BASEmesh
BASEmesh is a free tool for the generation of computational meshes for the numerical software BASEMENT.
BASEmesh was initially published as python plugin for the open source geographic information (GIS) software QGIS. Starting with version 2.0, BASEmesh is both a stand-alone python software as well as a plugin für QGIS. It integrates Jonathan Richard Shewchuk's excellent unstructured 2D-mesh generator 'Triangle' developed at the University of California at Berkeley. BASEmesh is published under GNU GPL.
Latest News
BASEmesh version 2.0.0 was released on November 13th 2020. While care was taken to keep as much of the existing workflow for BASEmesh v2, the design changes performed did result in some alterations of the end user workflow. Detailed information such as release notes, a migration guide for version 2.0 and a user manual for most recent version are provided on the BASEmesh repository.
The BASEmesh repository also features user manuals for previous versions.
BASEmesh Plugin Versions
The following table lists all current versions of BASEmesh, along with the QGIS environment supported. Using the older versions (<2.0.0) should be considered a compatibility option and is not recommended for new projects as there have been significant improvements to 3D geometry and mesh format support in recent versions.
Note: Versions 1.0.0 to 1.4.3 are legacy versions that are not actively maintained.
