[Circle.mesh](https://community.freefem.org/uploads/short-url/84TZzXedYrjIsLIVgExA69fffec.mesh) (1000 Bytes)

Hello all,

I am trying to open the mesh (joint with this message).  
So, my script is:

```auto
verbosity=0;
load "msh3"
meshS Th=readmesh3("Circle.mesh");
plot(Th, wait=1);

```

But I got this error:

```auto
meshS Th=readmesh3("Circle.mesh"); error operator <- <PPKN5Fem2D5MeshSE>, <N5Fem2D5Mesh3E> 

```

When I try with

> mesh3 Th= …

FreeFEM propose me to use meshS instead, but it does not work.

Would someone face the same problem ?

Thank you for your help,

Best regards,

Loïc,

Juste replace`readmesh3` by `readmeshS` like in
