I would like to generate a mesh from a set of points defining a contour computed by a Julia program and then to solve a PDE on the generated mesh.

I found the package Gmsh.jl to use gmsh program to build a msh file.  
Then I can read the msh file with GridapGmsh. Ok.  
Is that possible to avoid creating a temporary file and directly call `GmshDiscreteModel` on something from `gmsh.model.mesh.generate` without writing the msh file ?

Thanks in advance

I don’t know if you can avoid saving the temporary \*.msh file.

In case you find it useful, I posted a question related to Gmsh and Gridap including some code that shows how you could combine both (it should work with a mesh of order one in Gmsh).

[[Order for finite elements when using Gridap and Gmsh](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/order-for-finite-elements-when-using-gridap-and-gmsh/125094)]([https://Related](https://Related) question about Gridap and Gmsh with sample code)
