Elisabetta, I'm also curious on the python interface and heard about it, but have never used it. From what you write though, it may be sufficient to do this in a python script:
#!/usr/bin/python from subprocess import call # you script that writes "input.geo" # ... # after writing the geo file, call gmsh call(["gmsh", "-2", "-order 2", "input.geo", "-o", "out.msh"]) Alternatively, you can put everything into a (e.g.) bash script (if you use Linux) #!/bin/bash python createGeometry.py # writes "input.geo" gmsh -2 input.geo -o out.msh hope this helps -----Original Message----- From: gmsh-boun...@ace20.montefiore.ulg.ac.be [mailto:gmsh-boun...@ace20.montefiore.ulg.ac.be] On Behalf Of Elisabetta Sieni Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 11:58 AM To: gmsh@geuz.org Subject: [Gmsh] gmsh and python Dear gmsh developper, I would use gmsh to implement my project. I would to use my code written in Python to run gmsh to build the geometry and the mesh of my problem domain and after save results. I see that is possible to interface gmsh and python script. Currently I written a phyton script that writes the .geo file to build my geometry. I would like to known how I can open gmsh and run my gmsh-files in gmsh using python. Where I can find a tutorial with commands to interface python and gmsh?
