  • -o your_mesh.msh: Specifies the output file name for the generated mesh.

This command will create a .msh file that can be used in the finite element simulations.
