Message definition (FEM Install)
In order to create a [[FEM_Mesh|FEM Mesh]], FreeCAD uses [http://gmsh.info/ Gmsh] as the default mesher. Depending on your operating system and your FreeCAD installation Gmsh may be bundled with the FreeCAD installation binaries. If it is not, you can install it separately from FreeCAD and then use the menu {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences → FEM → Gmsh}} to set the path to the ''gmsh.exe''.
