I want to simulate tide in a large gulf but the problem is that there are a lot of points and lines for defining the geometry or coastlines. Therefore, I have to import these points and lines to Gmsh by using a text file, like what other commercial packages do. Do I need to develop a program to read my data and make a .geo format file? Does Gmsh have itself this ability? Other ideas are welcome.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
