Dear all,
  I am need to solve a PDE in which different kinds of boundry 
conditions are applied in different portions of the boundary. I can do 
that if I generate the mesh with libmesh and using 
MeshTools::Modification::change_boundary_id. However I will need to deal 
with complicated geometries and thus would like to use an external 
program to generate the mesh, but I am getting lost in the docs and 
examples.

Can anyone suggest a combination of a program (free and running under 
Linux) that can generate a mesh and save it into a file format, so that 
I can later load it in libmesh together with tags for boundary 
conditions? I have been playing around with triangle and gmsh and 
various file formats, but without much luck. I cannot find a format for 
the mesh file that is both supported by the meshing program and loads 
the correct boundary tags in libmesh. As the possibile combination of 
programs/formats are quite a lot, I thought that someone out there might 
have already gone through this...

In order to be concrete, say that I want a square domain with a hole and 
that, once loaded by libmesh, the outer boundary of the square must have 
boundaryID=0 and the boundary of the hole must have boundaryID=1.

Another (related) question is wether ex29.C can be modified to tag the 
boundaries of the generated mesh. The last time I looked at this it 
seemed that the libmesh triangle interface does not support tagging of 
boundaries (line 257 of mesh_triangle_interface.C in svn 4823 sets the 
"B" option). Am I right?

Matteo
