[Gmsh] gmsh slow at drawing

[Guido Giuntoli]

Dear German, thank you very much for you quick answer, this post shows an
interesting tool and we can take advantage of that. Our idea is to use
another code that we are developing for solving the neutron diffusion
problem with the partitioning domain technique (and SPMD parallel
philosophy) in order to solve with very high performance. We need the 20
different Physical Entities across the Z axis to compare results with PCE2c
and to have a ".geo" file that describes all the domain neutron features
(we have different code philosophies...in our case all the neutron features
have to be in a .geo we don't like to specify that to the code by hand ). I
will send the .geo tomorrow,  it has approximately 100000 lines (minimum)
of geometry definition, I think this is our gmsh performance
problem...Thanks again, Guido.
