# meshRW documentation

meshRW provides lightweight mesh readers and writers focused on:

- Legacy Gmsh MSH (reader + writer)
- VTK legacy files and VTK XML (`.vtu` + `.pvd`) writers
- Static and transient nodal/elemental field export

## Why meshRW

meshRW is designed for workflows where you need transparent file-level control over mesh and field exports without bringing a full simulation framework.
