Dear Arnauld, Following the previous message, the mesh generation problem can be due to an overlapping of elements (lines, surfaces, ...). This issue can be solved by using the "Coherence" function that will be executed by Gmsh at each meshing or we can propose another solution, based on our free open-source product Geficot (http://dev.artenum.com/projects/GEFICOT/download). It is a set of tools to handle the coherence of geo files. in you case the following command would create the same file with no duplicated elements : ./Geficot(.sh or .bat) -d yourFile.geo newFile.geo The advantage of this solution is that there are some settings to adjust the coherence and it generates a new geo file (then you don't need the "coherence" in your file and gmsh don't have to perform the coherence each time you mesh your geometry).
We don't know the software GoCAD but maybe this software generates .msh and not .geo files. If so, we can propose our free open-source solution MeshToGeo (http://dev.artenum.com/projects/MeshToGeo) to convert the mesh file to a geometry file to facilitate the edition.
