Hi Alejandro,

I'm afraid it'll be a bit difficult to answer to your question directly
(By the way, I do not have any sofware to deal with autocad or dxf
files). What do you mean exactly by "formulate 1D model in 2D problems"
?

Isn't defining a quantity like 'rho[]*J[]^2' in the postprocesing field
sufficient ? What kind of formulation do you use to solve your problem ?

The physical entity mechanism should provide you the flexibility to save
both "2D" and "1D" elements for the same mesh, provided that adequate
elementary geometrical entities are defined.

A new version is available at
http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~geuzaine/gmsh.html. No documentation is
available, but the collection of example files should answer most of
the questions. (Not that we don;t distribute the Windows version
anymore).


My best,
