[Gmsh] IMPORT .bdf file

[claudio]

Dear Sirs,

my name is Claudio Comis and I am a PhD candidate in Energetics at the
University of Padua.

I tried to import into GMSH Environment a .bdf file format, related to a
mesh 3D of an elbow.
This mesh contains 4 patches:

1)Inlet;
2)Outlet;
3)Symmetry (in correspondence of the elbow centerline);
4)Wall.

The problem is that GMSH merges component 1), 2), and 3) under the same
Elementary entity. As a result, I cannot modify further this mesh.
Is there the possibility to avoid this unwanted merging? (I already
tried (successfully) by importing one patched at a time into GMSH
environment, but this way seems to me not so good, when the number of
components is high).

Thank You in advance.

Yours Sincerely.
