Hi David,<br><br>It worked, many thanks. <br>Do you happen to know any good way to convert a cad model to the STEP format? <br><br>My CAD models are in AutoCAD (which cannot export STEP) and I'm currently working on using Autodesk Inventor to get out a STEP file. <br>

<br>
if it is possible, try to use the STEP format instead of the IGES. STEP stores the information about the topology of the model and should keep the volume information.<br>

Hi,<br>
I'm having a problem importing solid objects vie IGES format.<br>
Basically, when I mesh it only a surface mesh is created.<br>
If I need a volume mesh I have to define the volume again in gmsh. Is there a way to automatically recognize volumes<br>
when you import?<br>
<br>
