No. There is no .geo file. PrePoMax can communicate with Gmsh directly through API wrapper. But the problem with this method is that any exception in Gmsh that terminates it, terminates PrePoMax. So PrePoMax communicates with the wrapper using files. But these files are not .geo instructions, only data that needs to be exchanged.
