Hien N.G. NGUYEN proposed the following answer:
Hi,

For .ele format, you can find the manual of Tetgen [1], as far as I know, this format is not popular, at least in 3D community.
I have no idea about .inp but recently I work with .stl and Yade imported and worked just fine. Yade seems to support several mesh types [1]. You can try generating one of them from GMSH (try .gmsh), I believe it should work.

Other point, like Duriez said, the imported mesh can be 'marked' by its
ID, you can extract all data on it from its ID.

Good luck
Hien
