Hi Bastian,

You can put this in your .geo file to save the mesh in the .bdf format:
Mesh.Format = 31;

Also, I think this should work when you build the mesh in the command line:
$ gmsh file.geo -3 -o file.bdf

Also, when you save the resulting mesh in GUI ("Save as...") you can
specify the extension of the mesh, and the format will be chosen
automatically.

Best,
Mikhail
