tet_mesh_to_gmsh


tet_mesh_to_gmsh, a C++ code which converts a pair of files defining a tetrahedral mesh into an equivalent file using the gmsh() format.

In particular, the code reads a node coordinate file listing the coordinates of a set of 3D points, and an element file list sets of 4, 10 or 20 nodes that form tetrahedral elements. It creates a single equivalent file in the Gmsh msh format.
