.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
This manual page documents briefly the 
\fBnetgen\fR and \fBbar\fR       commands.

This manual page was written for the \fBDebian\fP distribution 
because the original program does not have a manual page.

\fBnetgen\fR is an automatic mesh 
generation tool for two and three dimensions.  Netgen generates 
triangular or quadrilateral meshes in 2D, and tetrahedral meshes in 
3D. 
.PP 
The input for 2D is described by spline curves, and the 
input for 3D problems is either defined by constructive solid 
geometries, or by the standard STL file format.  Netgen contains 
modules for mesh optimization and hierarchical mesh refinement. 
Curved elements are supported of arbitrary order.
