Il peut arriver que la technique ci-dessus ne fonctionne pas ou mette un temps considérable. Auquel cas, autant y aller “à la main” avec un code comme celui ci-dessous:

    """Convert from gmesh format (msh) to Zebulon formet (geof).
    Only works for c2d3 elements for now.
    This is messy as hell and have to be rewritten to be able to
    handle physical element (ie, kind of nsets and elsets), count the correct number of elements (gmsh
    counts also 1D element), etc. Also, fixed count of number of element tags..

    - msh_name: filename of the msh file, ex: 'maillage.msh'

    returns: write geof file
