Hello Todd,
looking at the documentation you will find useful command. You may have a look
at the following :delete model; I add it at the beginning of every geo file
merge file.geo;You can set environment settings in the geo file also (mesh
size, mesh algorithm, visibility of node etc...).I suggest you plan with GUI
functions then edit the script with Geometry/Edit script. After you can copy
paste and start build your geo file.
Good luck.
Fabrice.

Objet : [Gmsh] Meshing on command line
Crew,
I may sound like an idiot, but at least I'm less of an idiot than I was a week
ago.
I have gotten a grip of defining geometries using the interactive(.cpp)
interface. At this stage there are a couple of weird things.
Loading a file seems to happen with the "Include" command. I'm OK with that,
but is there an "Open" command?
Also, even if I select "Clear" from the GUI menu and load another file from the
GUI menu, ensuing files don't seem to load the same as if they did when gmsh
was just started. What would be really handy is a command (on the command
line) to clear the display and all environment settings back to when gmsh was
started.
So, now that I'm not really qualified to do what I'm already doing, I have
decided to proceed with meshing. Using, say, the t12.geo tutorial example, I
can run gmsh with the "-2" option and it generates a mesh file, and then load
the mesh file to view it. I'm rather thrilled that the default settings for
meshing were exactly what I like.
However, exiting a program and re-running it to generate a mesh seems to
violate the point of interactivity from the command line. The "Mesh 2" command
doesn't do anything, so I'm at a bit of a loss.
The way I'd like things to work is as such:
gmsh> open a file
gmsh> type some command to mesh the geometry and have it immediately visible.
or, if that's not possible,
gmsh> open a file
gmsh> type some command to generate the mesh file
gmsh> type a command to clear *everything* so that displaying the mesh works.
gmsh> type a command to open the mesh file
And yes, I know I'm getting ahead of myself. Any ideas are helpful.
Thanks in advance.
-Todd
