related to FreeCAD? That would surely interests me ...

"BTW we use netgen and gmesh. gmesh will be called as binary with geo file and brep geometry.FreeCAD reads back an exported unv. Works quite well."

Ok. I am not yet familiar with the workflow for fem in freecad. There must also be ways to create a temporary .msh file I guess, but you know best.
In any case please let me know of any progress/requirement. Best for me would be to manage everything from mesh input to output data (in a format readable by freecad).

ATM noone has planned to implement anything for Sparselizard in FreeCAD.

The msh format is interesting. Since it is the native gmsh format it would be much better to use this one than unv to pare the meshes. Internally we use SMESH datatstructure. I have no idea if SMESH supports msh ?!?

Anyone here who might know?
