Converter

[vittorio]

Vittorio,
Thanks. I am familiar with CGX and tried a file. It only translated the nodes and elements and according to the documentation it is quite limited (node, elements, and some boundary conditions). I would imagine the same is grue for Gmsh (I doubt it has material properties and property cards). But let me know if you think otherwise. I suspect will will have to create something custom to interface with Mecway.

Brian,a good starting point could be FECONV at
https://github.com/victorsndvg/FEconv.
I tried to compile it under Mingw in the Codeblocks installation.
Just one hint:
in the makefile Makefile.gfortran.windows,
add -libquadmath to the linker options as below
# LINKER OPTIONS
LDFLAGS = -static -Lbasicmod/lib -lbasicmod -lquadmath

Open a Command Window in Windows, go to the FECONV folder, add the path to C:\prog\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin or somewhat similar in your mingw installation  and type:

    mingw32-make -f Makefile.gfortran.windows     

you'll find FECONV.exe

At the moment FECONV does not support ABAQUS/CCX input format, but it is written in fortran and adding a different format should not be too much difficult.
