PyHOPE

Mesh Generator for High-Order Meshes in Python

PyHOPE (Python High-Order Preprocessing Environment) is an open-source Python framework for the generation of three-dimensional unstructured high-order meshes. These meshes are needed by high-order numerical methods like Discontinuous Galerkin, Spectral Element Methods, or pFEM, in order to retain their accuracy if the computational domain includes curved boundaries.

PyHOPE is heavily inspired by HOPR (High Order Preprocessor) and shares the same input/output format. HOPR is written in modern Fortran and is maintained as legacy code and as a framework for reference. For more information and tutorials, please refer to the HOPR source code and documentation.
