I've seen, that in available Gmesh importer source code of scientists is only a "not in the spec, not supported" exception, if a msh file contains parametric nodes stuff.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Another question is about mixed elements. Performance-wise it would be helpful, if we could use non curved elements in cases, that there are nearly no differences between straight looking curved elements and possible non curved “replacement” elements. Can you verify the statement, that such a replacement is impossible, because of the fact, that if once one element is curved, all other must be curved too, because of a domino effect?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Michael Scheerer<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>----------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dipl.-Ing.
