Importing from gmsh

[fvarela]

Dear users:

I use Gmsh to generate geometry and mesh, then I try to import msh file to elemer. When I try to import the *.msh file in elmerGui throung the "open" command, nothing is imported. I am using Mac OS X.

When I do it in Windows platform, I have the same problem the first time I try to do this, but after that, when saving the mesh in Gmsh, *.msh file saves automatically in user/appdata/roaming folder and since that moment everything works OK.

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi fvarela,
the basic command in linux to convert gmsh output to elmer format is

Code: Select all

$ElmerGrid 14 2 meshname.msh -autoclean

where,
14 is the gmsh format(.msh) and it represents the input file format
2 represents the ElmerSolver format (.mesh.*) and it represents the output file format.

Also, ElmerGUI can read .grd format and it can be obtained as

Code: Select all

$ElmerGrid 14 1 meshname.msh -autoclean

where,
14 is the gmsh format(.msh) and it represents the input file format
1 represents the ElmerGrid format (..grd) and it represents the output file format.

I don't have any such ideas how such conversions are made in Mac OSX or windows.
Maybe some windows users or Mac OSX users might share their experience here.

Hi

I wonder where the Mac version comes from and what svn version is it based on?

Hi,

Unfortunately this is about 4000 commits old. Some of them has probably included stuff related to the Gmsh import as well.

Maybe somebody using Mac could invest time and try to get the cmake version compiled there.
