7. Tutorial

The nine following examples introduce new features gradually, starting with ‘t1.geo’. The files corresponding to these examples are available in the ‘tutorial’ directory of the Gmsh distribution.

This tutorial does not explain the mesh and post-processing file formats: see File formats, for this.

To learn how to run Gmsh on your computer, see Running Gmsh. In addition, interactive tutorials that explain how to use the graphical user interface are available on Gmsh's webpage:

• The first interactive tutorial shows how to create a simple 2D geometry and how to generate a mesh;
• The second shows several methods to visualize data sets on deformed grids;
• The third shows how to use post-processing plugins.
