MeshConvert

MeshConvert is a utility bundled with Nektar++ which has two purposes:

• allow foreign mesh file formats to be converted into Nektar++’s XML format;
• aide in the generation of high-order meshes through a series of supplied processing modules.

There is also some limited support for other output formats. We begin by running through a basic example to show how a mesh can be converted from the widely-used mesh-generator Gmsh to the XML file format.
