Where can I find the right format? There are two formats. One (the legacy one) is self contained and is made of objects (triangles, tets, hexes) with datas. There is no connectivity : every object is treated independently. See http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#POS-ASCII-file-format. The second format is more standard. You have to have a mesh (i.e. a connectivity) and FE results can be saved as data’s for that mesh. The doc is in http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#MSH-ASCII-file-format, see sections $NodeData, $ElementData and $ElementNodeData. Is all the element supported (from shell to volumic elements - 1rst to 2nd order ones)? Yes. High order elements are supported, in both formats. Is there a limitation in terms of max number of elements? No :-) The only limitation is the RAM of your computer. Note that the second format with $NodeData is clearly cheaper in term of memory. Thanks for any feedback Regards Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------ Prof. Jean-Francois Remacle Universite catholique de Louvain (UCL) Ecole Polytechnique de Louvain (EPL) - Louvain School of Engineering Institute of Mechanics, Materials and Civil Engineering (iMMC) Center for Systems Engineering and Applied Mechanics (CESAME) Tel : +32-10-472352 -- Mobile : +32-473-909930 _______________________________________________ gmsh mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://onelab.info/mailman/listinfo/gmsh
