I know that cgns format support that, but only till the 2<sup>nd</sup> order(e.g. tria6, tetra10).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have problems exporting a mesh from Gmsh (2.5.0, windows) in cgns format, because somehow Gmsh canīt find the cgns libraries to have support for exporting this format. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am also planning on implementing an import feature for msh format in my c# code to have the possibility to deal with curved elements of order greater than 2. Till now I used a parallel cgns Api which is built on top of parallel hdf5. I donīt really know if itīs possible to have an anlog scheme for Gmsh API. It will be great, if you can help me regarding these issues.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank in advance for any suggestions!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Emna.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>+---------------------------------------------+ <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>| Dipl.–Ing.
