dear all,

I didn't know if posting the thread with the prefix technical or salome, as I am using it and came from this my doubts.
I have seen all around the forum people using for example Gmsh as their mesher. Also the existence of engrid mesher that uses netgen as mesher and I use salome to create my surfaces meshes as recomendation from different people in this forum. but when choosing the 2D algorith to mesh my surface, in Salome I have different options, mefisto, netgen 2D, Gmsh, MG-CADSurf... I can see differences in the results of the surface mesh, but I am really lost from the background of the algorithms. I tried to search the differences without a lot of luck.....
someone has any recommendations in where to go to understant the differences between the different algorithms? as for example in salome I can choose Gmsh algorithm but Gmsh is also a software and inside of it, it has different algorithms, and (Imight be wrong) but I think is the same also for netgen (that is a also a software like Gmsh)?

best regards, franco

hello,
thanks for the answer, but i could not find this information in the salome documentation about smesh (the module for meshing...) but as i mentioned I put it in technical and not in salome, as from the small portion that i understand as they are open source each one has "absorved" the others so in gmsh you can do also netgen, in salome you can do gmsh and netgen.... but the concreate differences between the algorithms are not clear.... and i could not find in the documentation...
