Loading the model

There are two ways to load the results simulation information into GiD:

• If the model has been calculated inside GiD, and so the results are inside a GiD project, then just loading the GiD project and the changing to postprocess mode is enough. This can be achieved clicking on this icon:

, or selecting the Files->Postprocess menu entry.

• If only a mesh and results file(s) is present then GiD should be started, and switched to postprocess mode () before loading the file(s).

For this tutorial we will use the file called "Cylinder.bin" that contains the postprocess information, so the steps to follow are:

. Switch to postprocess mode: or Files->Postprocess

. Open the model with: Files->Open, Ctrl-o or clicking on
