[Gmsh] gmsh-announce Digest, Vol 37, Issue 1

[Pierre JUILLARD]

By the way Mathias,

If you are interested in Catia files in GMSH, you may be interested in this
conversion tool available on the open cascade website, which allows
converting CATIA files into BREP (open cascade) files that can be opened in
GMSH.
http://www.opencascade.org/support/products/dataex/catia/ (in english)
http://www.datakit.com/convertisseurs-cao/catia-v5-to-opencascade/93-catia-v5-3d-to-opencascade.html(I
hope you can read french...)

Regards,

Pierre
