## Statement of need

Numerical modelling techniques, such as Finite Element Method (FEM), rely on media properties, including in coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes. Frequently, these properties are not homogeneous across the domain. In these situations, there is often a need to map a property from a .csv point cloud format onto the model's mesh for numerical simulation. This would look like a property value per element .txt or .csv file, requiring prior data structure formats and coding knowledge.
In this paper, we try to partially bridge that gap by presenting a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) writen in Python using tkinter [@Lundh1999]. The code maps a property onto a 2-dimensional quadrilateral element mesh whilst providing some upscaling options and can handle OpenGeoSys's GINA [@Kolditz2016] and Gmsh .msh formats.

Frequently, these properties are not homogeneous across the domain. In these situations, there is often a need to map a property from a .csv point cloud format onto the model's mesh for numerical simulation. In other words, a .txt or .csv file containing the upscaled property value per element, which would require prior data structure formats and coding knowledge to construct.
In this paper, we try to partially bridge that gap by presenting a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) writen in Python using tkinter [@Lundh1999]. The code maps a property onto a 2-dimensional quadrilateral element mesh whilst providing some upscaling options and can handle OpenGeoSys's GINA [@Kolditz2016] and Gmsh [@Gmsh2020] .msh formats.
The GUI streamlines the experience to browse the property and mesh files making it simple and easy to use and quickly providing the user with a file to input in OGS to continue with the numerical simulation without the need to code.
