Dear sfepy-devel group,

I have read with interest the home website of the sfepy project. I would like to give it a try, however I have a question about mesh generation. I am downloading Mayavi2 at the moment. As far as I know it is the best front end to generate and visualise VTK files. However, I would like to know if you have a better suggestion for a 'free' mesh generator software.

I would say that Mayavi2 is more for post-processing and visualization, then for mesh generation. As concerns the available of free mesh generators, you can try gmsh [1], tetgen [2], netgen [3], or pythonOCC [4]. There may be other I am not aware of.

I have some (small) experience with [1] (ok!), no experience with [2-4]. I have discovered the project [4] only very recently, it seems very advanced. If you decide to try it, I would be interested in hearing about your experience.

best regards, r.
