The meshants grid generator is
designed to be a simple tool for creating
surface and wire grids from canonical shapes, parameterized equations,
and external CAD sources using a script. Writing scripts is much faster
than using standard graphical user interfaces, yet it can be hidden
behind a simple parameter input panel giving the appearance of a
specialized mesh generator. The simple
expression evaluation and local variables encourages parameterized
models. Moreover, the ability to write and
use library functions allows for versatile reuse of grid parts. High
quality grids can be generated through the use of two tolerance values
to merge grid points and eliminate small
elements. The scripts run very fast, so go ahead
and use the run button often while writing the script to verify your
progress.
