Spectral Element Method Mesher

Hi,

Is there a free/open-source mesher for the Spectral Element Method?

I know some researchers use conventional mesher with order 3 elements and then include more nodes in the meshes (but without improve the geometric interpolation).

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I have found Cubit, is not free/open source but it was developed for Spectral Element Method.
