Hi Christophe,<br><br>Does it mean that it could be possible to rent a library or something that GMSH could directly use to read CATPart or CATProduct (from Catia) files?<br><br>Thancks in advance for your comments,<br><br>

</div>Hi Matthias - It is possible, but the only CAD kernel for which we can<br>
legally distribute the interface is OpenCascade. When you link with<br>
OpenCascade you can then load native OpenCascade files (".brep").<br>
<br>
The license for e.g. SolidWorks prevents us from distributing the<br>
interface...<br>
