There is no direct interface to Distmesh. I would suggest that you generate
your mesh in Distmesh, then convert it to a format that libMesh does
support, like ExodusII, VTK, Abaqus format, or xda. Note that xda is
libMesh's own mesh format, and it is documented in the repository here
<https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/tree/master/doc/latex/xda_format>.

Best,
