How to save a mesh with *.msh format ?

User: "Jean de Rauglaudre"

Hello,

 

I created a 2D mesh on Hypermesh. I would like to save it as an msh file (a format that it is compatible with Gmsh). However, *.msh doesn't seem to be included in the list of possible formats.  Does anybody know how I can do that ? 

 

Thanks in advance for your answer.

    from the release notes, gmsh supports importing on Nastrand bdf file, since 2007.

    You can just export in Nastran template and import it in GMSH.

     2.0.0 (Feb 5, 2007): new geometry and mesh databases, with support for STEP and IGES import via OpenCASCADE; complete rewrite of geometry and mesh drawing code; complete rewrite of mesh I/O layer (with new native binary MSH format and support for import/export of I-deas UNV, Nastran BDF, STL, Medit MESH and VRML 1.0 files); added support for incomplete second order elements; new 2D and 3D meshing algorithms; improved integration of Netgen and TetGen algorithms; removed anisotropic meshing algorithm (as well as attractors); removed explicit region number specification in extrusions; option changes in the graphical interface are now applied instantaneously; added support for offscreen rendering using OSMesa; added support for SVG output; added string labels for Physical entities; lots of other improvements all over the place.

    Hypermesh is Open system (yes! that why I love it). All you need is to write a customized FE output template for your output.

    Have a look at the online help on this point.
