Hello all,
I received an update from github where some developers were working on integrating GMSH with dealii. As I am using GMSH in my application, I was wondering what is the status of this feature and what is the projected direction of what this feature can do?
This is of interest to me because I was able to mostly isolate the 2D mesher within GMSH (by commenting out the 3D parts and the code involving the GUI) and integrate this into my project. I am able to build the remaining code and produce a 2D mesh with GMSH utilizing the Blossom algorithm.
My only tricky part right now is trying to specifying different mesh sizes for the faces with Dealii. I am hoping that there will be a "simple" (relatively speaking) solution to this issue. Right now, to adjust the mesh size for the faces, GMSH uses a global constraint for all faces. I am currently looking into other ways of adjusting the mesh size for a face. But if Dealii is going to have direct support for GMSH, then this will be beneficial to me and could solve my issue.

As a slight edit to my previous post here, I believe I found a way to adjust the mesh size of a face where I specify the mesh size along the edge that comprises the face. It appears that this is able to adjust the mesh size so it is possible!
