Hi Aditya,

The enclosed file shows how you can generate post-processing datasets directly 
from within Gmsh and save them into a .msh file. Basically, it uses the 
following steps :

·         Create a geometry and mesh it.

·         Generate a new post processing view on that geometry, containing the 
values to assign to each node. Here for the example I use the MathEval Plugin 
to compute the distance from each node to the origin. Here you will probably 
have to dig into Gmsh Plugins to find which are useful in your case.

·         Save the post-processing view within a mesh-oriented .pos file 
(renamed with a .msh extension).
You can run this example from the command line with gmsh example1.geo -2 (-0 
should also work). In any case, it should output a NodeData.msh file that 
contains the meshed geometry along with a node-based post-processing view.

However, on a more fundamental level, if you aim is simply to “mark” specific 
nodes of the mesh for whatever reason, why not defining Physical 
Entities<http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#Elementary-vs-physical-entities>
 instead of using a post-processing view ? That would be much easier…

Hoping this helps, let me know if your still have questions.

Sincerely Yours,

Objet : [Gmsh] Writing node-data from ".geo" file

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to write node-data to a ".msh" file from 
within the ".geo" file. All the examples from the documentation seem to explain 
the format of a ".msh" file containing node-data, but I would like gmsh to 
write out node-data (if possible) to the ".msh" file it generates (I need this 
to place "markers" on specific boundary nodes)

Thank you!

Regards
