create dem from contours for use in another program

Question

I need a dem or asc file, not a raster in a gdb, for another program to use. I have contours, I can make a tin, a tif, but I need the .asc

You can convert tif to asc with gdal_translate.

What GIS software are you using? What have you tried?

There is a module in GRASS that was built to to this: r.surf.contour

The best place to learn how to use it is in the grasswiki: https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Contour_lines_to_DEM
