[Gmsh] import external-generated geometry in gmsh

[Stefan.Kremer at Schoeck.de]

Hello Prof. Geuzaine
hello Prof. Remacle,

i have a question to your great tool gmsh:

Is there any possibility to generate a three-dimensional geometry (with 
several domains (=different materials) with an external software
then import and mesh it with gmsh?

I have tried this with freeCAD and exported a brep-file of my geometry but 
the problem is that common faces of volume bodies in the geometry
was saved twice (each belongs to one domain) and so the gmsh' 
mesh-algorithmus was not able to mesh the domains correctly.

Maybe there is another way, generating a 3D-geometry (should be 
scriptable) and match the domains with material properties so that getdp 
could solve the problem.

Do you have any ideas or hints?

Thanks in advance for your help

Best regards from south-germany
