gmESSI is a finite element translator from gmsh (a three-dimensional finite element mesh generator with built-in pre- and post-procESSIng facilities) to REAL ESSI(UC Davis Earthquake-Soil-Structure-Interaction Simmulator). The translator has been developed in C++ language and generates the .fei files required by ESSI. This translator provides an easy, handy and powerfool pre-procESSIng tool to develop FEA models and interface with various ESSI functionalities. The gmESSI Translator Package consist of the Translator, Python module, a Sublime plugin and its manual. More detailed information about the translator can be read at gmESSI-Manual

The translator is made very general, so that any other FEM program can use it with little tweaks to have their own conversion tool.
