[Dune] Grid format for unstructured grids from GMSH files

[Sacconi, Andrea]

Hi all,

thanks for your prompty answers.

Following your suggestions, I'm trying to use AlbertaGrid for creating a new grid, whose details are written in .msh file.
However, it seems that I'm misunderstanding how to use this gridtype.

I'd like to write:
	  
typedef Dune::AlbertaGrid<3,3> GridType;

but this error message appears:

dune_prova1_22nov2011.cc: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
dune_prova1_22nov2011.cc:29: error: expected initializer before ‘<’ token

Where am I wrong? Instead, if I wanted to define a structured grid (like in page 9, grid-howto), I'd do

typedef Dune::SGrid<3, 3> GridType;

and this line does not give any problem.

In the configuration process of DUNE, I set 

 --with-world-dim=3 \
 --with-alberta=/usr/local/alberta-2.0.1 \
 --with-alberta-dim=3
 
Any idea?
Thanks,

Andrea

Well, for completeness: you could also use UG.  It is slightly more involved
to install, but the installation process is well documented and many people
have successfully done it.
