Examples and Tests:

The BATTERY example is a geometry with a compliciated set of internal walls. The buildmesh() function in FREEFEM++ cannot properly mesh this region.

• <battery%5Fg.msh>, the input geometry file file.
• <battery%5Fo.msh>, the output mesh file.
• <battery%5Fo.png>, an image of the mesh.

The CIRCLE example defines a circle geometry.

• <circle%5Fg.msh>, the input geometry file file.
• <circle%5Fo.msh>, the output mesh file.

The SQUARE example defines a square geometry.

• <square%5Fg.msh>, the input geometry file file.
• <square%5Fo.msh>, the output mesh file.

The SQUARE_SPLIT example defines a square geometry with a slanted internal wall. BAMG produces a mesh which is constrained to define the internal wall with element edges. (I wanted to make this experiment before going on to the BATTERY example.)

• <square%5Fsplit%5Fg.msh>, the input geometry file file.
• <square%5Fsplit%5Fo.msh>, the output mesh file.
• <square%5Fsplit%5Fo.png>, an image of the mesh.
