After apply the conditions over the geometry, you must re-generate the mesh
to transfer the conditions over nodes or elements.

Send us your problem type files (your calculus program is not required) and
a small sample to check it.

Regards.

                  [GiDlist] results at gauss points

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Wed Jan 2 12:09:01 CET 2002



The name "Gauss points" of the GaussPoints set in the result is not defined, 
Only is defined the set name "GaussAllElements"

you must change the line:
Gausselement     2    10.    1    2    0 "Gauss points"
for:
Gausselement     2    10.    1    2    0 "GaussAllElements"

NOTE:
This is in the old posprocess format, it is recommended to use the new postprocess format (it requires GiD 6.1.4b or higher)
I' attach the file YangNew.flavia.res with this new (more readable) format .

Hello,

I am using GiD 6.1.2 under win2000 and some troubles occur.
At each calculation lunch trough the "calculate" menu 2 virtual disks 
appears...
What can I do to overcome this problem ?
Is a recent version available ?

Another problem is that it is impossible to open your FTP window for 
downloading beta versions.

Thank you for help.

                              [GiDlist] problems with win2000

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Mon Jan 7 21:08:01 CET 2002



In some Windows versions the system does not allow GiD to erase these auxiliary virtual units.
It can erase them manually from a DOS console with: subst "unit" /D
for example, if the unit is named F: 
subst F: /D

To correct this and others problems, In the last beta versions, the file *.bat is directly interpreted from GiD (without use the command.com of the operating system).

The last beta version for Windows is:
ftp://gid.cimne.upc.es/pub/gid_adds/Windows/GiD6.2.0c-win.exe

It is the first notice about the impossibility to acces to the beta versions
What explorer version uses?

Hallo Mr. Olivier Bounhoure,

the files are o.k., as you can see in the attached image.
Which version of GiD are you using?
The new postprocess format works for GiD version 6.1.4b or later,
which you can find at:

That's the point!
I wanted to try the GiD 6.1.4b for linux version but this doesn't seem to 
work corectly. 
The error message is:

problems getting information about gauss points 'Gauss', in line 6 of file 
'/home/olivier/nouveau.flavia.res'.
Unknown key 'Values', 
in line 7 of file '/home/olivier/nouveau.flavia.res'.

Can two installations of GiD bring conflicts? I have the 6.1.3 in 
/usr/local/lib/gid and the 6.1.4b in /home/olivier/GiD/gid6.1.4b.
Thanks a lot

I have noticed the archive of 6.1.5b is much smaller than the 6.1.4b one. It

The change of sizes is normal:
The package 6.1.5b is small because it not include some formats (tex,ps,..)
of the reference manual and the sample problem types.

I suppose that the execution error is corrected, but not we have still
compiled the last 6.2.0c beta version for Linux.

You can create two or more bas files in the same problemtype directory
for example:

edodo.bas
*set elems(triangle)
*loop elems
  *elemsConec
*end

edodoB.bas
*set elems(quadrilateral)
*loop elems
  *elemsConec
*end

This create two output files: "name".dat with the triangles and "name"-1.dat with the quadilaterals

It exist a new command for this pourpose
*ElemsNnode
(valid only inside a loop over elements)
It returns the number of nodes of the current element.

for example:
*loop elems
  *ElemsNnode
*end elems

NOTE: This command is only valid from GiD 6.2.0b or more recent versions.

Send by: Ricardo Resende
On: Fri Jan 11 12:35:02 CET 2002



1 - When visualising 20-node hexahedra, can GID show the edges as parabolic
functions?
2 - When listing the nodes of a element, if in pre-process mode, all 20
nodes appear, but when on post-process mode, only the vertices' nodes
appear. Is this on purpose?

Thanks

1 - To a fast draw, the quadratic elements are visualized as linear. Is not

(for future versions, it is possible add this feature selecting a option of
higth quality draw).

2- This is not a postprocess bug, it is normal (in the future it we will

                  [GiDlist] repeated coordinates

Send by: Matthew Profit
On: Fri Jan 11 18:09:01 CET 2002



Hello Gid users,

I'm attempting to mesh a simple cylinder, internal radius 100, external 110, height 300, with linear brick elements. (using Gid 6.1.2)

If I create a quarter of the cylinder and then use the copy option to produce the full cylinder I get problems when writing the mesh file using 'Write Calculation File' option. When I output the node numbers and corresponding cordinates, with boundary code, to a *.dat file certain nodal co-ordinates are repeated. This causes my FE code to crash in its initial stages.

I am using the *canRepeat* command in the *.bas file for surface pressures which are written later, so i assume this is not the problem.

I'm using the copy option with the quarter cylinder since you need six surfaces to use hexahedra elements. The in-built cylinder creator is only valid for 2D problems. Can anyone help me with this problem??

Thanks in advance,
Matthew Profit

In the copy window, Uncheck the option "Duplicate entities" to not create overlaped entities
or use Collapse of the geometry after copy entities

Hello,

I'm postprocessing some results and I want to superimpose the deformed mesh 
over the original configuration.
I want to use a different color for deformed and undeformed mesh in hidden 
lines view mode.
At present, I set a color for the volume set (in Windows -> View style), 
then I change it with Options->Change color->Volume sets->myset.
Then I choose viewing deformed mesh in Windows->Deform mesh
Sometimes it works.
Which is the best way to do it? (I use GiD 6.2.0b.)

On: Mon Jan 14 17:19:02 CET 2002



Hello,

More or less that's the way.
1. select 'hidden lines' in display style.
2. open the 'mesh deformation window' under menu 'windows'->'Deform mesh'.
3. select 'deformation' with the result you want to use in the 'Main Geometry'
     section. selec 'Original' in the 'Reference geometry' of the same window.
4. change the color of the mesh.

In 'figure0.png' is an example and in 'window0.gif' the options selected in the
'deform mesh' window:
when the file was read, the mesh colour was the dark yellow. After doing
steps 1., 2., 3., on the 4. step, the colour was changed to red.
As the 'main geomtry' is deformed, up now all the visualization changes will be
made to the deformed meshes: view results, colour changes, display styles, ...

You can also do the other way:
set the 'main geomtry' to original and deform the 'reference geometry'. 
Then, all the changes will be made over the original mesh.

--- a brief explanation of the 'deform mesh' window ---

there are three ways to work with deformations

1· show the original and the deformed mesh and viewing 
     the results over the DEFORMED mesh and change its colour,
2· show the original and the deformed mesh and viewing 
     the results over the ORIGINAL mesh and change its colour, and
3· show the deformations of two differemt steps and viewing
     the results over one of them and change its colour.

open the 'mesh deformation' windows, under menu 'windows'->'Deform mesh'.
there are two parts:
· Main geometry: this name referes to the mesh that you ar using normally,
     were you are viewing the result and which you can change its colours, etc.
· Reference geometry: this refers to a 'copy of the mesh', just for viewing purposes.
     Only using this window you are able to modify this 'copy'. So the changes
     you done to the meshes ( colour changes, display style, ...) are fixed for this
     'copy'. No results visualization is done over tis 'copy'. It is like a photo.

for instance: 
for 'figure1.png':
1. display style to 'boundaries'
2. deform mesh acording to 'window1.gif': deform the mesh so that i can draw results
     over the deformed mesh, and set the 'reference geometry' to 'original' to compare
     with the deformed. 
3. display 'contour fill' of desplacements.

for 'figure2.png':
1. display style to 'body' and transparent
2. leave the 'main geometry' to original, so that i can draw vectors over it, and
     deform the 'reference geometry' just to view the deformation. Look at 'window2.gif'
3. change the display style to 'boundaries', tornunig the transparency off
4. display vectors 'Nodal Stress'

You can also compare two deformations: 'figure3.png':
1. display style to 'body'
2. in the first section of the 'deformation window', 'window3.gif': the 'main geometry' 
     is deformed using the 'DESPLACEMENTS' of Step 4 (LOAD ANALYSIS), and
   in the second section, the 'reference geometry' is deformed according to the 
     'DESPLACEMENTS' of Step 2. Note that the factor is de same: 120 to make a good 
     comparation.
3. Both representations have the same color: dark yellow. now its time to change the 
     color: in 'display style' window we change the color of the mesh to red. As 
     'figure3.png' shows, the meshes which we deformed in the 'main geomtry' section are 
     the ones with the colour changed, not the ones in the 'reference geometry' section.

Hope it helps,

miguel

Hello,

I do not find any readme on the FTP site about the latest 
gidwin 6.2.0.d version. Can you indicate us the 
modifications done in that version?

Thanks.

gidlistHello all!
    I have tried to make those post-processing files by hand for programming 
purpose but it doesn't seem to work properly. Can someone point out my errors?
Thanks in advance.I am using GID6.2d.

Send by: Miguel A. de Riera Pasenau
On: Fri Jan 18 11:05:03 CET 2002



Hello, the problems are:

1.msh:
     in the first line: 'Mesh "solid1" dimension 3 ElemType Tetrahedral Nnode 4'
     ElemType should be 'Tetrahedra' and not 'Tetrahedral'.
     At the end of the file, a new line is needed after 'end elements' 
     ( will be correted for the next version)
1.res:
     The 'ResultRangesTable' is not wel defined, you wrote: 
                    ResultRangesTable  "Mi table"
                        -e-01   - -e-03 ; "Less"
                        -e03  -  -e-06  ; "Normal"
                        -e-06  -        ; "Too much" 
                    End ResultRangesTable
     and should be:
                    ResultRangesTable  "Mi table"
                        -1e-01  -  -1e-03  : "Less"
                        -1e-03  -  -1e-06  : "Normal"
                        -1e-06  -          : "Too much" 
                    End ResultRangesTable
     Note the changes: '-e-01' to '-1e-01', ...
      this is a guess: '-e03' to '-1e-03'
                  and: ';' to ':'
     With these changes, a 'bug' appeared in this beta, a workaround would be:
                    ResultRangesTable  "Mi table"
                        -0.1  -  -0.001  : "Less"
                        -0.001  -  -0.000001  : "Normal"
                        -0.000001  -          : "Too much" 
                    End ResultRangesTable

i send enclosed the corrected files and an image.

                  [GiDlist] Finite diffrence (FD)

Send by: Solihi
On: Sat Jan 19 11:20:02 CET 2002



It is mentioned that GID can be customized with FD method but FD is based on the grid (points) not the elements, and I think GID doesn't generate grid.

                              [GiDlist] Finite diffrence (FD)

Send by: Javier Mora
On: Sat Jan 19 16:39:01 CET 2002



Some people is already working with GiD for finite difference based
programs. There is a work called "Voltage-Current based Finite-Difference
Time-Domain Method using GiD Pre-Processor" presented by Arnaldo Wilson and
Junior Artuzi to the upcoming "1st Conference on Advances and Applications
of GiD".

Indeed, the Finite-Difference method needs a grid (points) and not the
elements, so depending on the specific implementation of the method, you
have just to list the nodes of the GiD mesh. The only aspect to take care
about, for the most usual FD case, is that you have to create a structured
mesh (for 2D, in the menu, meshing – structured – surfaces) and you will
have a better control of the nodes distribution.

Hi,

i understand you want to see different variables over nodes:
If you have two freedoms on a node in dimension 3, that is
two different variable, then you have to create two result
blocks, one for each:

Result "variable_1" "analysis" step_val variable_type onNodes

if you have displacements and damage factor, then the blocks would
look like these:

Result "Displacements" "Load Analysis"  1  Vector OnNodes
Values
...
End Values

Result "Damage factor" "Load Analysis"  1  Scalar OnNodes
Values
...
End Values
 
and so on.

you can look at the example in the on-line manual:

with 6.1.4.c i got:

and i like it. But with 6.2.0.c version i got bad mesh, it tends to concentrate
elements in a line (it is a sat import file), i try to assign another size element,
but ignore my command.
the mesh with new version is:

is it a bug?, i think, i loose control over the mesh.
Sometimes when i mix structured with nonstructured mesh, it concentrate the mesh in
any place.
Thanks again.

Check if all the meshing preferences are equal (surface mesher, automatic correct sizes, transition size...)

Please, send us the sample to test it.

Hi everybody,

finally we could solve the problems with the mailing list which arised
when two firewalls were installed.
Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience.
Hope this list will continue being a discussion forum, a suggestion mailbox,

Hi,
I want to create the geometry of my model in a batch file (.pro). How could 
I use
the existing points to create lines, instead of creating new points? I 
noticed that
at the beginning of your examples, you set ' utilities variable 
createalwaynewpoint 1 '
Is this the command I should change?
Thanks.

On: Wed Mar 13 15:45:02 CET 2002



Before pick a point, select "Join" to pick old points (pick in screen or write your label number) or "NoJoin" to create a new point.

For example
escape escape escape Geometry create point
0.0 0.0 0.0
1.0 0.0 0.0
escape
escape escape escape Geometry create Line
Join
1
2
escape

The variable CreateAlwaysNewPoint  is set to 1 in some batchs to create always a new point ,over another in the same location, without user confirmation (see Help for Utilities->Preferences->General)
Create new point: It alters the way how the points are entered in GiD
(see section Point definition). Options are:
Always: If trying to create a new point in the vicinity of an existing one, the
new point is always created.
Ask: If trying to create a new point in the vicinity of an existing one, GiD asks
the user whether to make use of the existing point or create a new one.
Never: Only allows to select existing points. It can be changed
interactively when in creation point mode by setting No join until all
points are entered.

Hello, All

I'm trying to postprocess for my Gauss stresses. My model consists of 4 node quadrilateral element and Linear Beam element. From my solver module, I'm only extracting the stresses from Gauss points of quadrlateral elements. Can we do this without the result stresses from other elements? If I can, could you cehck my header of *.flavia.res.  I appreciate your help
 
My file is 

Suppose element 1~30 is beam(linear) element. So I don't extract the results for these.

You can download a more recente version,for example, the beta version 6.2.0d
from the GiD web page http://gid.cimne.upc.es (download beta versions)

Your GiD 6 password is also valid for this beta version

Each result must be write as a isolated scalar result

Actually only can write results of type scalar, vector(R3) or matrix.

It not exist the concept of group of scalar results (and the eight DOF are not a vector, does not have sense for example calculate the modulus)

We are thinking some possibility to make this grouping, with the object of visualizing grouped them in the menus.

You can dowload from the web page http://gid.cimne.upc.es the Advanced course documentation of the GiD Courses previous to the 1st Conference on Advances and Applications of GiD  (Barcelona 20, 21 and 22 February 2002).

Inside the Word document: A2-Problem type details.doc, see the chapter 5. "INSTRUCTION *tcl IN THE .bas FILE".

This is the chapter:

5.   INSTRUCTION *tcl IN THE .bas FILE
In the .bas file, that GiD takes as a template for writing the file for calculus, it can be used a special *tcl(parameter) function, with which we can make complicated operations in tcl, or for example we can access to data of GiD obtained from tcl with the info command.

In the next example we want to obtain information of the geometric entities of GiD. Without the tcl instruction, from the *.bas file there's only access to mesh data, but not to the geometric entities.

For example, imagine we need to know the surface to which the elements belong and which is the entirely definition of that surface. 

It can be used the field #FUNC(NumEntity) for checking with a condition on the entity ( that will be its number as entity ) every element which comes from that entity, so we can know the entity from which comes every mesh element. We can use the *.tcl instruction for writing the information of that surface, as showed in this example GeomInfoBas.tcl:

GeomInfoBas.cnd file:

NUMBER: 1 CONDITION: Surface_Id

CONDTYPE: over surfaces

CONDMESHTYPE: over face elems

QUESTION: Num_Entity#FUNC#(NumEntity)

VALUE: 0

STATE: HIDDEN

END CONDITION

(Note that there can be created occult fields with STATE:HIDDEN)

GeomInfoBas.tcl file:

proc InitGIDProject { dir } {

}

 

proc EndGIDProject {} {

}

 

proc NumSurfaces { } {

  set a [.central.s info list_entities Status]

  regexp -nocase {number of surfaces: ([0-9]+)} $a none num

  return $num

}

 

proc WriteAllSurfacesInfo { } {

   return [.central.s info list_entities Surfaces 1:[NumSurfaces]]

}

 

proc WriteSurfaceInfo { num } {

   return [.central.s info list_entities Surfaces $num]

}

GeomInfoBas.bas file:

NUM_ELEM FACE_CONECTIVITIES NUM_SURFACE

In the tcl file there have been defined three entities: NumSurfaces returns the number of surfaces of the model, whereas WriteSurfaceInfo prints in the calculus file the definition of the surface indicated in its parameter "num"; finally, WriteAllSurfacesInfo has no parameters and prints all surfaces.

In the .bas file there are written the elements and the origin surface number, with *Cond(Num_Entity,int), and then there are listed all surfaces.

Here are shown in two columns an arbitrary file example, obtained with that problem type.

                  [GiDlist] Postprocessing - Interpolation

Send by: Kendon, Tim
On: Thu Mar 14 10:47:02 CET 2002



Hello there!

Does GID have the capabalilities to interpolate a set of values associated
with a set of scattered data points to a generated mesh? 

In a typical numerical work this might be done by Delauney triangularization
of the scattered data points (2D problem) and then local interpolation
within each triangular to the vertices of the mesh.

Can anyone help with this request??

Alternatively can GID mesh through a set of scattered data points? Seems to
me I need at least lines to mesh.


Many thanks

Internally, GiD can create a Delaunay mesh or triangles from a set or points
(2D or 3D projected in 2D), but this capability is not public.

You can use some program as "Surfer" (www.goldensoftware.com) for your
pourposes.

Hi,

I'm running the latest beta 6.2.0d of GID.

I want to show data on hexahedra elements with 8 nodes and 8 integration 
points, but the
output looks like the position of the gausspoints are not according to my 
assumption
(gausspoint 1 close to node 1 and so on).

Is there somwhere an explanation on this?

Hello,

Yes, the gauss internal gauss points used for hexahedrals are the ones
showed in the following picture, which corresponds to the gauss points 'PG 8 int'
of the attached example 'hex.msh/.res'.

To get the order you want, you can enter the natural coordinates in the 
order you need, like the gauss points 'PG 8 given' in the same example file.

As the results values are the numbers of the gauss points, when you look at 
the 'results labels', you will see the number of the gauss point.

the gauss points pixtures for 3d elements will be add very soon to the manual.

thanks

1) You must apply the condition Volume_Id over the geometric entities (surfaces??) and remesh.

2) The condition is defined in projectname.cnd over surfaces, not over volumes, !!
the field #FUNC#(NumEntity) store the number of parent surface.

A triangle element is not created from a volume, it is created from a surface. (as it is the volume associated to a triangle of a common surface to two volumes? )

Only a tetrahedra or hexahedra can be associated to a volume.

                  [GiDlist] postprocess calculation

Send by: Mark Smith
On: Mon Mar 18 12:41:03 CET 2002



GiD6.2.0d  (Windows98)
Is there an easy way of having multiple different calculate options
available under a single problem type?
What I have in mind is the following:
I have a problem type and perform my calculation, but then I would like to
perform various postprocessing calculations depending on what I'm after,
using the results which  have been written to the .flavia.res file. If I do
this by selecting a new problem type it warns me that all data information
(materials,conditions,data) will be lost so this is not an option. I would
like to associate a different .win.bat file with the calculate button as
selected from an options list.
I hope I am making myself clear?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Mark

You can create two  *.bas template files in the problem type, and with the second bas, write "on the air" the contents of a "calc.bat" file.

Then, with the standard 'problemtype'.bat,  rename the 'problemname'-1.dat to 'calc.bat' 
and execute it:

contents of 'problemtype'.bat:
rename %2\%1-1.dat  %2calc.bat 
%2calc.bat %1 %2 %3 

The contents of 'calc.bat' is created, for example, based on some general data values.

If you define some result "OnGaussPoints", it is necessary to define before the 
location of this gauss points, (see Help->Postprocess data files->New postprocess results format)

for example:

GiD Post Results File 1.0

GaussPoints "GP1" ElemType Quadrilateral 
Number Of Gauss Points: 1
 Natural Coordinates: internal
End GaussPoints

Result "Cp" "movement" 1 Scalar OnGaussPoints "GP1"

Enrique,
Thank you, but how do I launch the calc.bat file from within GiD ?
(Sure I can do it from outside GiD but it isn't very user friendly)
 
I have created a problem_name.tcl file containing the following: 
 
proc InitGIDProject { dir } {
    
   CreateMenu "Flight" "PRE"
   InsertMenuOption "Flight" "Calc 1" 0 "run_1" "PRE"
   UpdateMenus
}
 
proc EndGIDProject {} {
}

 
Is there any way of launching the  calc.bat or a console application
run_1.exe when I press the Calc 1 button under the Flight menu?
 
 
in the HTML manual InsertMenuOption is defined as:
 
InsertMenuOption {menu_name option_name position command prepost} 
Creates a new option for a given menu in a given position (positions start
at 0). If it already exists an option in the given position, that option is
substituted by the new one. 

*	menu_name: name of the menu where you want to insert the new option.


*	option_name: name of the new option you want to insert. If
option_name is "---", then , a separator line is inserted in the menu. 

*	position: position in the menu where the option has to be inserted.
Note that positions start at 0, and separator lines also count. 

*	command: is the command called when the menu option is selected. 

*	prepost: this argument can have the following values: 
"PRE" to insert the option in the preprocess menus 
"POST" to insert the option in the postprocess menus 
or "PREPOST" to insert the option in the pre and postprocess menus 

can anyone explain the usage of  command?
 
Many thanks
Mark

If run_1.exe is located inside the problemtype directory:
Save the parameter dir of InitGIDProjec in a global variable:e.g. VarAuxPriv(DirProblemType) to use later this path.

You can use WarnWinText "text" to debug your tcl code

proc InitGIDProject { dir } {
   global VarAuxPriv
   set VarAuxPriv(DirProblemType) $dir
}

proc run_1 { }  {
  #this line WarnWinText must be commented
  WarnWinText "EXECUTE: $VarAuxPriv(DirProblemType)/run_1.exe"

Tipically, these type of problems are caused by the graphics acceleration card. 

A possibility to avoid the problem is the following:
Try to start GiD safe mode (from the start menu) and activate use Software OpenGL
                   
If the problem persists, try to deactivate the graphic hardware acceleration
(Screen properties->Advanced options).
Also try a different colour resollution (select 32 bits of colour for example)

Search in the web page of your card if there are actualized drivers for your graphic card.

                  [GiDlist] sphere meshing question

Send by: Oguz Tanzer
On: Fri Mar 22 05:01:01 CET 2002



Hi,
Could you describe step by step how to create a 3D
mesh(or structure) from 2D. For example, 3D box from a
2D square? I couldn't find a step by step solution for
this in the manual or elsewhere.

My final aim is to mesh a sphere with hexahedral
elements and this could not be done unless I form the
geometry myself. Using a ready made sphere(from the
menu) and meshing results in a tetrahedral mesh.

Thanks a lot!
Tanzer-

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Fri Mar 22 18:08:01 CET 2002



To create a box from a square is easy using the copy window:
selection: surface
tranformation: translation (set relative coordinate for second point, e.j
0,0,5.0)
extrude: volume

Then select the square surface and press escape

To learn GiD, download the tutorials from the web page.

Create a sphere to mesh with hexahedral is difficult: GiD only create
hexahedral structured meshes: the sphere volume must contain 6 boundary
surfaces:
See attached sample (you can scale this sample to your desired size).

                  [GiDlist] Automatic Grid Refinement

Send by: Nico.Scheerlinck at agr.kuleuven.ac.be
On: Sat Mar 23 04:55:02 CET 2002



Dear GiD-Users, 
Is anybody familiar with grid-refinement procedures in GiD?
For my application I have a complex 3D geometry (strawberry) 
in which I want to make some refinements only at the interior part 
(central region) of the mesh. 
Since this is hard to do in a manual way, I was wondering if there 
is an automatic refinement tool available in GiD. 

Many thanks

GiD can assign mesh sizes to points, lines, surfaces or volumes.
To refine the interior, try to assing a size to boundary points, lines and
surfaces,
and another small size to the volume.
Select also in preferences a transition factor fast or slow as needed.

This will charge the GiD team even more, but it is the only way to avoid

GiD not read the ANSYS format.
Try, if it is possible, to export the geometry in IGES, VDA, Parasolid, Acis
or DXF format.
Try export the mesh in NASTRAN format.

You can also create a owner program to read the ansys mesh output and
re-write in GiD format
This mesh GiD format is easy, see help, files mesh read.
Yu can create a mesh and write it in ascii format with Import/Export->Write
Mesh.

                  [GiDlist] surface mesh

Send by: Oguz Tanzer
On: Thu Mar 28 14:14:01 CET 2002



Hi,
This is yet another simple question(YASQ). How can you
save a surface mesh(of a sphere) when you see the
elements in "Boundary" mode? Or restating, how can you
create a surface mesh only(again for a sphere).
Regardless of the surface meshing option I choose, the
program creates, tetrahedra and meshes the whole
volume. 
Regards,
Tanzer

On: Thu Mar 28 16:01:01 CET 2002



1) By default, GiD mesh the volume (with tetrahedras) and not create the
surface elements (truiangles) for the boundary surfaces.

- If you delete the volume, then are generated the desired triangles.

- Also, you can force to not mesh the volume and mesh the surfaces whitout
delete the volume:
Meshing->MesCriteria->NoMesh->Volumes (and select the volumes to not mesh)
Meshing->MesCriteria->Mesh->Surfaces (and select the surfaces to force mesh)

2) If you only have a volume mesh, but not a geometry to re-mesh the
boundary surfaces,
you can create the boundary triangle elements with "Meshing CreateBoundary"
(this option is only available with the right buttons, hidden by default).
Note: this is different of "Meshing Boundaries" that only visualize the
boundary, but not create triangles.

Enrique

                  [GiDlist] Question...

Send by: Alisson at dees.ufmg.br
On: Tue Apr 9 16:21:01 CEST 2002



Hello,

   I'm new in GiD, trying to adapt preprocessor to a 3D- BEM 
analysis problem, using triangular surface elements in a defined 
finite domain.
   In this analysis, the elements in the mesh should be the same 
normal orientation - pointing to inside or outside the domain.
   Is it possible to define the normal direction as "inside or  outside" 
the problem domain, or to impose all the normals to point in  one of 
this directions? Which is the criterion to define the normal to an 
triangular surface element? 

May you help me?   thanks !

See  reference manual (help): utilities draw normals

By default, creating a volume, the surfaces are oriented to point inside (if
it is possible)

The normals can be showed (by vectors or by colors), and changed to be
coherents (use swap group).

The normal of a element is the same as the normal of the parent surface.



The command DrawNormals draws the normals of the selected surfaces or lines

Surfaces belonging to the plane z=0 will have, by default, its normal
oriented towards the z positive. Then, they are defined as anti-clockwise
surfaces in 2D.

It is possible to swap the sense of the normals when the corresponding
surfaces do not belong to higher entities.

Options are:

  a.. Swap some: changes the sense of the normals of the surfaces after
selecting them again.
  b.. All swaped: changes the sense of all selected surfaces, asking for
confirmation for the change.
  c.. Swap group: changes normals of all selected surfaces or elements so as
all of them have its normal to the same sense that adjacent entities. This
sense is arbitrary but common to all adjacent entities.
  d.. Sel by normal: user is prompt to enter a vector and selection is
reduced to entities that have their normal in the same sense (dot product
positive) as the given normal.
  e.. Color: With this option set, all surfaces are draw with filled color.
Their front side will be drawn with their regular color, and their back face
with yellow.

To modify the normals by default, you can use in the menu, "Utilities - Draw
normals - Surfaces". You can also use it to modify the normals of the
elements in the mesh.

There are more information in the help "Utilities - Draw surface normals":

Command DrawNormals. Surfaces draws the normals of the selected surfaces.

Surfaces belonging to the plane z=0 will have, by default, its normal
oriented towards the z positive. Then, they are defined as anti-clockwise
surfaces in 2D.

It is possible to swap the sense of the normals when the corresponding
surfaces do not belong to higher entities.

Options are:

Swap some: changes the sense of the normals of the surfaces after selecting
them again.
All swaped: changes the sense of all selected surfaces, asking for
confirmation for the change.
Swap group: changes normals of all selected surfaces or elements so as all
of them have its normal to the same sense that adjacent entities.
This sense is arbitrary but common to all adjacent entities.
Sel by normal: user is prompt to enter a vector and selection is reduced to
entities that have their normal in the same sense (dot product positive) as
the given normal.
Color: With this option set, all surfaces are draw with filled color.

Their front side will be drawn with their regular color, and their back face
with yellow.

Note: Volumes are correctly oriented by GiD, regardless of their surface
orientation.

I'm trying to mesh a solid with a hole. I do the following:

1. Create the main volume
2. Create the hole volume
3. Choose Geometry|Create|Volume|Hole and choose first the main volume and 
the the hole volume as prompted.
4. I then try to generate the mesh and the following message appears:

Stopped meshing near point: 1.414214 0.471405 9.166667
Elements generated: 122. Faces in last front: 142
Status error for tetrahedra mesher is: Couldn't find point

What am I doing wrong?

Mel.

Choose another Meshing Preferences (Utilities->Preferences)

- Try for example: mesher=RSurf, Automatic correct sizes=Selected, and
Unstructured size transitions=0.7
- Choose a mesh size appropiate to the body size.

You can also assign a specified unstructured size to points, lines, surfaces
or volumes.

If this fail, send us the sample to check it
(indicate your GiD version, see  Help->About)

If you are speaking for the post process part, it is already in the
TODO list. I think it'll be present for version 7.x, but not for 7.0.

for the preprocess part, it is not present in the todo list,
but it is an interesting idea. 
Which situations do you think, this feature will be interesant?

Yes, I was talking about the preprocess phase.

I think it could be useful when you are making corrections over a  _very 
complex_ model (using GiD as a CAD) and you need to change some surfaces in 
the interior of volumes (an "hand-made" defeaturing :-)).

Then, you could visualize some parts as shaded and what you want to change 
as wireframe.
Otherwise you see a lot of lines or only the exterior of the model.

Thank you and regards

OS win98  GiD 6.3.0
Hi Gidteam,
1) Do you have any plans for the html browser plugin to support animated
gifs ? It doesn't show them at this moment.
2)  I produce a results file with a sequence of displacements of a point at
known time intervals i.e.


Result "Displacements" "movement" 1 Vector OnNodes
Values
224 2.2830e-004   8.7118e-007   1.2855e+000
end values
Result "Displacements" "movement" 2 Vector OnNodes
Values
224 1.1230e-003   3.9503e-006   2.6389e+000
end values

etc......................

Is there a method of associating a time value at each step  so that
Utilities:graphics:comments displays the time rather than just the step
number during an animation?

Thanks in advance
Mark

1) the html browser uses Tk's gif image widget, and 
until now we didn't thought showing animated gifs in gid's html help.
It is an interesting option, we can include it in the plan
for the next version of gid.

2)
To show the time value, just write it on the results header, 
instead of the step number, in your case:

Result "Displacements" "movement" 0.5 Vector OnNodes
# note the time step value -------^^^
Values
224 2.2830e-004   8.7118e-007   1.2855e+000
end values

Result "Displacements" "movement" 1.0 Vector OnNodes
# note the time step value -------^^^
Values
224 1.1230e-003   3.9503e-006   2.6389e+000
end values

Result "Displacements" "movement" 1.5 Vector OnNodes
# note the time step value -------^^^
Values
224 1.1230e-003   3.9503e-006   2.6389e+000
end values

Result "Displacements" "movement" 2.0 Vector OnNodes
# note the time step value -------^^^
Values
224 1.1230e-003   3.9503e-006   2.6389e+000
end values

for time steps 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0.

You can create a field with a unlimited number of rows in a condition, material or general data:

QUESTION: Internal_Points(X,Y,Z)

#N#3 0.0 0.0 0.0 -->Initially 3 values: 0.0, 0.0, 0.0

Then Matprop(Internal_Points) store a vector={Nº dates,X0,Y0,Z0,X1,Y1,Z1,...,Xn,Yn,Zn} for n+1 rows
Matprop(Internal_Points,int)  return the number of components of this vector

file *.bas
*loop materials
*if(strcmp(Matprop(TypeId),"Metal")==0)
*set var N=Matprop(Internal_Points,int)
X Y Z
*for(i=1;i<=N;i=i+3)
*Matprop(Internal_Points,*i) *Matprop(Internal_Points,*operation(i+1))  *Matprop(Internal_Points,*operation(i+2))

Q1) is there any way of suppressing or changing:		Deformation

Hi,

it is only possible to switch on or of (utilities->Graphical->coments)
the complete automatic comments, not just one part.
i'll remove the '_' which, in fact, should not be present.

these automatic comments are generated inside GiD, not in tcltk scripts.
a good idea will be to let the user create its own comments, a la 'word',
i.e. for instace: 'showing %r at step %s', being '%r' the name of the
displayed result and '%s' the current step. -> next version of GiD.

On: Mon Apr 29 18:44:01 CEST 2002



Dear GiDteam.
I downloaded the recent course notes and installed the VRMLout problem type
but it seems that GiD orders the nodes of triangular elements in a way which
is not 100% vrml   IndexedFaceSet   compatible (some elements appear
invisible)  swapping the node ordering on certain elements solves the
problem.
I realise that the VRMLout was only an example problem type but any
suggestions about element renumbering would be helpful.

In GiD, you can swap group surface normals to force a desired orientation,
but if it is
desired view front and back it is necessary write two repeated triangles
with opposite normals?

I' unknow the VRML order to show the thwo faces.

                  [GiDlist] material files/ problem types v.6.1.2

I recently updraded from v.5 to v.6.1.2, and now I am having problems 
utilizing my .mat files. In v.5, I only had to place the <name>.mat file 
in a directory called <name>.gid and from the Data menu choose the 
problem type <name>. In v.6, when I do the same, I get the following:

"This type of problem does not exist, enter new problem type name:"

The pre-installed problem types work fine though.

What am I doing wrong?

Please, send us your problem type. (the calculation exe is not necessary)

This version 6.1.2 possibly requires a file *.prb or *.bas in addition of
the *.mat

Try also to update to the last beta version (6.3.0b for Windows)

If you use GiD 6.1.2 version, then must create a file "FEM.bas"
(FEM.bas can be void if is not really used as template to write a
calculation file)

If you update the program to GiD 6.3.0b (beta version), it is not necessary
create this void .bas file
Note: your password for GiD 6 remain valid for all the beta versions 6.x

                  [GiDlist] VRMLout and GiD6.3.0b

Send by: Mark Smith
On: Wed May 1 02:27:01 CEST 2002



Answered my own question. The problem can be rectified by changing the
following lines in the VRMLout.bas file:

 geometry
*if(I==1)
  IndexedFaceSet {
*else

To:

 geometry
*if(I==1)
  IndexedFaceSet {
      solid  FALSE
*else

The solid FALSE shows both faces of the triangle elements so it doesn't
matter what way round they are.

My vrml viewer does not like  files zipped with pkzip so use gzip instead
http://www.gzip.org/ and modify the bat file to contain the line (put
gzip.exe in the VRML problem type directory)

%3gzip.exe -c %1.wrl > %1.wrz

Regards
Mark

Hi,

You code must create a file 'problemname'.flavia.res with this content:

Result "Velocity" "Estatic" 1 Vector OnNodes
ComponentNames "Vx", "Vy", "Vz", "|Velocity|"
Values
1 0 0 0 0
2 0.000266826 -4.13918e-05 -3.07624e-06 0.000270035
...
End Values

Note: the fourth value (|Velocity|) of a vectorial result, the vector modulus, is optional.

The usual way to write vectors is this:

Result "Velocity" "Estatic" 1 Vector OnNodes
ComponentNames "Vx", "Vy", "Vz"
Values
1 0 0 0
2 0.000266826 -4.13918e-05 -3.07624e-06
...
End Values

the possibility to write the fourth component of the vector, the 'signed modulus',
is provided to draw the beam diagrams properly as the picture shows.
Note how the beam diagram is drawn, above and under the bar, 
and the 'signed module' values.

Dear GID TEAM,

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  I can not get 7.0 beta working.

I tried installing version 7.0 beta on a windows 2000 machine that has also
a Linux dual boot set up.

Recently I switched by GID license from windows to Linux on the same
machine.

When I try to start GID version 7.0 beta the screen comes up with the GID
interface for less than 1/10 sec and then disappears.  I did not know if
this is a new GID graphics problem or perhaps a license problem when I try
to run the academic windows version where there was once a licensed
professional version that is deactivated.

This is a problem with the graphic card (not with the password)

A possibility to avoid the problem is the following: Try to start GiD safe
mode (from the start menu) and activate use Software OpenGL. If the problem
persists, try to deactivate the graphic hardware acceleration (Screen
properties->Advanced options). Also try a different colour resolutions
(select 32 bits of colour for example) Search in the web page of your card
if there are actualized drivers for your graphic card

Note: This version 7.0-Beta includes the possibility of concentrate elements
near or far both end points of a curve, as you suggest in a previous mail.

Download GiD 7.0.1-Beta.
This version includes a directory /templates to contain some .bas files, to
export the mesh

Are includes four templates: VRML, DXF, STL and NASTRAN.
(any user can add his own templates)

You can write a mesh of lines directly in VRML format whitout load a problem
type with:
Files->Export->Using Template .bas (only mesh)->VRML

If you have a mesh of surfaces, you can also write as DXF, then re-load this
DXF file in GiD (to convert
each element in a surface), delete all surfaces, and generate a new mesh
from the lines to export as VRML

                  [GiDlist] How to define a standard of connection

Hello:

    I am a new user of GiD. Some questions confuse me for a long time.

    How can I define a standard of connection? In the manual, it gives a figure with the order of each node. But there is no a coordination was defined, does node 1 --> 2 define the X axis, 1-->4 define Y axis, and 1--> 5 define Z axis?  

    When I write a my.bas to output those date, it appears that the connection order have relation with sequence of points define. If it is true, I must take attention the sequence of points when modeling. How can I control the sequence to get a order just same with the figure in manual?



Please help me.

A element must be located in any position in 3D (not necessary parallel to coordinates axis)

The connectivies rules are (for hexahedral): 
- the first face is defined by the nodes: 1-2-3-4 (local numeration)
- the opposite face is defined by: 5-6-7-8
- other edges connect: 1-5,  2-6 , 3-7, 4-8
- The element is oriented with this sense: 
  the normal to the first face, (defined by the vectorial product 1-2 X 2-3) point to the opposite face (point inside)

This is bug of GiD parsing the condition if(z<=e1)
 the variable e1 is evaluated incorrectly as a exponential number 0e1, not as the variable named e1, 
and the result is only true if z<=0

This bug is corrected for the next GiD version.

You can avoid this bug if not use names as e"number" (e1, e206, etc) for the variables.

Thanks again for the prompt reply, unfortunately what you say is only part
of the answer. It appears that none of the variables a1 b1 m1 etc are
treated correctly. If I  replace  a1 by aa b1 by bb etc everything goes as
expected.
Maybe best not to have a mixture of alpha and numeric for variable manes?

I have problems running GID on a computer with a graphic card Matrox Millenium G550: it seems that by moving the cursor over the pre- and postprocess graphic area, the processing power of the computer is comletely saturated. Do I need another driver? The actual driver package installed on the computer is 5.82.018, the driver 5.13.01.1320.

- Try to start GiD, the first time, with the 'GiD safe mode' option (from MS
Windows start menu), and select
use a Software OpenGL.
- In this fail, then search in the Windows screen properties panel a option
to deactivate the graphic acceleration (some Windows require restart the
machine after the change).
In some cards, the acceleration is automatically disconnected selecting to
display with 256 colors or true color.

Try also a more updated driver (it exists a Beta 5.84) from the graphic card

hello!
I am a Chinese student and often use GID. Now I use ver 6.1.2. I want to write a problemtype which can write a file to my calculating program,but I must use the layers. But I can't find the command about output how many layers,so I write a program with TCL which can output the number of layers. But now I meet a question: the number of layer outputting by my TCL program is a string,when I use this number in loop in *.bas,it do not work correctly.

Could you tell me who to tranform the string into a integer number?

My best wish to your!

In principle, the help of each version would have to reflect
the valid syntax of its *.bas commands, inside the section

It is also possible that some order is documented something later, after a

As far as the postprocess format question, its case with seven values

On: Wed Jun 12 10:22:02 CEST 2002



Hi there,

I am trying to write a postprocess module inside Tochnog for GiD (Tochnog
did, but in the old format). The problem is that even I can write the mesh
correctly, I cannot write the Results. I tried to study the file from
Rambshell example, but it has many fields that are not in the documentation,
so I don't know what are they for.

I attach my mesh and result files (Note: tube1.flavia.msh is not the file
directly produced, but one lighty touched by hand).

Another thing, when you write a Vector result, two or three results are
expected depending on the dimension of the mesh. What if you want to put
three variables in a vector even in a plane mesh? (for example, in a plane
stress problem, you have a transversal movement depending on the thickness;
I know that is inmediate to obtain it, but by now you cannot write this
result directly).


Best,

Your files are ok.
NOTE: To read this new postprocess format is required GiD version 6.1.4b or
higher.

Download the last GiD beta version from the web http://gid.cimne.com

This format is documented inside the help of each version
(you can see also the online manual directly from the web)

You can write a 3D vector result for a 2D mesh (really the 2D mesh is stored
as 3D with z=0)

If you desire to apply a same condition (same name with different values) more of one times to a entity, 
this condition must be declared as CANREPEAT: yes in the *.cnd file. 
If CANREPEAT: no (default), then the second same condition replaces the first:

Sample *.cnd:

NUMBER: 1 CONDITION: Face-Load
CONDTYPE: over lines
CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements
CANREPEAT: yes
QUESTION: X_preassure:
VALUE: 0
HELP: 2D case, X force for length unit
QUESTION: Y_preassure
VALUE: 0
HELP: 2D case, Y force for length unit
END CONDITION

Inside the bas file also exist a *CanRepeat keyword:
If command *CanRepeat is added after *nodes or *elems in *Set cond, one entity can be several 
times in the entities list of the loop. If command *NoCanRepeat is used, entities will be just once
in the entities list. 
By default, *CanRepeat is off except for the case of one condition that have the *CanRepeat flag already set.

Sample *.bas:

*Set Cond Face-Load *elems *canrepeat
*# if *canrepeat is missing, it is assumed by default  in this case, 
*# because Face-Load have CANREPEAT: yes
*loop elems *OnlyInCond
  Elem number=*elemsnum, Nodes of the loaded face= *globalnodes Px=*cond(X_preassure) Py=*cond(Y_preassure)
*end elems

The usual work mode is to apply the conditions over the geometric entities
(points, lines, surfaces, volumes),
not directly to mesh (nodes, elements), and after generate the mesh.
If you apply the load over a surface, then this load is transferred to all
the face of elements generated from this surface.

If you apply the load directly over the elements, then are selected all the
element faces contained in the boundary mesh.
Note: the conditions directly applied over the mesh are lost if you remesh.

Hi all,

is there any way to use contact PRISMA elements (I name them also interface

When I try in GiD 6.3.0b or in GiD 7.0 , the program ends with an error.

The option works fine with the linear elements.

Is this a change that can be performed with the tcl scripts in the GiD release?

This is a bug, mesh generation of volume contacts fail with quadratic
tetrahedra.
(on the other hand, although it did not fail, would be only generated linear
prisms)

This error must be fixed inside the C++ code of GiD, is not possible to
solve from the tcl scripts .

                  [GiDlist] Mesh element quality

Send by: Mark Smith
On: Tue Jun 11 12:59:02 CEST 2002



Win98 GiD 6.3.0b

I am using gid to produce 100% linear triangle surface elements, using the
mesh quality facility with the quality criteria of minimum angle I can
highlight elements with minimum angle less than my requirement. My question
is there ant way for the meshing algorithm to be forced not to produce
triangles with a minimum angle less than my criteria say 15° (for example) ?

If there is no automatic way then under Utilities:preferences:meshing I
select surface mesher RSurf, enable mesh until end & automatic correct
sizes, unstructured size transitions 0.0 (slowest) and smoothing normal, are
these the best settings I can select?

Thanks in advance
Mark

P.S. any news on the version 7 for windows?

It is not possible to set the minimun angle to obtain, some surfaces would
be
impossible of meshing  imposing this limit.

RSurf generate the mesh directly in 3D, and usually (not allways) this mesh
is better than
the one of Rfast (mapped from 2D to 3D).

Try smoothing HigthAngle to enhance some bad angles.

P.S. We hoped to have the official GiD version 7  this week.

Dear group.

For those of you writing your own solvers who might, like me have been
mystified why piped output to the "output info window" doesn't arrive as
expected and have wondered why, this is because stdout is buffered, If you
are coding in C after any printf calls you need to call fflush(stdout).
For those familiar with Tcl/Tk this probably come as no surprise but it had
me foxed for months.

but it is not one of our big priporities. By now, the 3d devices are not
asequible for the great publicum. besides institutions and big companies
there only quite a few users who have these kind of devices. personally
i didn't found anybody who uses it daily, only a few subscribers of the 
Mesa3D mailing list.

What kind of 'stereoscopic' display are you thinking of? 
And what is the objective? Working in real 3D handling geometry, 
assigning conditions, viewwing results . . .

You must create a "Contact volume" or a "Separate contact volume" (menu
Geometry->Create->Contact)
To create a Contact volume select two "identical" surfaces, located on the
same position (or with a rigid body
movement for Separate contact volume)

This "contact volume" is meshed with prismatic elements, and your
connectivities can  used to identify node pairs.

The user can also select no mesh for the contact entity. This makes it
possible to have
exactly the same mesh in both both surfaces but without any additional
element.

On: Sat Jun 15 11:06:02 CEST 2002



I can't see contour fill and contour lines from results located OnGaussPoints of hexahedra elements. 

The problem is only whit the results located OnGaussPoints, the results located OnNodes works fine:


My displazaments are located on nodes without problems





My stress are located on Gauss points an I only can see the boundary and the results table:





Anybody can help me, I attach a rar file with the mesh and results.

Advanced thanks

                  [GiDlist] Contour fill and contour lines

Send by: Miguel A. de Riera Pasenau

Hello,

which version of GiD are you using?
have you tried the last 6.3.0b version or
the new 7.0beta2, located at
ftp://gid.cimne.upc.es/pub/gid_adds/Windows ?

With the 7.0beta2 version you will get the enclosed
pictures.
Note that in the last zoomed one element the gauss points
are concentrated at one side of the element.
I don't know if this is what you want, but
to distribute the gauss points along the whole hexahedral
elements, the natural coordinates should be between
-1.0 and 1.0. For tetrahedral elements should be between 0.0 and 1.0.

I have been using the 6.1.5 version and now I´m trying with the 6.3.0b but I
can't see my results in Contour Lines format.

When I ask GiD for Countour Lines, either only the boundaries and the
results table are shown or the program crashes! I'm very interested in
countour lines in order to see the strees bulb in soils.

So, my question is the next: Is there any way to see Contour Lines
OnGaussPoints?

About your comments of the distribution of gauss points, you were right, I
had an erroneous distribution.

Tanks again!

no, you are right, by now, contour lines for gauss points
results over hexahedrals can not be done, nor even with version 7;
but for triangles and quadrilateral works.

                                          [GiDlist] questions about preprocessing

Send by: Shuo Ma

Hello,

Thanks for your help last time. Here I have three more questions.

First, is there a way to know the neighboring nodes around one specified node? I know how to get them by 
some visual tools. However, I need neighboring node numbers listed for every node in the ouput file. In 
other words, except node coordinates, element connectivities, material and conditions in my output file I 
want to get adjacent node numbers for each node. Is it possible to do that? 

Second, is there a way to assign element size for a specified volume? In the manual there are some 
instructions to show how to assign element size around a point, a line and a surface, but no volume. I saw a 
drop-down menu in the software to assign element size to a volume. However, it did not work when I tried.

Lastly, how do I generate a mesh if I have an internal boundary, such as a stright line (not even a crack, 
no void) in a 2D elastic body? It doesn't intersect with any boundaries. Can I generate a mesh for such a 
case?

Sorry these are too much. Thanks in advance.

Shuo Ma

1- Is not available from GiD the list of neighboring nodes of another node,
this information must be reconstructed
     outside GiD. Must create a external program in any language to read the
mesh and re-write this list of
     edge-connected nodes.
     This auxiliary program can be invoked automatically from the bat file
pressing the "calculate" menu.
2- You can assign a uniform size to a volume (the volumes are drawn in cyan
color). If the boundary requires a small
    size, then the element sizes it will grow gradually (according to the
transition parameter) until trying to reach the
    size prescribed  in the volume.
    To assign a non-uniform size to the volume interior must be used a
"background mesh" file: a file with a covering
    mesh and desired approximate size specified in the nodes or elements.
3- The surface must be dividided using this internal boundary: create
aditional lines to connect with the boundary and use
    "Geometry->Edit->Divide->Surfaces->Split" to break the original surface.

hi!
Now I want to write a TCL file with TCL Language in order to expand GID. If I call tcl-subroutine(or function) in *.bas, I want to get the value of several variants which are define in tcl-subroutine.
Now,I only can get one value from tcl-subroutine because I use RETURN in the tcl-subroutine. If I want to get several values,what should I do?

my best wish to you!

The values of tcl are not returned to the bas file, actually is not possible to set a bas variable with a value returned from a tcl procedure.

All the results of tcl procedures called from the bas file (*tcl order) are dumped directly to the calculation file.
You can print from tcl multiple lines with a string including carriage returns "
"

Example:

proc PrintTwoLines { } {  
  set result "First Line.
Second Line"
  return $result
}

*tcl(PrintTwoLines) print directly to the calculation file this:
First Line.
Secont Line

                  [GiDlist] Export of entities from *.mat file

Send by: My VDI Freemail
On: Mon Jun 24 14:52:01 CEST 2002



Dear All

I am using an interface template, which is similar to NASTRAN. I want to use a special format for the export of material and property data (large format w/ 2 rows). The first entry in the 2nd row has to be a matprop(xx) entry, which doesn't work properly. 
I checked the version 7 (beta-2) for this output issue. It seems to be an error, because the output for this matprop(xx) works well after matnum(yy), but not as the first request!
Do you have similar experience? What can be a workaround?

Best regards,
Ruediger

I' use a 'problemtype'.mat file as this:
NUMBER: 1 MATERIAL: MatShell
QUESTION: Type#CB#(SHELL,OTHER)
VALUE: SHELL
HELP: field with Identifier pourposes
QUESTION: Thickness
VALUE: 0
HELP: shell thickness
QUESTION: E
VALUE: 0
HELP: Young modulus
END MATERIAL

Whit your 'problemtype'.bas
*loop materials
*if(strcmp(matprop(1),"SHELL")==0) 
*format "MAT1%12i%8g"
*matnum()*matprop(3)
*format "MAT1%8g"
*matprop(3)
*endif
*end materials

This is the problem:
All the fields of conditions, materials, etc are stored internally as strings
The format "MAT1%8g" is to print a real number, but matprop(3) is a character string.
You must use matprop(3,real) to force to print as a real number.

Notes:
1) - It is recommended to use the name of a field instead the index number: 
matprop(E,real)
instead
matprop(3,real) 
If you add or remove fields to the material or condition, the bas file is more easy to update.

2) - It is recommended to use inside the order *format only the format to print the variables, without aditional words:
Example:
*format "%8g"
MAT1*matprop(E,real)
instead
*format "MAT1%8g"
*matprop(E,real)

                  [GiDlist] Problem with units file costumization

Send by: Andreas Friedberg
On: Fri Jun 28 20:36:01 CEST 2002



Hi,

1) I've written a template file (tochnog.bas, tochnog.mat, tochnog.prb, tochnog.cnd) in GID 6.1.2 for the Tochnog solver. Now I'm trying to implement a units file (tochnog.uni) as proposed in the reference manual, but it doesn't work. First I tried to write a units file similar to the units.gid file which is inside the scripts directory. GID doesn't write any of the defined units from a units system into the window triggered by the menu data units. I've tried everything to make these units appear. I guess I didn't understand how this units file exactly works.
The new version of GID does recognize these units. I guess a change was made to the units.tcl file, but I couldn't figure out why these units don't appear in the GID version 6.1.2.
I also tried to use the units field in my configuration files to make  these defined units appear, for intance in the materials file, but GID 6.1.2 didn't recognize this units field declaration (#UNITS#).
Could anyone help?

regards, Andreas

1- Update to GiD 7, it contain some corrections about units.

2-If you create a file 'tochnog.uni' (check upper/lowercase on Linux/Unix) inside the problem type 
  (use to start a copy of  'units.gid' renamed to 'tochnog.uni'). 
  Example of unit file:

USER DEFINED: ENABLED
HIDDEN: temperature, ACELERATION

BEGIN TABLE
ACELERATION : m/s^2, 0.1019716213 Gn, 100cm/s^2, 3.280839895 ft/s^2, 39.37007874 in/s^2, Gal
ANGLE : rad, 57.293489913 deg, 63.661990481 gon, 1018.5916402 mil, 3437.7468732 min, 0.15915495087 r, 0.20626479821 seg
length   : m { reference, basic }, 100 cm, 1.0e+3 mm
mass     : kg { basic, reference }, 1.0e+3 gr ,1.0e-3 ton
strength : kg*m/s^2 { reference }, N { basic }, 1.0e-1 kp
pressure : N/m^2 { reference }, Pa { Basic }, 1.0e-5 kp/cm^2
temperature : ºC, ºF, ºK
weight : N/m^3 { reference }, 1.0e-4 ton/m^3 , 1.0e-1 kp/m^3 , 1.0e-7 kp/cm^3
END

begin system(international)
aceleration : m/s^2
length   : m
mass     : kg
strength : N
pressure : N/m^2
temperature : ºC
weight : N/m^3
end

begin system(other)
aceleration : m/s^2
length : m
mass   : kg
strength : kp
pressure : kp/cm^2
temperature : ºC
weight : ton/m^3
end


If this file is detected, then a menu 'Data units' is added to the data menu. 
Notes:
USER DEFINED: ENABLED
To enable the user to change some output unit of the select basic system.

HIDDEN: temperature, ACELERATION
To hide some unit if the Data Units window.

You can declare a field of a condition, material, etc with units with: #UNITS#, and append the unit to the default value. 
See this sample:

NUMBER: 1 CONDITION: Line_Stress
CONDTYPE: over lines
CONDMESHTYPE: over nodes
HELP: A stress applied to the nodes of the selected lines of the model. Units in International System for values are:
	 (N/m2).
QUESTION: X_Stress#UNITS#
VALUE: 0.0Pa
END CONDITION

If the user change the unit of a field the value es recalculated automatically.

The user must declare (in Data Units) the length units of the model.
The values with unit are written in the output calculation file in the units of the basic system selected by the user

Note:
It exist some new orders of units available from the bas file undocumented now: 
*Units('magnitude_name') return the unit name of the current system for a magnitude
BasicUnit('magnitude_name') return the unit name of the basic unit (conversion factor=1 for the basic unit)  for a magnitude

example: 
*Units(LENGTH) 
must returns "cm", "mm", etc
*BasicUnit(LENGTH) 
returns allways "m"

                  [GiDlist] Problem with batch file

Send by: Andreas Friedberg
On: Wed Jul 10 15:29:01 CEST 2002



Hi,

I've written an extension for tochnog that runs on both gid versions (6 and 7). I have automatized the calculation with tochnog with a batch file of following sort:

rem basename=%1
rem directory=%2
rem ProblemDirectory=%3

pause

move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid\%1.dat C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog

pause

cd C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog
tochnog %1.dat

pause

move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.dbs c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.flavia.dat c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.flavia.mesh c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.flavia.res c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.dat c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
del C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.run

Now this worked well on the version 6.1.2 of gid, but since I have installed the new version, every time I start the calculation, the batch file isn't executed. I guess there is some sort of conflict which I don't understand. My operating system is win2000. Could you tell me, why my batch file isn't executed after the writing of the dat file? I tried to rename the command application inside the gid7.0 directory, but that didn't work either.

best regards, Andreas

1) remove the order "pause" from the bat file.

You can run the bat file with the operating system command.com/cmd.exe or with a command.exe of GiD (recommended)
Note: some orders are not implemented in command.exe (read  the topic: "executing an exernal program" of the GiD help)

If GiD finds the file command.exe, located next to gid.exe, it will be used to interpret the *.bat file of the problem type; if the file command.exe cannot be found, the *.bat file will be interpreted by the windows command.com. If conflicts appear by the use of some instruction still nonimplemented in the GiD command.exe, it's possible to rename the command.exe file, so that GiD doesn't find it, and the operating system command.com is used. 

Other comments:

1- Is best to use relative paths instead absolute paths:
ex: bad absolute path
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid\%1.dat C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog
is best to use (%2 is the paht of your model, %3 is the path of your problem type)
move %2\%1.dat %3

2-The "natural" location of Tochnog.gid is the directory problemtypes of GiD

3-Is best not move the dat file to the tochnog directory, instead run tochnog with the path:
instead:
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid\%1.dat C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog
cd C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog
tochnog %1.dat
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.dbs c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.flavia.dat c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.flavia.mesh c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.flavia.res c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
move C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.dat c:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Projects\%1.gid
del C:ProgrammeGid6.1.2Tochnog\%1.run

%3	ochnog %1.dat

This is a bug of GiD in this case (related with a conditions cache):
*set cond A
*add cond B
...
*set cond A

Avoid the use of add cond in this case until this bug is corrected.

Another comment: 
The material fields of the sample are different as the material fields of the problem type attached. 
Ypu can use Data->ProblemType->Transform to update a sample to a new problemtype version.

                  [GiDlist] loop over nodes in an element

Send by: Turconi Alessandra

Hallo all,

in my .bas file I need to execute a loop over the nodes of an element inside
an elem loop, i.e.

....
*set cond ... *nodes
*loop elems
*loop <nodes in each element>
*if(<condition over these nodes>)
*<write something>
*end <nodes in each element>
*end elems

How I can obtain this with GiD 6.3.0b for Windows?

Thanks in advance and regards

Search if the element nodes are inside the collection of nodes with the current condition 
Try this bas file as sample (i' also attach the files)
*Set Cond Point_CndNode *nodes
*loop elems
Elem number: *ElemsNum
  Nodes: *
*for(i=1;i<=ElemsNNode;i=i+1)
*set var inode=ElemsConec(*i,int)
*loop nodes *OnlyInCond
*if(NodesNum==inode)
   *NodesNum  val=*Cond(text)*
*endif
*end nodes
*end for

*end elems

And this .cnd
NUMBER: 1 CONDITION: Point_CndNode
CONDTYPE: over Points
CONDMESHTYPE: over nodes
CANREPEAT: No
QUESTION: text
VALUE: 0
END CONDITION

This is a follow-up on my previous e-mail. I tried changing the file mode and 
this time I was able to execute the program (I don't know why). But when I was 
trying to generate a 3d mesh the program was automatically shut down and an 
error message was given saying "segmenation fault". I tried meshing for the same 
geometry using different element numbers and I got the same error message. But 
when I meshed 2d problems there were no problem.

So I reinstalled the program. This time I got the message "permission denied" 
when I ran the program. I was wondering if someone can help me out.

The 'permision denied' problem with the sun distribution is that
the 'gid.exe' program does not have the execution permision.
You can easely change it with:

chmod +x gid.exe

Now it is changed in the distribution too.

About the meshing problem, we need a little bit more information.
Can you send us the output of
'uname -a'
( should tell the SunOS distribution version, . . .)
?

Which are your meshing preferences ( meshing pane in the 'preferences' window)?

Really the quadratic elements are curved, but it is draw as linear, to
accelerate the visualization.
The coordinates of the nodes are mapped over the source surface or line.
If you visualize the nodes label, list coordinates, etc., this labels are
located in the real position.

Send by: Mark Smith
On: Thu Jul 18 18:33:01 CEST 2002



Dear GiD team

Do you have any plans to extend the element types available for unstructured
meshes from just triangle (2D) and tets (3D) to be able to use for 3D,
prisms (6 node) pyramid (5 node) brick (8 node) (linear versions) in your
auto meshing routines? 
I am finding triangle & tet only somewhat limiting when the FEA package I
use for the analysis has many more types available.

For future versions are planning to mesh prisms (structured in a direction,
as
a offset of surface triangles) to use specially in CFD analysis.

To mesh with bricks is of interest for some codes, but the hexahedra it is a
bad shape to fill unstructured a generic volume. (it could be in a long
term)

The pyramid elements in principle they seem of little interest.

We are also working in other less conventional mesh types, like for example
the
case of points or spheres for input of "meshless" codes.

Hi Miguel,

Did you receive my e-mails? I was waiting for your answer. I know there must be 
problems with Gid on the Sun system. Is it easy to fix?

I'll use Gid to generate more than 10 million nodes for my 3D finite element 
mesh. I was wondering how much memory it needs. I know this certainly cannot be 
done on a PC. In our institute there is a 8 GB memory Sun system. But 
unfortunately, I met some problems with Gid on the Sun as my previous e-mails 
mentioned.

I contacted the coordinator in the San Diego Supercomputer Center and try to use 
their computer. But I don't know whether Gid works on their system.

Shuo Ma

I' unknown the ABAQUS 6.2 *.fil result file format.

Probably he is quite simple to write a program that reads and rewrites in
GiD format.

If it has a manual of reference that explains this format, and some sample,
send us, and we study the possibility
or directly importing from GiD.

we'll look for an irix 6.4 machine, since all our silicon machines

Hi,

Can anyone give an example of how to write a complete batch file? Since I'll
use Gid to generate millions of nodes the mesh generation process and
writing the calculation file might take a long time. So I am thinking of
writing a shell file to automatically do such kind of things in a command
window. By the way, I am using the unix system.

Suppose I created my problem geometry and assign the material properties and
conditions in Gid window and saved them in a folder: problem_name.gid. Then
I close gid window and go back to unix command line. How do I use the
command line to execute gid without invoking gid window to generate mesh and
write out the calculation file for problem_name.gid? In other words,
problem_name.gid has all my input files, is there a way of running gid.exe
in the command window to get my ouput file: the calculation file?

Thanks,
Shuo Ma

You must write a bath file with the GiD commands:
(see help on Files->Import->Batch file)
Example: batch file "mesh.bch" to read the file problem_name, generate a
unstructured mesh
with size 0.5, write the calculation file and exit:

escape escape escape files read "/tmp/problem_name" escape
escape escape escape meshing generate 0.5
escape escape escape files writecalcfile
escape escape escape quit yes

to run this batch from the command line use:

gid -b mesh.bch

You must also start GiD without any window with the parameter -n (see help
on invoking GiD for other options)

gid -n -b kk.batch

GiD includes in the /scritps directory a file named units.gid to define some
units, a problem type can also contain a file named 'problemtype'.uni to
overwrite this default units.

If the problem type use the units of GiD, then is showed a menu Data Units.
The values of model units and base system selected by the user are saved
with the
model inside the file 'modelname'.uni.

I'unknow the problemtype 'Calculix', you can send it to see?

This seems a bug of the graphic card/driver with the OpenGL acceleration.

- Try to Start GiD in Safe mode from the menu Init and select use a Software
OpenGL
or
- Try to update the drivers of the graphic card for Win2000.
or
- Try to change the graphic card acceleration level (inside the screen

Im running gid on a linux machine using turbolinux, I dont have windows or

Attached is a dxf file where this does happen printing.dxf and one where it 
works fine, paper.dxf. I cant seem to make the connection between what will 
work and what wont work.  I suspect Qcqd dxf and Gid dsf are different 
versions of dxf.

                  [GiDlist] bas file problem

Send by: Mark Smith
On: Wed Jul 24 17:34:01 CEST 2002



Hi GiD team
Although I found a work around I love to know  how I could (if possible) in
a .bas file 
do the equivalent of files : import/export: write mesh

In this mesh file the number of the material written is the number of the
material in the .mat file ?

Regards
Mark

Subject: RE: [GiDlist] bas file problem


Found a solution, my mistake was misusing *ElemsMat  
Solved the problem by changing my material file and the following in my bas
file

*loop materials
*set var MaterialNum(int)=Operation(MatProp(Number,int))
*loop elems
*ElemsNum 1     29650  *MaterialNum *ElemsConec
*end elems
*end materials

In the bas file, the material number is not the same as defined in the .mat file, the materials are automatically
 renumbered  to avoid holes, from 1 to the number of really used materials.

If you desire to identify the material, you can use *Matprop(0) (inside a material loop) to obtain the material name.

*loop elems
*ElemsNum *ElemsMat *ElemsConec
*end elems

*loop materials
  Number=*MatNum Name=*Matprop(0) 
*end materials


You can also solve creating a field, named for example Number, for the materials, and storing the same value as the order in the mat file. 
(this auxiliary field can be hidden.)

...
NUMBER: 5 MATERIAL: Steel_Top_Flange
QUESTION: NUMBER
VALUE: 5
STATE:HIDDEN
QUESTION: Elastic_modulus
VALUE: 20500
END MATERIAL
...

Your previous solution only work if only is assigned only one material to the model, inside each loop over materials are written all elements

instead:
*loop materials
*set var MaterialNum(int)=Operation(MatProp(Number,int))
*loop elems
*ElemsNum 1     29650  *MaterialNum *ElemsConec
*end elems
*end materials

use:
*loop materials
*loop elems
*if(MatNum==ElemsMat)
*ElemsNum 1     29650  *MatProp(Number,int) *ElemsConec
*end elems
*endif
*end materials

                                          [GiDlist] memory on unix system

Send by: Shuo Ma
On: Wed Jul 24 22:47:01 CEST 2002



Hello,

Can anyone give an estimate of memory requirement? For example, how much does 
gid need to generate 0.5,1,5,10 million nodes respectively? How does memory grow 
as number of nodes grows? I am using a unix system.

Yesterday, I was trying to generate about 6 million nodes mesh. It took couple 
of hours to run and stopped suddenly with gid window closed. I think it was out 
of memory. When I tried to restart gid, it began not to respond. Gid window 
never showed up again even after I reinstalled it and ran gid.exe. I switched 
from Gid6.1.3 to Gid7 and reinstalled it, the window still doesn't show up.Can 
anyone help? What should I do?

Thanks,
Shuo Ma

                  [GiDlist] Problems with entering res file

Send by: Nico Scheerlinck
On: Thu Jul 25 19:15:02 CEST 2002



Dear Enrique,
Enclosed you can find some files defining my problem
and the associated flavia.res file.
For some reasons I get the following error when selecting postprocess:
couldn't find 'end values', in line 1361 of file
'e:GIDStraw_FE_meshesstraw02.gidstraw02.flavia.res'.

Is there a limitation to the number of nodes to which you can assign scalar
result values?
Or do I have another problem.
PS: I followed the instructions from the user manual and the postprocess
tutorial.

Many thanks in advance for helping me !!!
Greetings
Nico

The problems are:
1- the node number is an integer, not a float.
example: instead
...
1.356e+003  4.4777794e+001
use:
 1356  4.4777794e+001

2- After the last word "End Values" enter a carriage return

I' attach the file corrected.


GiD is limited only in the academic unregistered version (máx 3000 volume elements or 700 surface elements)

Regards

Enrique

The valid commands for a batch file are the same words showed in the rigth buttons (hidden by default) or written in the command line. The commands history is showed in the undo window or can be saved in a batch file (see preferences).

To read a bath file, use Files->Import->Batch file, or to read interactively use Utilities->Graphical->Read batch window
It is also possible to run GiD without window and execute a bach file. See Help->Invoking  GiD.


It is possible to calculate the volume of a hexahedral with the order *operation in the bas file (the volume is the determinant of the matrix with the three edge vectors), similar to the calculation of the normal of a triangle (see the previous mail with subject Re: [GiDlist] Mesh output).

                  [GiDlist] NURBS surface from points (gid 7.1)

Send by: Alexandre Forest
On: Mon Jul 29 22:45:02 CEST 2002



Hi, I have to generate a surface from a cloud of 10,000 data points. The
convex hull (x-y wise) of those points form an irregular shape. I have a
few questions:

1) The surface formed from the points is rectangular, I would like it
better if the surface did not extend beyond the initial given points
i.e. if it would fit exactly the convex hull of the points. How can it
be done?

2) I can see no mean of controlling the degree of approximation of the
surface nor verifying to which extent the surface is a good
approximation to the points. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

Hi Alexandre,

I had the same problem as you.
This is what the GiD-Support wrote me:



"To create a surface from a cloud of points gid projects the points to a
plane;
so, if the cloud of points has a strange shape (a sphere, for example) it's
not
possible to create the surface.

The surface created is only an approximation to the selected points/lines,
not
an interpolation.

This function is useful in topography, to create reliefs and terrains.

http://gid.cimne.upc.es/support/gid_8.subst#SEC85
"


It is better to use a geometric modeller for this task. I am using now ACIS
from Spatial, but you can use also a free nurbs library like NURBS++, GUL,
...

The problem is the import to GiD. For the next version there will be a
revised ACIS SAT Import.

If you have a better idea in the meantime, please tell me, you know i have
the same problem!

Best Regards,

Alex

Thanks fr the help!!

I finally generated my surface with the Rhino 2.0 modeler (evaluation
version). Just import the points (readcommandfile), draw manually the limits
for your surface (with polylines) and use the command patch to create and
adapt your surface.

I finally created a volume containing this "point cloud" surface and
exported it to GiD with the ACIS 4.0 format.

Hi everybody,

I've written a GiD-extension for tochnog and I am trying to run tochnog as an external program from within GiD 7.0. I'm working with GiD on two operating systems: win2000 and win2000NT. Since I've implemented a batch file for my extension (I have sent this file to you in a previous email), I have problems to make it work properly within GiD. First, I thought there was a problem with my batch file, but I realised that it works well on the win2000NT operating system when one condition is met:

I have removed the command.exe file within the GiD directory and replaced it by the command.com file of win2000NT. If I leave the command.exe file in the GiD directory, my batch file isn't executed, neither by the command.exe of GiD, nor by the command.com of win.

Now this works well on win2000NT, since the batch file is recognized and executed. The only problem is the fact that while executing the batch file, GiD seems to create two local hardrives with respectively the Project and the problemtype directory installecd on them:

f:Project...
g:problemtype...

This does not seem to affect win2000NT, since with every calculation two new local harddrives are created and the calculation is executed. All I have to do after the calculations is to reboot the system to cancel these local harddrives.

When I try to do the same on win2000, I get two error messages of following type:

1. problems creating process: 0x1f.: a hardware connected to the system does not function

2. Error executing
c:ProgrammeGiD7.0problemtypes	ochnog_automated7.gid	ochnog_automated7.bat bruchlast2d
f:ruchlast2d.gid
g:	ochnog_automates7.gid
c:ProgrammeGiD7.0GiD.exe

bruchlast2d is the name of the project I've worked on and tochnog_automated7.gid the problemtype directory.
win2000 doesn't seem to recognize these newly created harddrives, and GiD stops the calculation.

I guess there must be some kind of error concerning the paths assigned to the project and problemtype directory in some tcl-script. Or did I get things completely wrong?

best regards,

Andreas Friedberg

    Hello,

    You are just discovering the kind of problems that made us create the
command.exe.
Windows is not reliable in its use of BAT files and we had to develop an
alternative
solution.

   My personal advice is to use command.exe. If if does not work for you,
make the necessary
modifications to your .bat file until it does. If you are not able to do
them, post your .bat file
in this list and we shall try to help you.

                  [GiDlist] Node Numbering convention in GiD

Send by: Vilaysak Sayakoummane
On: Wed Jul 31 09:09:01 CEST 2002



Hi Guys
  If any of you happened to know about node numbering
convention for element connectivity in GiD..especially
for 4 node and 8 node shell element..I'm still
confused with that..My previous FEM is such:

         .s                  .s
   2............1       2....5.....1
    .    .     .         .   .    .
    .    .........r     6.   .....8...r
    .          .         .        .
   3............4       3....7.....4
      4 node                8 node
How we could make it satisfied with our own previous
Convention?? 

Thanks

hi,
the conectivities are the ones described in:

http://gid.cimne.com/support/gid_16.subst#cuad4.gif
http://gid.cimne.com/support/gid_16.subst#cuad8.gif
http://gid.cimne.com/support/gid_16.subst#cuad9.gif

you can also create a quadratic quadrilateral mesh 
example in gid(pre), do a label all nodes and
list one of the elements (utilities->list->elements)
and you'll get the ordering of the nodes in gid.
i think this match with your description, or not?

Hi Guys..
Thank Miguel for your response..
Another thing for me that I want to know is: We can
create a new menu inserted into the main menu of
GiD..What about if after having created the new menu
name for example "Fanthom" then I want to move all my
problem type to this menu..HOw we can make it work..
Usually the problemtype_name(Fanthom.gid) is working
only when it is contained in Problemtype directory of
original gid.

Regards..

Willy.

Hi,

How to create and modify the GiD menus are described in our web site,
under 'Support->On-line Manual->TclTk Extensions: Managing menus':
http://gid.cimne.com/support/gid_17.subst#SEC255

To do so, a file called, in your case, 'Fanthom.tcl' should be present
inside the 'Fanthom.gid' problem-type directory.
To modify/create the menus when you problem type is loaded, you should
define the function 

proc InitGIDProject { dir } { 
...body(1)...
}

which will be executed when the problem type is selected from within GiD,
or when called like 'gid -p fanthom.gid' to load the problem type
automatically when starting GiD, ( do 'gid -help' for more information).

Inside the 'InitGIDProject' procedure you have to call following functions:

· reateMenu new_menu_name PRE/POST/PREPOST --------> to create the menu
· InsertMenuOption menu_name option_name position command PRE/POST/PREPOST ------> to add options
· RemoveMenuOption menu_name option_name PRE/POST/PREPOST --------> to delete a menu option
· UpdateMenus -------> so the menu bar is rebuild to reflect the changes made before.

hope it helps,

miguel

Hello,

here you have an example: TclTkExample.tgz
which add a menu, with two options:
'Window popup' with show a window that creates a quadrilateral
'status' which gets the number of lines from gid.

Send by: Vilaysak Sayakoummane
On: Sun Aug 4 07:33:02 CEST 2002



Hi there
  Thank Miguel and Ramon for your replying. Miguel
thank again for your attached files. In addition, what
I need to know more are:
1. How all the files,refer to your ProblemType
tclTkExample files, (TclTkExample.cnd,
TcltkExample.prb, clTkExample.mat, TclTkExample.bas,
and so on. These files are standard file in
problemtype_name) work in this new Menu
<TclTkExample>.
2. Can we have TclTk file in the Problemtype_name more
than 1? in case I need to create more windows and more
modifications? if this file could be only 1 name then
it would be to big to get lost easily.
3. How can we make ProblemType_name files as hidden
files,. in case we don't want the Users see our source
codes.
4. How could we avoid having all the files like files
.cnd, *.prb, *.mat, *.unit rewritten again in the
project_name files. For example, I run my project
problem in my problemType_name (Fanthom.gid) and I
save the project problem as "cantilever.gid".. After
clicking <Calculate> then I got the results..In this
folder <cantilever.gid>, why I still have those files
<cantilever.cnd, cantilever.prb, cantilever.mat>
actullay those files are unnecessary to be written out
again. This is waste of computer memories. Do you have
any option to avoid having those files written out
again?

Send by: Miguel A. de Riera Pasenau
On: Mon Aug 5 13:59:01 CEST 2002



hello,

1. i just put an empty .prb file so that gid recognizes
     the TclTkExample.gid as a problem type.
     I didn't define any condition, materials nor problem
     data, so the other files are not needed.
     ( .cnd, .bas, .mat, .bas)
2. Sure, you can have as many tcl files as you want, but 
     remember to use the 'source' tcl-command in your
     'proc InitGidProject {}' routine. For examle:
  
     YourProblemType.tcl:
     (...)
     proc InitGIDProject { dir } {    
         (...)
	 set YourProblemTypeDirectory $dir
         source [ file join $YourProblemTypeDirectory AnotherTclFile1.tcl]
         source [ file join $YourProblemTypeDirectory AnotherTclFile2.tcl]
         source [ file join $YourProblemTypeDirectory AnotherTclFile3.tcl]
         (...)
     }
     (...)

     This 'source' command reads and executes the contents of these files,
     so if you define procedures/functions/commands inside these files,
     after the 'source' command you can use them.

3. by now there is no way to make tcl-files hidden to the user, or to
     encrypt them. 
     One way is to have the tcl-files encrypted and let the 'InitGIDProject'
     call an external program do unencrypt them, make the 'source', and
     delete the unencrypted files. Once the 'source' command is issued,
     the other tcl-files are not longer needed, so you can delete them.

  
     YourProblemType.tcl:
     (...)
     proc InitGIDProject { dir } {    
         (...)
	 set YourProblemTypeDirectory $dir
         set old_dir [ pwd]
         cd TemporaryDirectory "YourTemporalDirectory"
         foreach file "AnotherTclFile1.tcl AnotherTclFile2.tcl AnotherTclFile3.tcl" {
             set abs_file [ file join $YourProblemTypeDirectory $file]
             set tmp_file [ file join $TemporaryDirectory $file.tmp]
             exec [ file join $YourProblemTypeDirectory Unencrypt] $abs_file $tmp_file
             source $tmp_file
             file delete $tmp_file
         }
         cd $old_dir   
         (...)
     }
     (...)

4. the reason for the files to be present is to allow user to view, mesh the 
     project on another machine, or pass the example to another colegue, 
     to view the materials assignement, conditions, problem data, and so on,
     with no need to copy the whole problem type.
     Also avoids compatibility problems which surely appears when something 
     is changed in the conditions, materials or problem data of the problem 
     type and the data from the project can not be matched with the new rules.
     Instead of having a useless project, with this method you still have a
     useful and working project. There is a posibility to change, actualize
     the problem type of an old project inside GiD.
     Note that nor the .tcl files, nor the calculation executable are copied
     to the project.gid directory.
     beside this, the size of these files is insignificant to the sizes of
     the .msh, .geo or the .dat file of a big project ( thousand of surfaces
     or millions of elements).

hope it helps.

Hi there
Thank Miguel for your reply. I'll try it as you
adviced,especially I have to look on TclTk part
deeply.

Another small thing I would like to ask again is:

in my Problemtype.bas file I used <*CondNumEntities>
to get number of nodes that assigned Loads on it. When
I assigned the different loads on the same one node
then I get number of Point load equals only 1. For
example, on node #53 I assigned Load Fx=10, Fy=20,
Mx=45,My=60 then my data file result is:
Number of Point Load = 1 (usually should be 4)
Node number  Fx   Fy   Fz  Mx  My  Mz
    53       10   20   0   45  60  0
I try to use <*set cond Point_Load *CanRepeat> but I
didn't get the number of Laods equals 4.
How can we solve this problem?? I am sure that it
should be some command to deal with this??

Regards.

*condnumentities count the number of entities with an applied contition, and Fx, Fy, ... are fields of the same condition

Use an auxiliary loop to count the number of fields with not zero value
example: (for a condition named Point-Load, and fields named Fx, Fy, etc)

*set var cont=0
*set cond Point-Load *nodes *canrepeat
*loop nodes onlyincond
*if(cond(Fx,real)!=0)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*endif
*if(cond(Fy,real)!=0)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*endif
*if(cond(Fz,real)!=0)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*endif
*if(cond(Mx,real)!=0)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*endif
*if(cond(My,real)!=0)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*endif
*if(cond(Mz,real)!=0)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*endif
*end nodes
Nº total= *cont

Hi all GiDs
  I have problem with GiD.7 when trying to write the
CalFile. I have no problem when using with GiD6.2 but
when transferring my ProblemType to GiD.7 I noticed
that so many options included.
In problemType_name.mat, in GiD.7 allows only 100
fields. Actually my fields (QUESTION:) are more than
100. My question is:
1. Do you have any option to ovoid this limitation?
2. In case I have more fields in this
ProblemType_name.mat file. Can GiD allow to have more
than 1 file of ProblemType_name.mat file?
3. If not from two listed above how should we solve
this problem?

Best regards.

Hi 
   Thank Enrique, I'll send the files to you through

check it again whether because of Mat file or bas
file.
Other questions are:

I just want to know if GiD can process the command
<DEPENDENCIES> across the fields in the <BOOK:> to
other fields or TITLE in other BOOKs??

as I tried <DEPENDENCIES> can only be effective inside
the same <BOOK> by using <TITLESTATE:TITLE>
command..not <BOOK> to <BOOK>
1. HOw we use the <DEPENDENCIES> across the Windows to
other windows (<BOOK> to <BOOK>) in ProblemType files?
2. I tried to read the BackgroundMesh but nothing
shows up. HOw this thing really works out? there is
not enough info yet about this in the online document.

Thanks in advance.

1) It is not available at this moment, to access with dependencies across
fields of different materials, conditions or problem data.
This must be enhanced for future versions.

2) The background mesh is not showed to the user, it is used only to assign
sizes for the new mesh.
To view this background mesh shape, you can read as mesh with
Files->Import->GiD Mesh (mesh sizes are ignored)
To view the assigned sizes for test pourposes, you can write an auxiliar
postprocess result file, with the desired size as scalar result, and read it
in GiD postprocess.

The condition must be defined over face elems, not over body elems
CONDTYPE:over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE:over face elems

It is best assign the conditions over the geometry (surfaces), not over the elements directly.

If you draw this condition only is coloured the selected faces.

You can list the faces in the bas file with *globalnodes or *localnodes (inside a loop elements onlyincondition)

Note about the element conectivites:
The element can be located in any position in 3D (not necessary parallel to
xyz axis as in the pictures of the manual).

The normal of a quadrilateral is the same as the normal of the source
surface,  check this normals
(the normals can be drawn and swapped)

By defaul in GiD, if a surface is created in a plane parallel to XY, then
your normal point automatically to the +Z axis,
and the local numeration of a quadrilateral generated 1 2 3 4 is
anti-clockwise.

Dear GID members,

I have a problem about mesh generation in GID.
when I try to create grids for large volume with
a very narrow perforation, (see my attachment *.geo
file)
I've always got error messages.

Could you give me any suggestion to solve this
problem?

regards,

kenji

Hello,

have you tried to play with the 'meshing preferences'
("utilities->preferences", select the mesh pane),
the 'assign unstructured size->by cordal error' and others . . .
i send you the meshed project ( ~50,000 tetrahedras).
i assigned a size of '0.015' to the surfaces of the 
'tubito' layer wich contains the volumes of the inner little tubes
( note that beside this, there are two more new layes:
'Rebanada_1' and 'Rebanada_2', each one containing the disks).
i used  following mesh preferences pfm4n004_mesh_pref.gif,
and following general mesh size pfm4n004_mesh_size.gif.

hope it helps

Win98 GiD 6.3.0b

Dear GiD team
When I label the nodes of a quadratic element mesh I can see the mid-side
node numbers but the mesh shown is the simple linear one. Is there any way
of showing the quadratic mesh or are there any plans to do so?
Like wise, the rendered surface of a quadratic mesh appears far more faceted
than is the case, which make it difficult to judge how well the surface mesh
approximates the geometry.
Can we have an option in preferences to show quadratic curved elements, both
normal and rendered.
Can you clarify what the meaning of the mesh quality window is for quadratic
elements? since it reports the same information irrespective of the element
order (linear or quadratic).

Regards
Mark

Hi,

now th only way to show the position of the middle nodes is
to draw the labels of these nodes. the middle nodes are not
drawn due to performance questions. we are planning to add
an option to drawn those middle nodes just with interconected lines
( not curves).

Miguel
I can convert a mesh into a wireframe mesh of lines which I can then import
into GiD to see all the mid-side nodes (via a .bas file and a little mesh
cleanup routine) but it occurred to me that I could convert it into surface
geometry file (and then able to see a non faceted mesh) if only I knew what
GiD's .geo file format was, would you be prepared to put this information
into the public domain?
Or is there an alternative method of saving a mesh as geometry?

Mark

1- It is easy create a small template .bas to convert the surface mesh to wireframe mesh.:
Example (for quatratic triangles and repeating shared edges) 

Wireframe.bas

MESH    dimension 3 ElemType Linear  Nnode 2
Coordinates
*loop nodes
 *nodesnum *nodescoord
*end nodes
end coordinates

Elements
*set var cont=0
*loop elems
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*cont *elemsconec(1) *elemsconec(4)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*cont *elemsconec(4) *elemsconec(2)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*cont *elemsconec(2) *elemsconec(5)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*cont *elemsconec(5) *elemsconec(3)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*cont *elemsconec(3) *elemsconec(6)
*set var cont=operation(cont+1)
*cont *elemsconec(6) *elemsconec(1)
*end elems
end elements

A quadratic triangle can be written also as four linear triangles.

Copy this file Wireframe.bas inside the directory /templates, and use it with 
Files->Export->Using Template bas (only mesh)->Wireframe

After , read the ouput file with Files->Import->GiD mesh


2- You can convert the surface mesh to geometry (DXF format) using the template DXF.bas 
Files->Export->Using Template bas (only mesh)->DXF
Note: this template write quadratic elements as linear, but it can be modified.

3- If you have interest to read/write directly the GiD .geo format, I' attach a beta documentation of this format
   (this document is spanish language and word format)

                  [GiDlist] Dividing of NURBS surfaces

Send by: My VDI Freemail
On: Mon Aug 5 10:13:01 CEST 2002



Hallo All,

Although I feel quite comfortable with GiD and its functionalities, I did not manage to get a division of NURBS surfaces through >edit >divide >surface >split.
Though I generated points directly on the boundary lines as well as on the surface I always get the error message, that the surface could not be subdivided and a point on the boundary should be checked.
What is the procedure to use this surface division?

Are there any plans to implement the merging of NURBS surfaces, which are not 2D, but general 3D?

Additionally I found a bug in the >utilities >copy feature: even with the duplicate entries flag disabled, the entities always will be duplicated (this is not really an issue, but the flag does not work).

Thanks in advance for your answers with regard to the surface splitting.

   Hello,

    To use funcion 'split', the spliting line must already be intersected
with the boundary lines of the surface. In your case, before using 'split'
you should use something line 'Geometry->Create intersection->Line-line' or
'Geometry->Edit->Divide->Near point' or similar.

    Function 'Copy' with the flag 'duplicate entries' unset, should work
correctly.
Please send a model where there is any problem with it.

GiD 6.3.0b  win98

Dear GiD team
I have discovered a bug in the unstructured mesher when generating quadratic
tetrahedra.
The mesh looks OK in GiD but here no mid-side nodes are displayed. Using a
routine I convert the quadratic mesh into line elements then re-import into
GiD to display the quadratic mesh, This is when it becomes obvious that
there are errors with the node connectivity. see attached gifs.
The error seems to be mesh parameter dependant, so far I have only found
problems with settings RFast & Smoothing high angle but as I say The linear
mesh displayed in GiD looks OK !!!!
I am also sure that it isn't an error in my routine as looking at the mesh
file shows the wrong node numbering  for the offending elements.
Also attached a simple sphere meshing problem which gives the error.

Hello,
thanks, i discovered the error too this weekend when i
implemented the drawing of the quadratic elements,
we are working on it.
the problem is that some middle nodes 'jump' from
the surface they should be to another one, as you 
can see in the attached file. 

try with the 'automatic correct sizes' switch on, and
a smaller element size.

Thank for your information

This is a problem mapping the midnode over the surface because the element
size is great.
We will try to solve it for the next beta version.

We have added for this version in preferences an option to draw with more
precision the quadratic elements.

Hi everybody,

I have a problem specific to the  template file I wrote for the tochnog solver. In the input file for a calculation with tochnog, the materials are assigned to the elements of the generated mesh. I do this assignement through the materials file. As I try to implement a template file for geotechnical analysis with the modified Cam Clay plasticity model, I have to assign initial values (preconsolidation mean pressure and void ratio) to the nodes belonging to the elements which were assigned the material specified by the Cam Clay model. So I have a list of elements which belong to this material (with *elemsmat I can sort that out in the template file), but I need a nodes list (something a command like *nodesmat could do, but that doesn't exist).
I tried to get this list with the following commands:

*loop elems
*if(ElemsMat==imaterial)
*ElemsConec
*endif
*end elems

with imaterial being the number of the plastic material specified by the Cam Clay model.
The problem with this set of commands is the fact that I get almost all the points repeated several times in the list. Could you help me get that list of nodes belonging to a certain material without every node being repeated several times in the list?

best regards, Andreas Friedberg

Enrique,
Thanks very much, I ended up doing something very similar myself, I took it
a bit further thought for quadratic surface elements. I wrote out the mesh
using files import/export write mesh then applied an external routine to
produce a batch file which connected each 3 point edge as an arc. The
resulting geometry just then needed to have the midside nodes deleted from
the arc and the result looks very good. 
See attached images of an unstructured meshed spherical surface.
Should I get enough requests for the code I'll spend the time and post it
here.
 
Regards
Mark.
 
P.S.  I think it would be useful if there was a down load area on gidlist
where users could place their routines which they want to share like you
find on Yahoo groups this would have the added benefit of reducing
attachments on the emails. Just a thought

The midnodes of quadratic elements are not located on the middle of the
edges:
First are located on this position, but after, are remapped over the surface
source.
In your case, possibly the surface parametrización is not uniform, and the
projection of
the midnode over the surface is far of the wished position.

If the midpoint is far of the surface (big element size), can appear
instability
problems in the projection algorithm.

If you need the quadratic node exactly in the mid-edge (not necessary over
the surface if curved),  then mesh with linear elements, or recompute the
midnode coordinates=(Node prev+Node next)/2 (inside the bas file, or inside
your own program)

                  [GiDlist] Mesh output

Send by: Asteroide
On: Wed Aug 14 19:08:02 CEST 2002



I use GiD to mesh geometries and then export node coordinates and connectivity to a text file. For this purpose, I use a .bas file of this format:

NOEUDS ET COORDONNEES
*npoin
*loop nodes *All
*format "%7i%15.5f%15.5f%15.5f"
*NodesNum *NodesCoord
*end

CONNECTIVITE
*nelem
*loop elems
*elemsnum *elemsConec
*end elems

INLET
*Set Cond INLET *nodes
*loop nodes *OnlyInCond
*NodesNum
*end
........etc

The inlet section is to extract nodes to which I applied a certain condition. These nodes are then used in a finite element program to apply a boundary condition. I have 2 questions:

1) Is there a better or more efficient way to do this (then to apply conditions to boundaries)

2) (More important) Say I have a boundary condition which is a line. I absolutely want the nodes (written in the text file) to be written line-wise i.e. in the order they are encountered along the line (is this automatic?) Is there a way to reverse this order?

3) Is there a way to perform a calculation (ex: write the normal of each line element) and write this automatically in the exported calculation file (text file).

1) Is there a better or more efficient way to do this (then to apply conditions to boundaries)
I not understand the question well. 
This method is efficient (fast) at the time of writing the calculation file. 
I suppose that the condition will be applied over geometric entities: lines, etc, not directly on the mesh nodes , 
which can be very slow for the user, and forces to reassign the conditions if remesh.

2) (More important) Say I have a boundary condition which is a line. I absolutely want the nodes (written in the text file) to be written line-wise i.e. in the order they are encountered along the line (is this automatic?) Is there a way to reverse this order?

Actually It is not possible to force the nodes to be numbered along the line or another specific renumerations.
An automatic renumeration is made after generating the mesh, in order to diminish the bandwidth (maximum 
difference of numeration of nodes of an element)

You must reorder the nodes inside your code following the element connectivities.

3) Is there a way to perform a calculation (ex: write the normal of each line element) and write this automatically in the exported calculation file (text file).

Inside the bas file it is possible to perform small calculations with the *Operation order (see help->Customization->Template file).

Example: (Template STL.bas included with GiD 7 inside the directory 	emplates)

*realformat "%15.6e"
*intformat "%8i"

*WarningBox Warning: Exist Bad elements. A STL file is a collection of triangles bounding a volume.
*endif
*if(isquadratic)
*WarningBox Warning: Quadratic triangles are written as linear.
*endif

*set var ay=operation(NodesCoord(2,2)-NodesCoord(1,2))

*set var nz=operation(ax*by-ay*bx)
*set var modulo=operation(sqrt(nx*nx+ny*ny+nz*nz))
*set var nx=operation(nx/modulo)
*set var ny=operation(ny/modulo)
*set var nz=operation(nz/modulo)

If I generate a mesh on a volume, I usually export volume connectivity to a text file. What should I do if I want to export surface (triangle) connectivity also in the same export file?

It is possible to create the contour mesh of the current mesh (ex. boundary triangles from tetrahedras) with 
Meshing CreateBoundary (only available from the command line or right buttons, hidden by default)
and then write this triangle elements.
It is also possible to force to mesh the volume tetrahedras, and also the triangles of the boundary surfaces 
(Meshing->Mesh Criteria->Mesh->Surfaces) and select the desired surfaces

It is also available to define a condition to be assigned in geometry over surfaces, and transferred in mesh over face elems,
named for example MarkFaces, then apply this condition over the boundary surfaces, generate the mesh (only tetrahedras, not triangles), and write the nodes of the boundary faces with this condition with *globalnodes

*set cond MarkFaces *elems
*loop elems onlyincondition
*globalnodes
*end elems

You can define a spectial condition to be assigned to the contact surface, 
and to be transferred over body elems (not over nodes)

NUMBER: 1 CONDITION: Surface_Contact
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over body elems
QUESTION: Friction_Coef
VALUE: 0.0
HELP: Friction coefficient value
...
END CONDITION

And then inside the bas file use a loop over the elements with this condition:
Example:

...
*set cond Surface_Contact *elems
*loop elems *OnlyInCond
  Friction coef: *cond(Friction_Coef,real) Nodes: *ElemsConec 
*end elems

You might have to use the same method as Tochnog uses for prisms in Gid i.e.

into 3 -tet4 elements in the files for GID."

Hi GiDteam
The attached geometry file is of a cone with a spherical cap surface, it
displays OK in normal mode & meshes correctly but when the geometry is
rendered only the conical part shows ? Why?
 
Are there any rules to sweeping out a line or curve into a valid surfaces, I
generated the geometry by copy-rotate-extrude a line and an arc but
depending on the angle swept through the surface might appear OK when meshed
it reported surface errors ?

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Wed Aug 28 18:31:01 CEST 2002



The render algorithm is faster than the mesh generatio, but less robust.
Some surfaces can be correct although
it fails the render.

The surfaces of GiD are parametric (except planar surfaces), the parameter
space is a mormalized square of side 1x1.
The parameterization send a point on this space parameter to the 3D real
space.

Typical problem (to render, mesh, intersections, etc):
The inverse of the parmeterization not exist, two or more points on 2D are
mapped at the same point in 3D.

For example:
- A point located over the rotation axis generate a singular point
- A rotation of 360 degrees creating a "closed" surface (cilinder, cone,
torus, sphere)
- Cone Vertex

Try to avoid this cases if possible.

Others problems:
If you need to mesh the volume of the cone, and the surface is divided only
in two pieces, then in the vertex are generated two triangle faces with the
same three nodes, and it is not possible to create a tetrahedra inside.
Divide the cone in three or more surfaces.

The first is to recommend you to use the copy (extrusion) at a geometrical
level, obtaining volumes from surfaces, and then meshing the resulting
volume. Try to avoid to use the copy window over the mesh, because you
highly complicate the application of conditions, materials, etc.

Nevertheless, if you prefer to extrude surface elements, and work with the
resulting volume element (prismatic elements if you originally use
triangular elements, or hexahedral elements if you use quadrilateral ones),
you can use them in the same way of any tridimensional meshing:

*loop elems
*ElemsNum *ElemsConec
*end elems

that will generate a list like:
      1       1      2      4
      2       6      5      3
      3       3      1      4
      4       3      4      6
      5      13     14     16
      6      18     17     15
      7      15     13     16
      8      15     16     18
      9       1      2      4     13     14     16
     10       6      5      3     18     17     15
     11       3      1      4     15     13     16
     12       3      4      6     15     16     18
for an original mesh of four triangles extruded to four prisms. 
Note: is created also a moved copy of the original triangles: finally exist 8 triangles and 4 prisms

If you want to write just the prisms, you have to use:

*set elems(prisma)
*loop elems
*ElemsNum *ElemsConec
*end elems

or delete the triangular elements (Meshing-Editg Mesh-Delete elements) and
filter with the Sel Window (secondary mouse button) to apply only over
triangles (Filter: Element Type; triangle).

No option on Radiobox unless you have to create by
Tcl/Tk at the moment, I guest. GiD should put more
option about Tools. Now there are still lot  of
limitations.
Actually GiD can combine with Visual Basic already but
I think GiD should work out more with it,instead of
working with Tcl/Tk when creating WINDOWS AND TOOLS.
VB is lot easier to create Tools and windows but still
not enough Information combining with GiD in the
online documents.

Good luck.

    Dear all,

    When we talk about GiD customization, we normally define two levels:

    Level 1: files .mat,.cnd,.bas and so on
    Level 2: TCL customization

    The normal entry point for the customization is Level 1. It is and MUST
be easy. There is no reason to integrate into this level more complex
features
because they will make the initial learning longer and more painful.

    Once the level 1 is acomplished, people who wish an interface that
adjust
better to their needs, should continue with TCL. It permmits to do virtually
anything in the customization and window creation. Of course, it takes
longer
to learn it. Specifically, check the special field TKWIDGET in the .cnd and
.mat
It permmits to mix traditional and TCL customization.

   About comparing TCL and VisualBasic, the preference on a programing
language
or other is strongly biased towards personal preferences. Do not ever try to
convince a language X lover that language Y is better, because a flame war
is
going to start.

   The facts are that TCL permmits to make any type of window and
programming
procedure and that it works in either Windows and UNIX.

   For further information on TCL check:

Hi all GiD members
  What I said, if GiD can develop the complete BASIC
WINDOWS TOOLS in Level 1,as Ramon Ribo pointed out,
GiD would be more perfect Pre and Post-processing
interface software in the World, and would be very
attractive to the USERs.
And if GiD can customize with more languages,such as
VB,tcl/tk,...and so on....then those USERS who are
familar with specific languages will not hesitate to
use GiD..
Then no flame war would be happening among things..

Just a thought

At geometrical level is available the surface extrusion with the copy
utility
(Utilities->Copy, Entity type:surface, Do Extrude Volumes)
If the volume have 6 faces, it can be meshed structured with hexahedrals,
but it is not available to mesh with prisms (unstructured in a surface, and
structured in the extrusion direction)

Only is possible to create this prisms extruding directly the surface mesh,
but this mesh operation
only create the new prismatic elements, the geometry is not modified.

Actually is available to plot a graph with time-result A, and another with
time-result B, using Graphs->Point Analysis,
but not result A-result B: using Graphs->Point Graph only is showed a point
for the current selected time, not all the curve.

It is a necessity that already we had detected, and shortly we will
implement it.

You can create the two graphs time-result A, time-result B, save to disk
(Files->Export Graph), and read it
for example with Microsoft Excel to plot the graph result A-result B
(or edit with an editor as Emacs to create the new graph file with columns
result A-result B
and reload in GiD with Files->Import->Graph).

It exist the concept of "Problem type": this is a collection of files
(copied inside the directory /problemtypes) to
easy define the conditions (loads...), materials, etc with the necessary
fields for the analysis code, a  template
to describe the format of the input file for the analysis, the location of
this analysis program, etc.

Dear GID members,

I think there is a problem when we visualize 
results on gauss points(4pts) for quadratic
tetrahedral elements. 
-----------------------------------------------------
Example:
<in res file.
GaussPoints "Gauss" ElemType Tetrahedra 
   Number Of Gauss Points:  4
   Natural Coordinates: Internal
End Gausspoints

RESULT "Pressure Profile" "SimpleCase" 1 Scalar
OnGaussPoints "Gauss"
Values
1      1.0
       1.0
       0.0
       1.0
End Values
----------------------------------------------------
Then you'll see the bug in one of the faces of the
tetrahedra.
Does anybody have the same problem?

thanks,

kenji furui

Hi Kenji
  As my experience, to get the smooth contour of the
results,in GiD, you have to have the result values on
the nodal points, not in Gauss points. YOu can have or
plot results on Gauss points but your Post-processing
result will not be smooth as expected. YOu know that
the results of FEM never smooth by element to element.
I don't know if GiD.7 can plot the results on Gauss
point as a colored ball.

regards.

It seems a bug of GiD postprocessing results on tetrahedrals with 4 gauss
points.
Use until a corrected version only 1 gauss point or extrapolate with your
code the results to the nodes

                  [GiDlist] Hiding buttons in the Right Buttons menu

Hello, 

I wondered whether it would be possible to hide some options in the "Right Buttons" menu, and of course how I could do it. Indeed, if you don't do it, when you hide a menu, it still appears in this window and can provoke problems (as it does in the NASTRAN Interface wen you type "data pdatawindow" (what you wouldn't do if the PDataWindow button didn't appear in the Right Buttons menu)).

It is not possible to hide options of the right buttons, the names showed in this buttons 
are the key names used internally by GiD (the internal orders to use for example in a batch file or process command).
The upper menus are as "shorcuts" to this internal orders, and some menus can be hidden.

Typically (by default) all the right buttons are hidden to a normal user.

                  [GiDlist] Re: Limitation in mat file and problem when using DEPENDENCIES

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Mon Sep 9 12:41:01 CEST 2002



For Example, if you define a field with 7 columns

NUMBER: 1 MATERIAL: Steel
QUESTION: Dynamic_Load_Curve(TMIN,TMAX,A1,A2,A3,A4,A5)
VALUE: #N# 7 0. 10. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.
QUESTION: Tolerance:
VALUE: 0.01
END MATERIAL

To print the values from the bas file, use:

*realformat "%10.3f"
*loop materials
*set var nrows=operation(MatProp(Dynamic_Load_Curve,INT)/7) 
number of cols=7, number of rows=*nrows
TMIN ,TMAX, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5
*for(i=0;i<nrows;i=i+1)
*for(j=0;j<7;j=j+1)
*set var pos=operation(i*7+j+1) 
   *MatProp(Dynamic_Load_Curve,*pos,REAL) *
*end for

*end for
*end materials

Notes:
*MatProp(Dynamic_Load_Curve,INT) return the number of total values, e.g. for 2 rows this number is 2*7=14 values
*MatProp(Dynamic_Load_Curve,*pos,REAL) return the value number "pos" (from 1 to 14), and use the real format to print it.
 * is used to avoid the carriage return (to print the values as a table with 7 values in each row)

The table of values can be used for materials, conditions or problem data.

Dear GiD members,

I have often got errors when creating unstructured
meshes (mainly tetrahedras) over the particular
complex domain/volume. (Please take a look at the
attachment Geo file.)
There is a volume which contains some narrow holes.
I'm wondering if I need to divide it into some sub
domains...
Does anybody know the best way to avoid these errors?

   Hello,

   When there are problems in meshing, a possible procedure to
follow is this:

   - Use meshing->Mesh criteria->Mesh surfaces and select all surfaces.
   - Mesh again
   - Investigate the mesh shape, specially near the points where GiD
     exposes problems

   In your particular case, the mesh over the thick cilinders is very
agly. Try to subdivide the associated surfaces with:
      Geometry->Edit->Divide->Surfaces->Num divisions.

   In order for GiD to be able to render the beams
with his cross-section shape, it would be necessary
to create a way for defining the shapes. One possibility
would be to take advantage of the geometry defined

   This can be a very interesting capability to be
added for next versions.

This surface, generated extruding a polyline, have two internal edges, and
it is complicated to mesh.
It is possible to generate the mesh, but the nodes are not generated over
the edge  (to render is
necessary also a special meshing)
Is is recommended to avoid surfaces with "internal edges".

Note: if you collapse this model, the surface is divided automatically in
three parts.

It is not possible to extrude from a shape to another shape, only is possible, for example, extrude a section 
to another scaled section. 


It is posible to extrude a point, a curve or a surface with a translation, a rotation, a scaled, a mirror a offset or a sweep along another curve

I do not understand with the elevation of your image, the final shape dam that you want create.

This is a cilyndrical pipe part cutted by some plane
I' attach this model:

This is the steps to construct it.

1- Create a line from (43.25,0) to (46.25.0)

2 -Create the surface base extruding this line whit a rotation 2D of 53º (center 0,0,0)

3- Create the rest of the pipe part, extruding this base with a translation 0,0,30, extruding only surfaces 

4- Create two auxiliar points to define cut points on the base arcs, extruding the first two points rotating 20º

5- Divide the cilyndrical intersecting the surface, selecting two points of the cut wit
   surfaces Create->Intersection->Two Points

6-collapse the model to avoid duplicated entities, and divide also the base surface 
(Geometry->Edit->Divide->Surface->Neart Point)

7-create a  new surface to divide in tho parts

8-Delete the unneeded surfaces, lines and points, create the volume, and this is the result:

   Hello,

   You can use any program for image manipulation. Photoshop
is a good alternative. Another option is to use GIMP, that
is a very powerful open source program, available in both,
Windows and UNIX.

Hello Gid-user and developer!

One question:
Did ever someone programmed an CGNS output from gid's preprocessor
an the apropiate CGNS input for gid's postprocessor ?

                  [GiDlist] Scripts over customized problems

Send by: Jesús Torrecilla
On: Tue Sep 17 13:59:01 CEST 2002



Hi there all,

First of all, in this mail there are some questions about Rambshell. Since
it is very close to GiD I have decided to send them here. Sorry for the
inconvenience.

I have just downloaded the last Rambshell Demo version and am doing a
simulation in which I have several similar models, just differing in the
geometric dimensions (same loads and boundary conditions), so I am writing a
Python script to automatize the preprocessing and (I hope) postprocessing of
the different models. Now, I have some doubts:

	1) How can you call a function which is proper of Rambshell and not of GiD?
v.g. In GiD you can create a line by escape escape escape geometry create
line p1 p2, but, how can you, for example assign a load onto a surface in
Rambshell?

	2) How can I save Rambshell Graphs made by Integrate-Graphs option?


Thanks in advance,


	Jesús Torrecilla

1) How can you call a function which is proper of Rambshell and not of GiD?
 v.g. In GiD you can create a line by escape escape escape geometry create
 line p1 p2, but, how can you, for example assign a load onto a surface in
 Rambshell?

Exist two order types:
a) GiD internal process orders, for example, "escape geometry create line"
b) tcl orders defined by the problem type interface (or standard GiD scripts), for example, 
"WarnWinText" to show a message in a tcl window

Only the first type a) can be used directly in a batch file

To see tha syntax or some orders, use this commands, and see the order list of the Undo window
For example, in RamBShell, to assign a condition named "Puctual_Load" with some values (Fx=Fy=Mx=My=Mz=0, and Fz=-5.3) to the nodes 5 and 6 use:

escape escape escape escape data cond assign Punctual_Load change N-m 0.0 0.0 -5.3 0.0 0.0 0.0
5 6
escape

It is possible also try to execute some TCL command (type b) in a batch file with the special order *****TCL
*****TCL tcl_command
Note: If this command is used in batch file and GiD is invoked with option -n it will not work. To make TCL commands execute when GiD is executed without any window, you should use the -n2 option. (see section INVOKING GiD)

If the tcl command is defined in the problem type, this problemtype must be loaded before using this procedure.

2) How can I save Rambshell Graphs made by Integrate-Graphs option?

This graphs are created in tcl by RamBShell interface without GiD intervention, It is not possiblo to save this graphs.
Only is available to copy the graph data points to the clipboard (menu copy) to past manually in a text file, and create the graph
for example with Microsoft Excel.

    Hello,

    In addition to all the good advide that Enrique has already given,
two more details:

   - If you use copy in a Rambshell graphs, you can directly paste
     into Excel or any other spreadsheet.
   - If you use TCL, you have the disadvantage that you need to
     learn a new language, but the advantage that you can integrate
     your modification code inside GiD and gain total control over
     the program. To do so, it is possible to check the TCL files both
     inside the Rambshell problemtype and in the scripts section of
     GiD.

I have been running the tutorial with some success, but I have been having a 
few problems with errors about files not being found.  First it was just the 
help files, but this was not a serious problem.  Now when I try to run the 
calculations for the RamSeries4 module I am getting the message:

"Problem type 'RamSeries4/ramsolid' can't be found"

When I open the Help file I get the message:

"couldn't open '../GID/info/html-version/ 
../GID/info/html-version/intro/intro.html': no such file or directory"

/GID/ is the directory I created to put my copy of GiD in.  What is going 
wrong?  Where can I make the adjustments so that my files can be found?

My system is Linux Red Hat 7.3 with the 2.4.18-10 kernel

Yes, I neglected to explain that all the directories seem to be in place.  
When I got the error notice about the missing files, I looked for them and 
found them where the error said that it looked for them.  My directories show 
up exactly as you illustrate.  I don't think it's a permissions problem 
because I am running gid as root.

Is there a setting in the gid.exe or gid.sample files that needs changing?  
Should I post the contents of these?

Sorry, the current RamSeries4 downloaded is for Windows, and you use Linux.
All the tcl code works on all platforms, but inside /RamSeries4/ramsolid and
/RamSeries4/rambshell
for Linux is needed the program "ramsolid" ("ramsolid.exe" is only for
Windows).

Contact with http://www.compassis.com to  obtain a compilation of RamSeries
for Linux

I have a basic NURBS line problem that I cannot solve.

Given a line and a point not in the line, how do I create a NURBS line that 
begins in the line, passes through the point and ends in the line again so 
that the NURBS line is tangent at both points where it meets the line?

A similar problem that is discussed in the Help file is creating a closed 
curve.

I can do this by adding a few points to generate a curve and then I go to the 
context menu.  First I select Last Point and then Connect C-a and then select 
the first point I created.  The curve closes up nicely, but I can't seem to 
figure out how to make the closed NURBS curve tangent to itself at the first 
and last point when I close it up.  The options that the Help file suggest do 
not seem to appear in the context menu.

While struggling with this problem, I find GiD crashes a great deal too.

   Hello,

   To make a closed NURBS line tangent in the origin/end point, it
is possible to use:

   - Select with Control-a the first point
   - In contextual submenu use 'Tangents','Next','By line'

Hello, 

I would like to know exactly when the InitGIDProject and the LoadGIDProject procedures are called. Indeed, when I call Data>Problem Types>..., the LoadGIDProject is also called, and when I open a saved file, the InitGIDProject is called. Is it possible to avoid calling the InitGIDProject procedure when the problem type is selected?

InitGIDProject is a event generated by loading the problemtype, the argument provided is the 
complete path of the directory .gid of this problem type

For example:
InitGIDProject C:/gid project/problemtypes/Test s/Vel Giro.gid

EndGIDProject is a event generated by unloading the problemtype.

LoadGIDProject is generated loading a model (also after load a problem type), the argument is the 
complete path name of the file of this model to contain specific problemtype data (.spd extension)
For example:
LoadGIDProject C:/public/model.gid/model.spd

SaveGIDProject is generated if the user (or the automatic backup) save the model, it is an oportunity to the problem data to save some specific data in the spd file.

To test this events, use a WarnWinText command to show a debug message
For example, copy in 'problemtype'.tcl this code:

proc InitGIDProject { dir } {
  WarnWinText "InitGIDProject $dir"
}
proc InitGIDPostProcess {} {
  WarnWinText "InitGIDPostProcess"
}
proc EndGIDProject {} {
  WarnWinText "EndGIDProject. Falla si había cerrado esta ventana y cargo otro problem type"  
}

proc LoadGIDProject { filespd } {
  WarnWinText "LoadGIDProject $filespd"
}

proc SaveGIDProject { filespd } {
  WarnWinText "SaveGIDProject $filespd"
}

proc LoadResultsGIDPostProcess { file } {
  WarnWinText "LoadResultsGIDPostProcess $file"
}

proc EndGIDPostProcess {} {
  WarnWinText "EndGIDPostProcess"
}

proc BeforeWriteCalcFileGIDProject { file } {
  WarnWinText "BeforeWriteCalcFileGIDProject $file"
}

proc AfterWriteCalcFileGIDProject { file errcode} {
  WarnWinText "AfterWriteCalcFileGIDProject $file $errcode"
}

Is it not possible to avoid the call to InitGIDProject, but if you not write a proc InitGIDProject, to make some action in response, this event is ignorated.

  In fact, it should be fairly easy to check, at the beginning of
InitGIDProject, if your restrictive
conditions are met.

  For example, you  can check that the project name is UNKNOWN by using

If you read a model pertaining of a problem type, this problem type is also loaded, and the InitGIDProject event is raised

Store inside a global tcl variable a value to call your function only once.

proc InitGIDProject { dir } {
  global MyProblemTypeVars
  if { ![info exists  MyProblemTypeVars(IsTheFisrtType)] || $MyProblemTypeVars(IsTheFisrtTime) == 0 } {

Please advice the #MAT#('BookName')option. 
When we use this option how we write the bas file out?

in my .mat file I seperated as your advice, which is
before I had more than 100 fields. I now have
<Material Properties> and <Geometry Properties>. Now
how to write the Material properties out??in bas file
by using #MAT# option. Hope you got my point.

If you use for example as a field of a material (book Geometry) a field with another material (book Material)
QUESTION:Composition_Material#MAT#(Material)
VALUE:AISI_4340_STEEL

Then, in the bas file, the name of the selected material is obtained with *MatProp
*matprop(Composition_Material)
The number of this material is obtained with *matnum(matprop(Composition_Material)) 
for example:

*loop materials
*set var MID=matnum(matprop(Composition_Material))
*set var PID=matnum()
Geometry material num=*PID  Compition Material number=*MID
*end materials

Download the problemtype Nastran to see a god sample with #MAT# fields

                                                      [GiDlist] Still..How to write data out for #MAT#('BookName')  Option in .bas file

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Thu Sep 26 12:27:02 CEST 2002



This is a sample (also attached) to inquire the fields of a material from the bas file with a *tcl command

Copy this tcl procedure inside the file "problemtypename".tcl

proc WriteMatFields { matname } {
  set ret ""
  set fields [.central.s info material $matname]
  set n [lindex $fields 0]
  for { set i 0 } {  $i < $n } { incr i } {
     append ret [lindex $fields [expr $i*2+1]]
     append ret " "
     append ret [lindex $fields [expr $i*2+2]]
     append ret "
"
  }
  return $ret
}

To call from the "problemtypename".bas file use *tcl(order_tcl parameter) :

- USED MATERIALS -
*loop materials
[*MatProp(0)]
*tcl(WriteMatFields *MatProp(0))

*end materials

- UNUSED MATERIALS -
*loop materials *NotUsed
[*MatProp(0)]
*tcl(WriteMatFields *MatProp(0))

*end materials

Hi Enrique
   Many thanks for your advice.For USING WITH THE ID
defining the type of material or property is very good
IDEAS.I have tried to work it out. Actually, in my
case I have <Material Property> and <Geometry
Property> in one file,(Mat file), same as in Nastran.
In Nastran the <Material Property> is not to be
assigned(I don't know also how you worked it out and
how we can get the mat prop in data file). In my case
when I put the values of the material in the field
boxes then GiD ask to assign then I assigned. Then I
go for <Geometry Property> did the same way, select
and assign. Then write the data file out. The fields
in <Material Property> were not written out but only
the fields in <Geometry Property>. I realized that GiD
recognizes only the last assignment in Mat file. What
I did now is like that: Copy the whole fields in
Material property to the Geometry property and make
both property as one Material then it works with no
problem, but it seems idiot because I have to repeat
the same material again and again.
--------------
Gif files
--------------
In my mat file I included a lot of IMAGE:***.gif. Now
I would like to have those gif file in seperate
folder. How should we write in problemtype.tcl to
control those gif files?? I looked at those examples
attached with GiD.7 but still could not figure out.
--------------

Thanks so much again

Best regards

 Hi,

At the moment in GiD it is only possible assigns one material to every
geometric entity, it means that if you assign more than one material to a
geometric entity, GiD only takes care of the last one.
 I know two possible solutions for your question:

 1-      Using #MAT#(Book Name) command, with this command is possible
create links between different materials. In your case you have to divide
your mat file in two books: material properties and geometry properties and
only allow to the user assign one of them. You can take a look to
Nastran-Interface like an example.

 2-      Defining your materials likes conditions; in this case you can
assign so many materials as you want to any geometric entity. The problem
associated to this option is that you cannot save the materials parameters.
To solve this problem you can use the tcl-tk extension of GiD to create some
kind of file to save the values of the material. You can take a look to
Ram-Series (Steel sections window) like an example.

 I hope this information can help you

 Best Regards

Hi Enrique and Aleix
   Thanks so much for your advice. I think the option
to put the material as a condition is also good idea
but in my case I only need to write the material
properties in one single line, not to every element
assigned, I think you know what I mean. To write in
condition all fields should be repeated over loop
elements right then all the fields of material have to
be written out as same number as element assigned.For
example, in bas file:
--------------------------------
*set Cond Material_Properties
*loop elems *OnlyIncond
*Cond(Young_Modulus_E,real) *Cond(Poisson_ratio,real)
*end elems
--------------------------------
if I assign to 10 elements then the Young_Modulus_E
and Poisson_ratio will be written out 10 times.
How can I get only one line (1 time) of
Material_Properties written out?? I think in this case
we have to set sum of count with *if condition? 
--------------------------------
*****Gif files*****
In my ProblemType.gid directory there are more than 10
Gif files used in mat file by command
<IMAGE:'FigureName'.gif>. Now I create the directory
under problemType.gid Dir and put all the gif files in
that. But GiD didn't recognize those files. I know
that we should write something in problemType.tcl file
to control it but didn't know how? I looked over those
Ramshell and Nastran and whatever you included with
GiD but still not clear.
It would be great if you put more online information
about Advanced GiD. To work with pure Tcl/Tk is not a
problem but to combine or interface the Tcl/Tk with
GiD and its components is still confused. Please give
more examples to expose those problems.


With my best regards..

1) You can use a break inside the loop to write only once.

*set Cond Material_Properties
*loop elems *OnlyIncond
*Cond(Young_Modulus_E,real) *Cond(Poisson_ratio,real)
*break
*end elems

2) It seems some bug of GiD, packing the pictures of the special field image: "imgname".gif
(depending of the window size, only a brief splash of the image is showed).

Send by: VSayako Willy

Hi all of GiD Team

Can we create menu inserted between <Meshing>
<'NewMenu'> and <Calculate>?, instead of <Calculate>
.... and <help> menus?? 
The reason is that after getting anything done in this
<NewMenu> then we go for <Calculate> menu as a
sequence. Just a thought and opinion!!
*************************************
I found some commands in ProblemType.tcl file in your
attached problem examples such as:
-GidChangeDataLabel-
-GidAddUserDataOptionsMenu-
-GidAddUserDataOptions-
-GidOpenProblemData-
-GidOpenconditions-
Where can I find those commands mentioned in the
online documents? What are those different from the
following commands:
-CreateMenu
-InsertMenuOption..etc. 
which are mentioned in the online documents.

With my best regards.

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Fri Oct 4 10:17:01 CEST 2002



See the definiton of the procedure CreateMenu, inside the file dev_kit.tcl (located in /scripts of GiD)

You can write in  your problem type (¡¡never modify the scripts of GiD!!) a similar modified function

The definition of the GiD menus is stored in some global arrays:
for preprocess: MenuNames MenuEntries MenuCommands MenuAcceler
for postprocess:  MenuNamesP MenuEntriesP MenuCommandsP MenuAccelerP

UpdateMenus recreated the menus from the values of this array.

To insert a menu in this positon:  <...> <Meshing> <'NewMenu'> <Calculate><help>
You only need add to the string list MenuNames a new item 'NewMenu' in the position last-2, 
and now move the array ( MenuEntries MenuCommands MenuAcceler) of the menus "Calculate" and "Help" 
to the right: last-1 to last and last-2 to last-1

This is a untested sample:

proc MytTestCreateMenu {new_menu_name} {
  global MenuNames MenuEntries MenuCommands MenuAcceler

  set last   [llength $MenuNames]
  set pos1 [expr $last-1] 
  set pos2 [expr $last-2] 

  set MenuNames [linsert $MenuNames $pos "$new_menu_name"]
  set MenuEntries($last)  $MenuEntries($pos1) 
  set MenuCommands($last) $MenuCommands($pos1) 
  set MenuAcceler($last)  $MenuAcceler($pos1) 

  set MenuEntries($pos1)  $MenuEntries($pos2) 
  set MenuCommands($pos1) $MenuCommands($pos2) 
  set MenuAcceler($pos1)  $MenuAcceler($pos2) 

  set MenuEntries($pos2) ""
  set MenuCommands($pos2) ""
  set MenuAcceler($pos2)  ""
}

To create your menu, add this code to "problemtype".tcl, and use it inside InitGIDProject for example:

MytTestCreateMenu "NewMenu"
UpdateMenus

Hi Enrique
   Thanks so much  for your advice. I have tried what
you sent to me about the tcl code but seems not to
work out. OK no problem I will try to work out more
but urgent thing that would like to ask is that:
(see also my attached file)
1. What is the limitation of the length field in the
mat,prb,or cnd file?? Same file I have but when
displaying in different computer sometime the length
of the file is skipped the line? see the windows in my
attached files:
What is the cause of this??? and how should we set it
up?

This code is tested and it works. Add a menu named "NewMenu" before "Calculate",
and add a submenu calling a window to show the classical message "hello world".

proc InitGIDProject { dir } {
  MytTestCreateMenu "NewMenu"
  InsertMenuOption "NewMenu" "Hello" 0 "WarnWin "Hello world!"" "PRE"
  UpdateMenus
}

proc MytTestCreateMenu {new_menu_name} {
  global MenuNames MenuEntries MenuCommands MenuAcceler

  set last   [llength $MenuNames]
  set pos1 [expr $last-1] 
  set pos2 [expr $last-2] 

  set MenuNames [linsert $MenuNames $pos2 "$new_menu_name"]
  set MenuEntries($last)  $MenuEntries($pos1) 
  set MenuCommands($last) $MenuCommands($pos1) 
  set MenuAcceler($last)  $MenuAcceler($pos1) 
 
  set MenuEntries($pos1)  $MenuEntries($pos2) 
  set MenuCommands($pos1) $MenuCommands($pos2) 
  set MenuAcceler($pos1)  $MenuAcceler($pos2) 
 
  set MenuEntries($pos2)  [list ""]
  set MenuCommands($pos2) [list ""]
  set MenuAcceler($pos2)  [list ""]
}


In general unrecommended the use of too large names or excesive mumber of fields 
(for problems of limitation of some internal data, and for visualization pourposes)

The names of materials and conditions are internally limited to 300 characters,
and the number of fields of a material is limited to 100 in some old procedures.
The lenght of a field is unlimited, but if it is too large, cannot be showed inside a window.

Some internal limits (e.j. the limit of 100 fields for a material) can be removed for the 
next GiD 7.1.1-beta version.

The aspect of a window can change from a computer to another one, because it does not have 
fixed size, It is packed dynamically. The aesthetic change can be due to the use of a different font.

Using tcl/tk in a problem type, it is possible to redefine new user windows
for conditions, etc,
to be used instead the default ones, but it requires certain work.

Note, your "attached file" is missing.

GiD read the fields in a generic mode, and it is not ready to customize the
look of each field.

It is possible to redefine your own window (and not use the GiD default
window), but it
seems a tedious work.
To create your own materials windows you can read the /scripts files (see
DataWindows.tcl) and
copy and modify some code in your problemtype.tcl file to overwrite the
standard procedure.

Hi Enrique
   I have created the tcl files which will be used in
my problemType. In my ProblemType.tcl file I connected
with the following command:
<source [file join $dir scripts xxxxxx.tcl]>
I don't know if it's somewhere wrong?? but it says
that can't read the "dir"...I don't know if we should
add anything else more???
Actually while having not included the source command
the ProblemType.tcl is working well with other
options.

Generally how can we do to connect those tcl files in
scripts directory.

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Tue Oct 29 13:19:02 CET 2002



if your command 
  source [file join $dir scripts xxxxxx.tcl]
is inside the proc InitGIDProject, then dir is a parameter of this procedure, 
containing the path ot your problem type, else you are responsible 
to set the variable dir with your desired path.
proc InitGIDProject { dir } {
  ...
  source [file join $dir scripts xxxxxx.tcl]
  ...
}

If your problem type is
/problemtypes/sample.gid , 
then xxxxxx.tcl can be located in 
/problemtypes/sample.gid/scripts/xxxxxx.tcl 

Notes:
- You can store the parameter dir of InitGIDProject in another global variable to access to the problemtype directory inside another procedure

proc InitGIDProject { dir } {
  global MySampleVar
  set MySampleVar(ProblemTypePath) $dir
   ...
}

proc another { } {
  global MySampleVar
  source [file join $MySampleVar(ProblemTypePath) scripts xxxxxx.tcl]
  ...
}

- It is unrecommended to copy your own scripts in the /scripts directory of GiD, is best to copy it inside your own problemtype directory.

You must call your procedure directly from InitGIDProject (this procedure is
automatically called by GiD on the "problemtype load" event)
You can use InitGIDProject to create some menu to invoke after your
procedures

Read the GiD help about Tcl/tk extension.

   Hello,

   This is a slightly difficult way to say that you have
problems near line 296.

   Technically speaking, it means that there is only one
selected surface that has this line as boundary. In order
to create a closed volume, all lines must have exactly
two surfaces with that line as boundary.

Your model has bad precision, for that reason appear some duplicated
entities.
I' attach your model corrected, with the volume created and meshed.
In order to obtain it, I have collapsed the model with a tolerance of 1.5
units, I have made some line intersections and deleted and re-created from
the boundary lines several conflicting surfaces.

Thanks so much Enrique
    I just found from Nastran how to locate the **.gif
files in mat file or cnd..just like this:
IMAGE:images/Gpic.gif
where <images> is a subfolder in ProblemType.gid

Best regards

Send by: Enrique Escolano

In GiD, a entity can be only of a single material, therefore if a material is assigned, the previous one is overwritten.
You can use a condition instead a material if you need multiple assignation to the same entity.

In the Nastran problemtype, only permit to assign the materials of type "Property", not the type "Material", but this 
propertie include implicit the composition material, it is unneeded to assing another time. 
(This limitation of the assignation of materials to entities is programmed with tcl, inside "nastran.tcl")

In the problem type "RamSeries4/Rambshell" it exists a sample of customization of the condition window, to show the steel properties, but it is not easy to learn.

 

I unknown exactly your problem with the pictures, it seems a possible bug if the material or contition contain "TITLES".
The pictures are visible for all titles?.

Hi Enrique and all
   In case I have about 50 geomety properties in mat
file, like 
NUMBER:1 MATERIAL:I_section
QUESTION:Height
VALUE:h
.....
and other different properties
END MATERIAL
NUMBER:2 MATERIAL:L_Section
QUESTION:Width
VALUE:w
.....
and other different properties fields from NUMBER:1
......
.....
END MATERIAL
NUMBER:50 MATERIAL:U_Section
.....
etc...

My question is:
1. In this case how can we write the bas file to get
the different fields of each MATERIAL when it is
assigned? 
2. Can we use *if to control it? by using
NUMBER:<Material number>like 1 to 50 or
MATERIAL:<Material Name>?

I have tried different ways but it didn't help.

Best regards.

It is nod valid to use as identifier the NUMBER defined in the *.mat file (in a future this word NUMBER:1 can be optional)

inside the bas file ,the material number *matnum() is different, only are considered the applied materials, renumbered to 1, 2, .. to fill holes.
Also the user can create new derived materials, with the same fields as the parent.

You must define for each material a special field (can be hidden) only to identify in the bas file the type of the material
for example:

NUMBER:1 MATERIAL:I_section
QUESTION: ID
VALUE: 1
STATE: HIDDEN
QUESTION:Height
VALUE:h
END MATERIAL
NUMBER:2 MATERIAL:L_Section
QUESTION: ID
VALUE: 2
STATE: HIDDEN
QUESTION:Width
VALUE:w
END MATERIAL


and check this identifier to use only the appropiate field names for this type of material:

*loop materials
*if(MatProp(ID,int)==1)
*MatProp(Height)
*elseif(MatProp(ID,int)==2)
*MatProp(Width)
*else
...
*endif
*end materials

It is also possible a loop over the materials not used in the model with the modifier *NotUsed

*loop materials *NotUsed
...
*end materials

3code.exe  21

when I press start button in calculat windows,I was told "File writen OK" in state line of GID,but I cann't get the result of calculation.

Moveover,if I input follow line in MS-DOS:
code.exe filename
everything is ok and I can get result. I don't know why I cann't calculate in GID. Could you tell me the reason?

                  [GiDlist] Setting Precision in Exported GiD Mesh / Plotting Quadratic elements

Send by: Jeramy Ashlock
On: Fri Sep 20 19:27:02 CEST 2002



1.)  Setting Precision in Exported GiD Mesh

When I export a mesh as a GiD Mesh text file (Files-->Export-->GiD Mesh), coordinates of 0.00000 are written as a very small number
with a random mantissa, for example; 1.2343224e-016.   As a result, my analysis program does not find that the input mesh is
symmetric, so computation time is increased.

I discovered that I could write the project as an Ascii Project (Files-->Export-->Ascii project), then re-open the Ascii project
file in GiD and regenerate the GiD Mesh file and the coordinates are then written as 0.0000000.

Is there a way to set the precision so that I don't have to play this game when exporting a GiD Mesh?



2.) Plotting Quadratic elements

I have been following the past discussions about how the mid-nodes of quadratic triangles and quadrilaterals are placed correctly,
but the elements are drawn with straight lines connecting the corner nodes rather than curved lines that go through the mid-nodes.
By plotting the mesh using the 'patch' function in matlab, I am able to see the correct curved element surface.  Is there any way to
do this in GiD yet?

Does GiD behave this way when postprocessing?  If so, I was planning on purchasing GiD and using it for postprocessing, but I will
keep using matlab until this feature is introduced, as I will not see the true displacement profile in GiD.

thanks for your help

   Hello,

   You can write the mesh by using the customization capabilities
of GiD (the .bas file in the problemtype).

   There, you can use commands like:

     *RealFormat %.3g or
     *Format %15.5f

   To begin to create a problemtype, check one of the problemtypes
included in the distribution as a example, and modify it to suit your
needs. Read also: Help->Customization help

1) Only is possible to specify a format if you write a template .bas (see
help on files->Export->Using Template, and  Customization->Template file)

2) For the next beta version, the quadratic elements are drawn as linear,
with straight lines, or with curved edges, this can be changed inside the
preference window.

If you download RamSeries using the Internet Retrieval feature (Data menu),
the downloaded calculation
code (problemtypes
amseries4
amsolid.gid
amsolid.exe) works only for
Windows.
For Linux is needed another aditional ramsolid compiled code.

But when the Warning:Materials windows appears and asks me whether I want to save or not, if I press the "Yes" button, GID tells me there are too many fields in material, limited to 100 and that I can't continue creating this new material.

Could you please tell me whether it is possible to avoid this limitation or not.

It is possible that some order of your .bat file is unsupported by command.exe in GiD6.3.0b.
command.exe is an alternative of GiD to run the bat file without use the standard command.com or cmd.exe of Windows (to avoid some problems).
Trick: If you rename command.exe (located inside the GiD directory), the bat file is interpreted directly by cmd.exe.

Attach your complete bat file to see it.

Try also to download the current version 7.1 of GiD.

Material.put(ELASTIC_MODULUS, 205000)

can I get the name of the filed ("ELASTIC_MODULUS") by a command like *MatProp(0) for the material's name, or sould I write for each field :

*loop materials
*MatProp(0).put(ELASTIC_MODULUS, *MatProp(1))
*MatProp(0).put(POISSON_RATIO,*MatProp(2))

*end

It is not available directly in the bas file to recover the name of a field,
and it is recommended to use *Matprod(ELASTIC_MODULUS) instead *MatProp(1) ,
is more human readable, and easy to mantain (if you add or remove fields is not necessary to renumber)

For advanced users, it is possible to obtain the fields and values of a material from tcl, with a info command

.central.s info materials 
return a list with all the material names

.central.s info material "material_name"
return a list with the fields and values of this material

It is possible to create a procedure inside the file "problemtypename".tcl, and call this procedure from the bas file
with the order *tcl(tclcommand) 
The returned string is printed directly to the output file.

                  [GiDlist] new feature in DEPENDENCIES field (experimental)

Send by: Jorge Suit Perez Ronda
On: Thu Sep 26 11:00:19 CEST 2002



  As we have received some request about accessing to properties field 
of other windows (not only local field) using DEPENDENCIES, here we 
announce an experimental feature implemented in GiD (7.1 and above).

Now is able to reference fields of other window using what we call 
'global field reference'. A global reference is a field cualified with 
the 'data set' where it belongs. The data set are, for now: CONDITIONS 
and PROBLEM DATA.


-Referencing CONDITIONS:

A global reference to this data set is conditions.cndname.field or 
cndname.field if we are referencing from one condition to another.

- Referencing PROBLEM DATA:

A global reference to this data set is gendata.field

- An example.

Here is an example (the problemtype is also attached):

NUMBER: 1 CONDITION: Load
CONDTYPE: over points
CONDMESHTYPE: over nodes
QUESTION: Fx
VALUE: 0
QUESTION: Fy
VALUE: 0
QUESTION: Fz
VALUE: 0
QUESTION: Field_1
VALUE: 1
QUESTION: Field_2
VALUE: 2
END CONDITION


PROBLEM DATA
QUESTION: STATE_Field1:#CB#(NORMAL,DISABLED,HIDDEN)
VALUE: NORMAL
DEPENDENCIES: (NORMAL,RESTORE,Conditions.Load.Field_1,1)
DEPENDENCIES: (DISABLED,SET,Conditions.Load.Field_1,1)
DEPENDENCIES: (HIDDEN,HIDE,Conditions.Load.Field_1,1)
QUESTION: STATE_Field2:#CB#(NORMAL,DISABLED,HIDDEN)
VALUE: NORMAL

                  [GiDlist] Problems with .unix.bat

Send by: Arturo di Gioia
On: Tue Oct 1 19:03:01 CEST 2002



Hallo,
I've got a problem with the execution of a user defined .unix.bat file.
Its contents are

#!/bin/csh -f
#    OutputFile: $2/sgbem.log
#    ErrorFile: $2/sgbem.err
cd $2
rm -f $2/*.flavia.* $2/sgbem.err $2/sgbem.log $2/inputfilename.txt
touch $2/inputfilename.txt
echo $1.dat >> $2/inputfilename.txt
cp $3/sgbem $2
$2/sgbem
if ( !(-e $2/$1.flavia.res) || !(-s $2/$1.flavia.res)) then
echo "Program failed" >> $2/sgbem.err
endif

The Fortran executable 'sgbem' reads the input file name written in
'inputfilename.txt'.

The problem is that the script is executed but the solver execution
fails. All other commands are executed.

I tried to manually launch the script from the directory containing the
model I wanted to solve (thus doing exactly what GiD should do according
to the manual) and everything worked. The command I issued is

Some comments about your .unix.bat script:
1)  cd $2 
Is not necessary, GiD automatically change to this directory before call the bat file.
2) Instead use echo $1.dat >> $2/inputfilename.txt
Is best only rename $1.dat to inputfilename.txt : 
mv $2/$1.dat $2/inputfilename.txt

3) check if the copy of sgbem have execution permissions
To make a file executable use: 
chmod +x sgbem

delete this copy of sgbem after run
rm $2/sgbem

Send by: LEWIS, RANDEL E

The Utility function "Move" in GiD 7.1 appears to behave the same as the "Copy" function.  It creates new entities and does not reform the links to moved entities.  This is a severe limitation when editing 3D models.  Is there a work around or patch to fix this?

This is not a bug, the utility move, create a copy of entities only if the selection cannot be moved because it is joined to another unselected entities (or exists higherentites).

If you select a group of isolated entities, then this entitites are only moved.

For example:

                  [GiDlist] Gauss points for tetrahedras. Postprocessing with natural coordinates: given

Send by: Andres Peratta
On: Fri Oct 4 20:27:01 CEST 2002




Hi there,
I have my results in the Gauss-Points 
of a 3D mesh made of quadrilateral tetrahedras.
I have 24 gauss points placed at the boundary of each tetrahedra.
( 6 gauss points per face )
I guess that my GaussPoint definition block should be something like this :

GaussPoints "gauss_points_name" ElemType Tetrahedra
  Number of Gauss Points: 24
  Natural Coordinates : given
  (***)
end gausspoints  

Here are my questions :
1- what is the convention and the coordinate system used to give the natural coordinates in (***) ?
2- I notice that Kenji Furui reported a bug on  Fri Sep 6 00:20:02 2002 when dealing with
   4 gauss points in tetrahedras. I have GID 7.0 for linux, I wonder if this bug is already removed, 
   and if is there any patch fot this.

Thanks in advance 
Andres

hello,
1. natural coordinates for triangles and tetrahedras are between 0.0 and 1.0,
local to the element.
   for cuadrilaterals and hexahedras must be between -1.0 and 1.0
2. the bug that Kenji Furui reported is solved and we are preparing a version
to release it today or tomorrow.

                              [GiDlist] A mesh to geometry feature?

Send by: Philippe Bouchilloux
On: Fri Oct 4 22:05:02 CEST 2002



Hello:

I am currently trying to work on a mesh I have imported in GiD (the 
original format is STL, but this has no importance).

Because the mesh was done with triangles, and my solver needs quads, I 
would like to change the mesh. Although GiD provides some functions to 
modify/delete elements, there does not seem to be provisions for the type 
of work I am trying to do.

Furthermore, the geometry and mesh are two independent entities in GiD, 
thus making it impossible to use the imported mesh to create a geometry 
(which I could then re-mesh at will).  Or at least, this is my current 
impression.

I would like to know if anyone has worked on such a problem and come up 
with a solution.

Thanks.

Philippe

You can import your mesh of triangles with Files->Import->Surf Mesh (from a
STL or GiD mesh ascii format file)
This read the mesh, and convert it to a pseudo-geometic entity, named
"surfmesh" in GiD (this is not a standard surface as a NURB, internally is
stored the shape of the underlying mesh). This "surfmesh" can be remeshed to
obtain the derided quadrilaterals.

Note: The meshing of a "surfmesh" can fail if the shape of the mesh is not
smooth.

Why doesn't the Utilities version of Move work like the Geometry->Edit version which will move a singe point of a higher entity structure and then update the links?  In a 3D model having to move a series of related points one point at a time rather than as a group is needlessly time consuming.  Having to destroy all the higher entities first in order to use the Utilities version and then having to recreate the higher entities would be even worse.

The option "Move Point" not only apply a translation, also deform the
geometry.
This geometric deformation is a badly defined operation It can corrupt the
model
(if you deform moving a point, the lines must be also deformed, but the
interior of a surface
witn this contour lines is not able to be deformed on a compatible way).
This deformation, in general, only is valid for small displacements.

Hi there:

Thanks for the tip regarding the import->surface_mesh feature.  It seems to 
work well.

The next step was to re-mesh the surfaces with quads.  However, GiD does 
not accept to do that with the pseudo-surfaces obtained (I get the error 
message "Quadrilaterals not accepted for Surfmeshes").  The only solution I 
found was to delete the pseudo-surfaces and create NURBS from the 
lines.  Is there a simpler way to go?

Thanks.

It can be that the file iges is not located, try  to use the absolute path for the iges file in the batch file, for example
Files IGESRead
"C:/public/s_bauteil_6k.igs"
Also is possible that the file is correctly readed, but it is not centered in screen (in batch mode, some graphic operations, as redraws, are disabled)
After import, use the menu View->Zoom->Frame to center the piece in screen.
You can also start the batch file, with the flag +g to activate graphic operations: gid -b+g batchfile (see help, Invoking GiD)

Enrique,

Regarding your attached discussion of Menu manipulations, is there any documentation discussing the internal structure of GiD's menus and which files are associated with which menus?  In addition, is there documentation which describes how to perform manipulations such as you've recommended below?  I would like to add the file type *.nid to the default list for Export->Calculation but have no idea where to begin.

It not exist aditional information about the tcl code of GiD, but all tcl files 
(located in the directory /scripts) are ascii files. Any user can read it to learn. 
It is higthly unrecommended to modify this files (if update GiD are overwritten), 
instead is best to change GiD with tcl scripts loaded with the problem type.

To learn to customize, see also the code of another good problemtypes, as RamSeries or Nastran.

The file GrDataMenus.tcl contain the standard values filling the arrays 
of the menus ( MenuNames MenuEntries MenuCommands MenuAcceler)
The file tclfileP.tcl, contain the code to create the menus from the array  (proc CreateTopMenus, etc)

The file dev_kit.tcl contain some procedures to facilitate the use to a problemtype developer 
(as explained in help->Tcl-Tk extension->Managing menus)


To change the use of the menu Export->Calculation, see the value of the arrays to define this option (in GrDataMenus.tcl):

    set MenuEntries(0,5) [list [_ IGES...] [_ DXF...] --- [_ GiD mesh...] --- 
        [_ Text data report...]  [_ Ascii project...] [_ ON layers...] --- 
        [_ Calculation file...] [_ Using Template .bas (only mesh)] ]

    set MenuCommands(0,5) { {Files IgesWrite} {Files DXFWrite} "" {Files WriteMesh} "" 
         {Files WriteAscii} {Files SaveAsciiProj} {Files SaveLayer} "" 
         {Files WriteCalcFile} {-np- SetTemplatesMenu %W }}

    set MenuAcceler(0,5) { "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "Control-x Control-c" ""}

You can change this values an call UpdateMenus

for example, 
    set MenuCommands(0,5) { {Files IgesWrite} {Files DXFWrite} "" {Files WriteMesh} "" 
         {Files WriteAscii} {Files SaveAsciiProj} {Files SaveLayer} "" 
         {-np- MyWriteCalc} {-np- SetTemplatesMenu %W }}

    UpdateMenus

-np- is for not process MyWriteCalc as a .central.s process order, instead is a tcl order

You must define this new tcl procedure.

The common dialog to open a file used is the proc Browser-ramR (tclfileP.tcl) 
(this procedure facilitate the use of tkFDialog, defined in tkfbox.tcl)

proc MyWriteCalc { } {
    set ChooseType file
    set OpenMode write
    set w .gid 
    #parent witget
    set title {Write nid file}
    set DefaultFile {}
    #set filetypes {{{Output nid data} {.nid}} {{All files} {.*}}}
    #set defaultextension ""
    set filetypes {{{Output nid data} {.nid}}}
    set defaultextension ".nid" 
     # to force allwais this extension
    set filename [Browser-ramR $ChooseType $OpenMode $w $title $DefaultFile $filetypes $defaultextension]

    if { $filename != "" } {
      .central.s process Files WriteCalcFile "$filename"
    }
}

I' not understand your questions, i do not know if my answers will answer their doubts.

1) You can use 
 inside the help string to visualize this information in multiple lines.
for example:
HELP: Use this condition to prescribe the displacement of selected points.
Every marked flag will prescribe the movement for that degree of freedom.
The values fields permmit to set a prescribed displacement for that degree.
Units in International System for values are:
	 (m) for the displacements.

2) The calculation file data (.dat file written with calculate) for GiD is only an output file, it cannot be reloaded by GiD.
If you modify this file externally with some ASCII editor, then you must run your code or the bat file externally, to use 
this modified file as input. (pressing calculate your modified file is overwritten)

Hi Enrique 
   You got my point but what I mean it's not the
OUTPUT of the comment in <HELP:> Yes we can use the 

to skip the line for out put (visualization) but in
the file itself, I mean, we should write only one
line. In your example, we should write only one single

in bas file we use * to maintain the commands lines.

It not exists a order as * in the files .cnd, .mat or *.prb,

Hi,

in formerly versions of GiD, the program was only able to process 1 GP per
Hex.
Perhaps this might be the cause. Try to use the actual version 7.1 of GiD
which can process 1 to 3 GP per dimension and Hex.

Today or tomorrow is released a corrected GiD beta version (7.1.1b)

We will send an announcement to the GiDlist as soon is available.

hello  
I am trying to import a file dxf generated in autocad. It is a topographical map with curved of level each meter, but when I import to gid and they are drawned curve each five meters.  
I need to know if the Gid has some restriction with the files dxf and what proceedings i must take to generate and import those dxf. 
I work with autocad2000.
thanks

DXF Export:
GiD only export curves in dxf format, not surfaces or volumes (because the limitations of this format with Nurb entities)

DXF Import:
Before import, check your import preferences: Automatic collapse after import (to join duplicated entities) 
and the import tolerance (automatic or manual, to select the tolerance to join entities)
 
Generally DXF is a bad CAD format, for solid models is best to export from AutoCAD in Acis format.

Send us your dxf file to check it.

You can create in the result file *.flavia.res a vectorial result: the
displacement
from the original location of each node, and select this result to draw the
deformated mesh at each time step.

This is a small sample, with a 1 node element.
To see, change to postprocess and open the file .flavia.res or .flavia.msh

Open the Deform mesh window (menu Windows->Deform mesh)
and select Main mesh deformed, using result "Displacements", with a factor=1
Then open the Animate window, select Deformation, and play it.

But i have a trouble because, i mesh my model, and then the solver generate new

If your mesh change between steps it is not available to use a displacement
result to visualize it.
You must write the mesh and result in separated files, one for time step..
It is also possible to create in GiD a specialized window programming with
tcl/tk, to animate your sequence of files.

Hi there
  I attached the file of using time step (Nonlinear
Dynamic) with GiD..Take a look. Flavia.res file format
is very simple, I used the old format. If you want to
see more deformed shape just use <Mesh Deform> option
with factor=1, in PostProcess. I used 1/4 of Moley to
do analysis if you want to see nice shape just use
<Mirror> option.. Follow as Enrique adviced in
previous mail with the <Animate>.

hi!!
I have followed the indications that you wrote me, but the results continue being the same ones: Curves of level each five meters but my origin file dxf draws curves each meter.  In gid I will create a NUrb-surface with the tool BYlinepoints.  
When i import the dxf file in gid appears a window with the following information:
*************************************************************
WARNING: Line number 72 has bad definition
    and couldn't be fixed. You should erase it
*************************************************************
I annex the dxf file
thanks for the help

In your file exist two types of DXF entities: LWPOLYLINE and POLYLINE
But in your sample, the POLYLINE use a internal flag=128, and GiD ignore this entity with this flag 
(because a bad interpretation/explanation of the DXF reference format)

The next week a new Beta version of GiD is released, and this version can read this type of entity.

You can also try to change from AutoCAD this flag, or explode polylines.

Note: A surface generated "ByLinePoints" is only a smooted aproximation to the source lines.

                  [GiDlist] Problems (GiD6.0 -> GiD7.1)

 Dear GiD team,

   I'm having problems with some input DATA options. The program is working with 
the version 6.0, but when I try to copy my problem type definition files, and use it in 
the 7.1 version, the CONDITIONS and PROBLEM DATA options do not works. Only 
an empty window appears. Is it necessary to make some changes in the .CND and 
.PRB files to use this version? This two files are following attached, if it helps ...

Thanks in Advanced !

On: Thu Oct 24 15:34:01 CEST 2002



Hi Alisson,


I take a look to files that you attached with your email, and I have the
impression that problems don't came form the change of the version:

In file *.prb: The name of some files has blanks spaces, it is not allowed.
Instead of to use blank space use "_". In problem data window statements
will appear with blanks spaces instead of "_".

	Actual definition: QUESTION: N. Points Hammer:    #CB#(1,3,7,13)
 VALUE: 13
	New definition:   QUESTION: N._Points_Hammer:#CB#(1,3,7,13)
 VALUE: 13
In *.cnd :In this file happens the same thing like in *.prb. A part of this
I thinking there is another mistake:

NUMBER: 2 CONDITION: Point-Load
CONDTYPE: over points
QUESTION: On direction X#CB#(0,1)

Statement CONDMESHTYPE is omitted

Best Regards

Aleix

Another error in addition to the spaces in the name:
The field "Tract. Value" is repeated 3 times in the same condition!!.
To reference in the bas file a field by your name: *Cond(Tract_Value)
(recommended instead the index number *Cond(2)) , this name cannot be
repeated.

Hi all, 

Dear Aleix,  I'd like to thanks for your answer, but I think this is not the problem. I 
tried to follow your suggestion but the problem remains. The same blank window is 
there. And else, if the blank spaces were the problem, it woldn't work in the 6.0 
version ( I think!). 

Anyway, I have a new information, if it helps. When I close the blank Problem Data 
window, a GiD message appear, like this:
 
     message 1:---------------- can't read "GidData(PD, SYNC,TKWIDGET)": no such 
element in array

 I'd appreciate if you have new suggestions.

best regards

                  [GiDlist] Exporting conditions applied over face elements

Send by: Christophe Louis
On: Fri Oct 25 13:33:02 CEST 2002



Hello,

I write you because I would like to know which information I can get (in a bas file) for a condition that is applied to a line that is the boundary of a quadrilateral element. I defined a condition, called Line-Pressure-Load, that is applied aver lines and transferred over face elements. 

I have quadrilateral elements that can accept a pressure as a condition but I need to specify over which face the pressure is applied (Pressure_Face_1, Pressure_Face_2, Pressure_Face_3, Pressure_Face_4). Is it possible to get this information for the calculation or is the condition simply applied over elements with a difference in the visualisation in the pre-process ?

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Fri Oct 25 16:40:02 CEST 2002



Yo can get in the bas file the nodes of the loaded face with the order 
*LocalNodes (two nodes with local number from 1 to 4 for quadrilateral)  
or 
*GlobalNodes (global nodes number)

This order must be inside a loop over elems with your condition. See help on Customization-Template file

GiD not provide directly a number of face, it is necessary some *if order to identify your specific face numeration
This is the implicit numeration faces of GiD

Triangle: 12 23 31
Quadrilateral: 12 23 34 41
Tetrahedra: 123 243 341 421
Hexahedra: 1234 1562 2673 3784 1485 5876

for example:

*set cond(Line-Pressure-Load)
*loop elems onlyincond
*if(localnodes(1)==1))
*set var facenumber=1
*elseif(localnodes(1)==2))
*set var facenumber=2
*elseif(localnodes(1)==3)) 
*set var facenumber=3
*elseif(localnodes(1)==4)) 
*set var facenumber=4
*endif
Face number: *facenumber
*end elems

Note: this code is untested, it can include some small error.
