How To Install python3-dmsh on Debian 12
Introduction

What is python3-dmsh
python3-dmsh is:
dmsh: “The worst mesh generator you’ll ever use.”
Inspired by distmesh, dmsh is slow, requires a lot of memory, and isn’t terribly robust either.
On the plus side, it’s got a usable interface, is pure Python (and hence easily installable on any system), and if it works, it produces pretty high-quality meshes.
Combined with optimesh, dmsh produces the highest-quality 2D meshes in the west.
Example capabilities:
- Primitives
- circle, rectangle, polygon
- halfspace
- Combinations
- difference
- nonconstant edge length
- union
- intersection
- Transformations
- rotation, translation, scaling
- Local refinement
