Hi, thanks for your help so far. I have another query though: is kiva able to read meshes created by (for example) star cd? I can export ansys, nastra,patran and univ format but which does kiva read ? it seems the ansys format is the closest one, but not quite. Is there something I need to do ?

thanks a lot
