Article #297: Gmsh 1.54

Created at 00:37 Jul 03, 2004 by geuzaine.acm.caltech

We've just released a new version of Gmsh that fixes a number of longstanding issues (surface mesh orientation, surface extrusion) and adds some support for 3D element quality control (via Netgen).

Downloads, mailing lists, etc.: http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/

Enjoy,

New in 1.54: integrated Netgen (3D mesh quality optimization + alternative 3D algorithm); Extrude Surface now always automatically creates a new volume (in the same way Extrude Point or Extrude Line create new lines and surfaces, respectively); fixed UNV output; made the "Layers" region numbering consistent between lines, surfaces and volumes; fixed home directory problem on Win98; new Plugin(CutParametric); the default project file is now created in the home directory if no current directory is defined (e.g., when double-clicking on the icon on Windows/MacOS); fixed the discrepancy between the orientation of geometrical surfaces and the associated surface meshes; added automatic orientation of surfaces in surface loops; generalized Plugin(Triangulate) to handle vector and tensor views; much nicer display of discrete iso-surfaces and custom ranges using smooth normals; small bug fixes and cleanups.
