摘要Abstract：本文主是对Netgen的库nglib的用法进行介绍。主要参考资料是Netgen用户指南。最后给出一个具体程序实例。 

关键字Key Words：Netgen, nglib, Mesh 

一、引言 Introduction

Netgen网格生成库nglib是以C++源程序形式提供，可以编译为Unix/Linux或Windows上的库文件。程序开发使用的接口文件是nglib.h。 

二、头文件 The Header File

接口文件中包含了一些类型定义和函数调用，所有的Netgen类型和函数都带有前缀Ng。类型和函数首字母大写，所有常量都是大写。 

三、类型和常量 Types and Constants

// ** Constants used within Netgen *********************
/// Maximum allowed number of nodes per volume element
#define NG_VOLUME_ELEMENT_MAXPOINTS 10

/// Maximum allowed number of nodes per surface element
#define NG_SURFACE_ELEMENT_MAXPOINTS 8

// *** Data-types for accessing Netgen functionality ***
/// Data type for NETGEN mesh
typedef void * Ng_Mesh;

/// Data type for NETGEN CSG geometry
typedef void * Ng_CSG_Geometry;

/// Data type for NETGEN 2D geometry
typedef void * Ng_Geometry_2D;

/// Data type for NETGEN STL geometry
typedef void * Ng_STL_Geometry;

// *** Special Enum types used within Netgen ***********
/// Currently implemented surface element types
enum Ng_Surface_Element_Type 
   { NG_TRIG = 1, NG_QUAD = 2, NG_TRIG6 = 3, NG_QUAD6 = 4, NG_QUAD8 = 5 };

/// Currently implemented volume element types
enum Ng_Volume_Element_Type 
   { NG_TET = 1, NG_PYRAMID = 2, NG_PRISM = 3, NG_TET10 = 4 };

/// Values returned by Netgen functions
enum Ng_Result 
   { 
     NG_ERROR               = -1,   
     NG_OK                  = 0, 
     NG_SURFACE_INPUT_ERROR = 1,
     NG_VOLUME_FAILURE      = 2, 
     NG_STL_INPUT_ERROR     = 3,
     NG_SURFACE_FAILURE     = 4,
     NG_FILE_NOT_FOUND      = 5 
   };

// *** Classes required for use within Netgen **********
/// Netgen Meshing Parameters class
class Ng_Meshing_Parameters 
{
public:
   int uselocalh;                      //!< Switch to enable / disable usage of local me
