gmsh中的元素可以分成两类：几何实体和物理实体。几何实体是网格元素的最基本组成，物理实体（物理组）则是在几何元素的基础上进行逻辑层上的分类。从架构上看，几何实体属于物理划分，物理实体则是逻辑划分。

gmsh支持根据物理性质将几何实体进行归类和划分。目前所知物理实体一个非常重要的性质是设定网格的边界条件：将相同边界条件的几何元素归到同一个组下，gmsh在生成网格的时候就将物理信息写入到生成的网格信息中。

物理实体的定义需要在定义的元素前加上”Physical”标识符，其余的同几何实体的定义相同。下面是一个二维机翼的gmsh定义：

上述文件定义了一个二维机翼的几何实体和物理实体。将其使用gmsh则可生成二维的网格。

注意

如果需要导出msh格式，必须给出完整的physical定义！在上述例子中，如果没有给出最后的physical surface定义，保存成msh的格式则只有边界上的数据。话句话说，如果定义了物理实体，msh格式只会输出和physical信息的几何实体相关的网格！
