Hi, I need to import 2D data generated as cuts from a 3D model in SolidWorks. One possibility would be to define a cut in SolidWorks and export it as dxf (AutoCAD format). But it seems like gmsh is not able to read dxf. Is there something I am missing (I just tried File->Open in gmsh, it gave me a an error message)? Or what would be the best (quickest) way to get the cut into gmsh? Is there any 2D vector format it can read? The way I have done it before is to take a slice instead of a cut, export it to STEP format, import it into gmsh and delete manually all volumes, surfaces, lines and points in the 3rd dimension, which can be very tedious for complex geometries.
Any suggestions would be welcome. BTW, is there a complete list of all formats gmsh can read and write? I have not found it in the manual, but I may have overlooked it...
