Dolfin-convert problem with higher order meshes

mesh
1

Hi all,

I have a GMSH files that is a mesh of order 2. I need to use the dolfin-convert command to convert its associated .msh into .xml. But I receive this error:

*** Unable to find cells of supported type.

When I do the same thing for meshes of order one I have no problem at all and the conversion finished successfully. Could you please let me know what is wrong?

Thank you so very much in advance.

Hello,
Second order meshes are not supported yet (should be soon though). If you need second order interpolation of your field you need to define them on a first order mesh (subparametric interpolation).

Thanks for your reply. I guess I shall wait.
