Attributes and Installation
Netgen is a tetrahedral mesh generator and editor. It is available either as a Windows executable or as a tar file, so UNIX/LINUX users will need to compile it from source. It can be installed on Ubuntu systems with dnf install netgen-mesher* and launched with netgen-mesher in a Terminal window.
File Types
Netgen can read in CSG or BRep Geometries and generate corresponding tetrahedral meshes. It can also read IGES and STEP formats when compiled with Open Cascade.
Ease of Use
Netgen is fairly easy to download and compile, but does have certain dependencies on a c++ compiler like g++, along with the Tcl/Tk libraries with Tix and the Togl library. Installing using the windows Executable and the dnf command should install these dependencies for you. If compiling from source make sure to first install all dependencies.
