Mesh files accepted by ICARE are GiD (GiD software). The name of the file is always maillage.msh
GiD msh file format
There is a view of the geometry accepted by ICARE. For more details, check the GiD documentation. You will need to use this information only if you attend to convert your own mesh (generated with your own tool or with a CAD software with no common format with GiD) to this format. However, it is highly recommended to contact IEEA for special needs.
