GiD has been developed by the International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), a research and development organization based in Barcelona (Spain). CIMNE was created in 1987, linked to the prestigious Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. CIMNE specialices in the development and applications of numerical methods and software for the solution of a variety of problems in science and engineering.

The "Kemerovo State University" was founded in 1974. At present it is a leading institution of higher education in Kuzbass and one of the largest institutions in Siberia.

The transaltion of GiD on russian is made by them.

CEDEX, a leading public body applied to civil engineering, building and the environment.

Center for Studies and Experimentation of Public Works (CEDEX) was created as an autonomous body by decree of August 23, 1957. Is organically attached to the Ministry of Fomento and functionally to the Ministries of Development and Environment, and Rural and Marine Affairs.

The Agency provides technology support multidisciplinary civil engineering, building and the environment, and assists both government and public institutions and private companies.

CEDEX uses GiD as a pre and post processor for a CFD code with SPH method.

CRESCENDO, which stands for Collaborative Robust Engineering using Simulation Capability Enabling Next Design Optimization, is a research and development project co-financed by the European Union in the Seventh Framework Program. It seeks to reduce by 10% the conceptual development process, another 10% of development costs, 50% of re-work, and 20 % the cost of physical models to achieve in the near future the ultimate goal of developing a digital platform for design and certification of aircraft. The so-called the Behavioural Digital Aircraft, BDA, will reduce by half the time to market of a new aircraft model, integrating suppliers in the design process and allowing a reduction in travel costs associated to development projects.

HIRF Synthetic Environment research project has the goal to provide to the aeronautic industry a numerical modelling computer framework which can be used during the development phase (including upgrade), in order to ensure adequate EM performance, but also in addition and in a considerable reduction to certification/qualification testing phase on air vehicle.

GiD is proud to be a key product inside HIRF project.

The boundary element method (BEM) is an important technique in the computational solution of a number of physical or engineering problems. In common with the better-known finite element method FEM and finite difference method FDM , the boundary element method is essentially a method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs).

OpenSees, the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation, is an object-oriented, open source software framework. It allows users to create both serial and parallel finite element computer applications for simulating the response of structural and geotechnical systems subjected to earthquakes and other hazards.
