-    (description "Gmsh is a 3D finite element grid generator with a build-in
-CAD engine and post-processor. Its design goal is to provide a fast, light and
-user-friendly meshing tool with parametric input and advanced visualization
-capabilities. Gmsh is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver and
-post-processing. The specification of any input to these modules is done
-either interactively using the graphical user interface or in ASCII text files
-using Gmsh's own scripting language.")
