You should almost never export as unrolled: this is only for "flattening" geo files made with the built-in kernel. (The fact that it creates points and splines on OpnenCascade models is an undocumented feature that we sometimes use for debugging.) If you want to export a flat geometry with the OpenCascade kernel, use Save "file.brep"; This will save the native OpenCascade brep. Note that Gmsh never translates between CAD formats: it directly attacks the native CAD kernel APIs - there is no intermediate representation. > I find splines (and thus lots of points) inside it, instead of simple circle > arcs.
