+# Mesh-generation
+
+This is an example for generating an unstructured mesh for ADCIRC/FVCOM using [OceanMesh2D](https://github.com/CHLNDDEV/OceanMesh2D). Included are the main code (`setup.m`) and the required GIS shapefiles. The package [fvcom-toolbox](https://github.com/pwcazenave/fvcom-toolbox) is also used to output FVCOM grid files.
