TRIANGULATION_Q2L, a MATLAB program which reads information describing a triangulation of a set of points using 6-node ("quadratic") triangles, and creates a 3-node ("linear") triangulation.
The same nodes are used, but each 6-node triangle is broken up into four smaller 3-node triangles.
Thus, the program might be given the following 4 triangles:
11-12-13-14-15
|\ |\ |
| \ | \ |
6 7 8 9 10
| \ | \ |
| \| \|
1--2--3--4--5
It would make a new triangulation involving 16 triangles:
11-12-13-14-15
|\ |\ |\ |\ |
| \| \| \| \|
6--7--8--9-10
|\ |\ |\ |\ |
| \| \| \| \|
1--2--3--4--5
The input and output files use the simple TABLE format; comment lines begin with a "#" character. Otherwise, each line of the file contains one set of information, either the coordinates of a node (for a node file), or the indices of nodes that make up a triangle, (for a triangle file).
The input file prefix_elements.txt contains the triangle information for the 6-node triangulation. Each line contains the indices of six nodes that form a triangle, in counterclockwise order. The first three indices are the vertices, in counterclockwise order. The fourth index is the midside node between vertices 1 and 2, the fifth the midside between vertices 2 and 3, and the sixth the midside between vertices 3 and 1.
The output file prefix_q2l_elements.txt contains the triangle information for the 3-node triangulation. The vertices for each triangle are listed in counterclockwise order. There are 4 times as many triangles in this triangulation.

TRIANGULATION_Q2L is available in a C++ version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version.
MESH_TO_XML, a MATLAB program which reads information defining a 1D, 2D or 3D mesh, namely a file of node coordinates and a file of elements defined by node indices, and creates a corresponding XML file for input to DOLFIN or FENICS.
