GMS can import and export 2D and 3D finite element meshes using the FEFLOW ASCII Model File Format (*.fem). This makes it possible to build a mesh in GMS and export it so it can be used to build a model in FEFLOW. Also, the mesh from a FEFLOW model can be exported from FEFLOW and imported into GMS for viewing, examination and post-processing.

The mesh geometry and nodal datasets in the .fem file are imported and exported. FEFLOW boundary conditions and material properties on elements are not imported or exported.

Import

To import a FEM file into GMS, use the File | Open command. Change the Files of type to *.fem (or *.*) to see the file. Alternatively you can simply drag and drop the file onto the GMS program window.

Export

To export a 2D or 3D mesh from GMS to a FEM file, right-click on the mesh in the Project Explorer and select the Export command.
