I am in the process of converting a codebase from Matlab to Python and noticed that generateMesh
gets called on some polygons before carrying out a finite element analysis.
What I need to get as an output is a list of all the elements and nodes, with their respective coordinates. I don't need any GUI, just the output nodes and elements information.
The best solution I came across is something like this done with gmsh. I know gmsh is a pretty big library and I am afraid it might be a little too much for my needs. Is there any other package you'd suggest?
Triangular meshes are fine for the moment, but I would like the package to support tetrahedral meshes as well in case it's needed in the future.
Thank you
edit: I forgot to mention that I am only dealing with 2D geometries, as the triangular and tetrahedral elements imply.
