Hello

With gmsh you can use variables as point coordinates.
The real numeric values may be defined in a small file named, say: par.inc.
This file may be easily generated by a shell script or by some other program
such as octave.
then you include this file in the beginning of the .geo file.
You can also control gmsh and the solver with a shell script or octave,
automating the whole process in a loop, by changing the parameters at each
iteration.

par.inc:
a = 0.01;
b = 0.02;
cl = 1;

.geo:
Include "par.inc";
Point( 1) = {a, b, 0, cl};
... etc...

I've done a lot of automation with this scheme. The computer plays all the
night, while I sleep.
BTW which solver are you using?

Regards
Janvrot
