# mshrable(1)

Generate mesh from surface file

## NAME

mshrable — Generate mesh from surface file

## SYNOPSIS

**mshrable** \[-f *FILE*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**mshrable** generates a mesh from a  surface file.  It uses mshr, which is the mesh generation  component of FEniCS. It generates simplicial DOLFIN meshes in 2D  and 3D from geometries described by Constructive Solid Geometry  (CSG) or from surface files, utilizing CGAL and Tetgen as mesh  generation backends.

## OPTIONS

- \-o \[--outfile\] *arg*

  Filename of generated Dolfin mesh.

- \-r \[--resolution\] *arg (=15)*

  Resolution of result mesh.

- \-s \[--stats\]

  Write some statistics of the mesh to stdout.

- \--polyout *arg*

  Write the polyhedron to .poly which Tetgen can read  (and do not create a mesh).

- \--polystats

  Write statistics of polyhedron (and do not create a  mesh).

- \-b \[--backend\] *arg (=cgal)*

  Use 3D mesh generation backend \[tetgen\|cgal\].

- \--degenerate\_tolerance *arg (=9.9999999999999998e-13)*

  Tolerance for considering a facet as degenerate. Set  to 0 to not remove degenerate facets.

- \--check-mesh

  Check consistency of output mesh (most for debugging/testing.

- \-v \[--verbose\]

  Output more information about what is going on.

- \-h \[--help\]

  write help message.
