Dear Pierre,<br>
Unfortunately, I do not have access to Abaqus now so I cannot really
test anything. You may want to directly post on the Abaqus forum.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
Omid<br>

The reality is that there are so many different element
types in Abaqus that makes defining a "generic" type
rather impossible. I would suggest to keep the default
Abaqus export as currently is, but give the user the
option to define custom types in the gmsh geometry file.
For instance, in the case of a 2D mesh, the user may
define a maximum of two strings for the 1D and 2D element
types, which can look like:<br>
> Mesh.Abaqus.ElementType.1D = "C1D2"<br>
> Mesh.Abaqus.ElementType.2D = "C2D3"<br>

</div>
With SVN r15202 I at least changed the default tags to tags
that should be understood by Abaqus/Standard (had to change
lines, triangles and quads). We might want more flexibility
in the future, but it might also be overkill (we need types
for 1st order and 2nd order elements, etc.).<br>
