Hi all,

I tried to mesh a pretty big geometry I'm working on with netgen but  
ran out of memory on my 16 GB RAM machine. Is there any chance gmsh is  
more efficient?

I assume making a surface mesh takes less memory than full 3D? If so,  
I should be able to make  a surface mesh (with the 2D button)  even if  
I run out of memory for the full 3D in gmsh, right?
