🏞️ SPECFEM3D using Gmsh module

[MorphoWicket]

Hello ,

I'm trying to run the application example "EXAMPLES/applications/Gmsh_simple_lddrk" in which the mesh is created using gmsh. I'm familiar with specfem software but I couldnt reproduce this example. I feel the model is not up-to date because the python, gmsh, pygmsh and numpy version when tested are depreciated. I'm very interesting on using gmsh as mesher because the interal mesher is quite limitant (xmeshfem3D). So I have some question I hope somebody can answer me?

In the provided file run_this_example.sh, the first step is to create a mesh using gmsh. It doesnt work anymore because if I understood well the .msh file changed and the specfem libraries to read it and tranform to specfem format are not following. One posibility is to create all the requirements files as absorbing_surface_file_bottom, node_coors_file... but I cannot go further because I need the Proc000_Databse file to run xdatabase_generation.

1. would the example will be updated soon?
2. Could you tell me if there is a work around?
3. The gmsh capabilities inside specfem are gonna be maintened for the future?

Thank you for your answers
