Calling netget from other program

Hello,

I’d like to call netgen from another program (a mesh-preprocessor for two specific solvers). Is there a documentation or even a tutorial on how to do this? The pre-processor is written in C.

Thanks, Jens.

Hi Jens,
https://sourceforge.net/p/ngsolve/ml-ngs/ci/master/tree/
is a small project explaining how to work with NGSolve in C++.
As far as I know there is no similar thing for Netgen but using the files there should make it possible to build a cmake project linking to NGSolve and using the functionality. Linking to Netgen should work similar.
At the usermeeting I’ve talked about this, the slides are available at https://ngsolve.org/user-meeting2017/talks/lackner_ngsc++.pdf
I don’t know how helpful they are alone, but probably better than nothing :wink:

Best
