$$\displaystyle \color{black}{\spadesuit}$$ Salome: an open-source software that provides a generic platform for Pre- and Post-Processing for numerical simulation. It is based on an open and flexible architecture made of reusable components.

$$\displaystyle \color{black}{\clubsuit}$$ Gmsh: a 3D finite element grid generator with a build-in CAD engine and post-processor. Its design goal is to provide a fast, light and user-friendly meshing tool with parametric input and advanced visualization capabilities. Gmsh is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver and post-processing. The specification of any input to these modules is done either interactively using the graphical user interface or in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own scripting language.

$$\displaystyle \color{black}{\clubsuit}$$ DistMesh: a simple MATLAB code for generation of unstructured triangular and tetrahedral meshes.  Paper:  P.-O. Persson, G. Strang, A Simple Mesh Generator in MATLAB. SIAM Review, Volume 46 (2), pp. 329-345, June 2004.

$$\displaystyle \color{black}{\clubsuit}$$ TOAST: a software suite for image reconstruction in optical diffusion tomography (ODT). It contains binary command line tools for numerical modelling of light transport and parameter recovery, but the main emphasis of development is currently shifting towards integration as a Matlab toolbox. Contains mesh-generation tools.
