[Gmsh] Identifying nodes on boundaries and their order

[Oliver]

Actually, that solution does solve your problem. Gmsh by itself does not
have that functionality, but it does provide the facilities with which you
could extract those things easily (post-processing the generated mesh).

Just label the boundaries as 'Physical Line' (in your case, for others it
might be Physical Surfaces). Then, when the mesh is generated, extract all
lines that have the id you assigned to this collection of physical lines.
You'll end up with a list of all the boundary nodes.

Not sure what the program you're using means by "list in order", so I can't
help you there.

Kind regards,
Oliver.
