Hello Christophe, <div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much ! It works quite well. But now i am facing another problem where I think I am not the first, but google doesn´t give very helpful informations.</div>
<div><br></div><div>After meshing I then want to use Calculix. Do you have any experiences or reccomendations about the file interchange format? </div><div><br></div><div>As far as I have read I create a Abaqus Input deck which is slightly different from Calculix. Are there any hints or free translators?</div>

Hi René,<br>
<br>
Indeed, we forgot to add "inp" in the strings recognized by the "-format" options on the command line. This is now fixed in svn.<br>
<br>
But the simpler solution is to actually not use the "-format" option at all: by default gmsh selects the format depending on the extension of the output file name, so you can simply do<br>
<br>
gmsh plate.step -3 -o plate.inp<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Christophe<br>
