In the GUI : File->Export ; enter a filename.msh ; choose the version you want. On the command line : "gmsh file.geo -format msh2" In a script : Mesh.MshFileVersion = 2.2; You can also save this in your default options ; this way you will always save in format 2. > What is the element in the GMSH software that choose the file format (because > GMSH V2.8.4 is an old version but it create .msh file in format 4 that I > suppose it is a most recent format that doesn't exist when GMSH V2.8.4 was > released) ? > > Please help us on this.
