Free Viewer for Meshes from NAG Library D06 Chapter

At Mark 20 the NAG Fortran Library includes new routines in the D06 Chapter for generating meshes in general two-dimensional regions. The meshes generated can be viewed using the NAG Graphics Library, or other packages. For the further convenience of customers NAG has developed a simple viewer application which is provided free of charge, but without support, to any interested party. The application is available for download from this web page on Microsoft Windows and on a number of common UNIX and Linux platforms. The files provided are stand-alone executables which do not require any additional libraries.

The following platforms are available:

Microsoft Windows

Linux (i686)

Sun (SunOS 5.8)

Silicon Graphics (IRIX 6.4)

Compaq Alpha (OSF1 V4.0)

HP 9000 (HP-UX 11)

IBM (AIX 4)

The binaries may also run on compatible platforms.

For the Windows version download the zip file and extract the contents. Then launch the application by double-clicking mesh_view from Windows Explorer. (You may wish to place a shortcut to this file on the Desktop). Select the Help menu for details of usage. Several example mesh files are provided with the distribution. To view the mesh mesh2_d06abfe, for example, load this file from the File | Open menu.

For the Linux and UNIX versions download the gzipped tar file and extract the contents with commands such as:

gzip -d mesh_view_Linux.tar.gz

tar xvf mesh_view_Linux.tar

cd mesh_view_Linux chmod a+x mesh_view

Then run with no arguments to get instructions on usage. Several example mesh files are provided with the distribution. To view the mesh mesh2_d06abfe, for example, type:

./mesh_view mesh2_d06abfe
