When I try to send mesh file from GMSH to elmer grid i get Below Error .Could you please help me how I can solve my problem?
C:\Users\payam.shams>ElmerGrid 14 2 TEST.msh
Starting program Elmergrid
Elmergrid reading in-line arguments
Output will be saved to file TEST.
Elmergrid loading data:
-----------------------
LoadGmshInput: The opening of the mesh file TEST.msh.msh failed!
Thank you for using Elmergrid!

Re: ElmerGrid
Hi,
I cannot reproduce your case on a Windows 7 machine. I assume your TEST.msh file is in C:\Users\payam.shams? Otherwise cd to the directory where the file is located. Can you open your TEST.msh with gmsh?
HTH,
Matthias

Re: ElmerGrid
Yes,I Can open my file by Gmsh.
Re: ElmerGrid
Oh yes, did you save your file as ASCII or binary? I am not sure if ElmerGrid can read binary .msh files.
Re: ElmerGrid
How can I understand my file is save as binary or ASCII?
Re: ElmerGrid
Open it with an editor.
Or save it a second time with gmsh, using File->Export. There is a dialog where you can choose between ASCII and binary. Choose "Version 2 ASCII".

Re: ElmerGrid
Looks good. So it was saved in another format before?
Re: ElmerGrid
I am not sure. How can I understan about it_
Re: ElmerGrid
Your problem went away when you saved the file a second time?
Then it was probably a format issue.
