[GiDlist] Save the Problem Type

Send by: Enrique Escolano GiD can only save the standard associated data: materials, conditions, general data.
If your problemtype has its own data (in tcl variables) then must be saved/read to disk using its own file.
I order to do this, when the user save/read a model, GiD provides a call to a Tcl procedure that the problemtype can
implement to save this additional information.
The event procedures are:(read GiD help about Tcl-Tk extension - event procedures)
proc SaveGIDProject { filespd } {
set fp [open $filespd w]
if { $fp != "" } {
#read the file contents ...
close $fp
}
}
a.. SaveGIDProject: will be called when the current opened file is saved to disk. It receives the filespd argument, which is the path of the file which is being saved, but with a .spd extension (specific problemtype data). This path can be useful if you want to write specific information of the problem type in a new file.
proc AfterOpenFile { filename format error } {
...body...
}
a.. AfterOpenFile: will be called after a geometry or mesh file is read or imported inside GiD. It receives as arguments:
a.. filename: the full name of the readed file.
b.. format: ACIS_FORMAT, DXF_FORMAT, GID_BATCH_FORMAT, GID_GEOMETRY_FORMAT, GID_MESH_FORMAT , IGES_FORMAT, NASTRAN_FORMAT,PARASOLID_FORMAT,SHAPEFILE_FORMAT,STL_FORMAT or VDA_FORMAT
c.. error: boolean 0 or 1 to indicate an error when reading.
proc SaveGIDProject { filespd } {
set fp [open $filespd w]
if { $fp != "" } {
#save the specific problemtype data file contents ...
close $fp
}
}
proc AfterOpenFile { filename format error } {
WarnWinText "$filename $format $error"
if { $format == "GID_GEOMETRY_FORMAT" } {
#open and read the additional file contents.
#the name of the file to open can be obtained from filename, e.g.
set filespd [file join $filename [file tail $filename].spd]
if { [file exists $filespd } {
set fp [open $filespd r]
#read the specific problemtype data file contents ...
close $fp
}
}
}
Instead AfterOpenFile, it's also possible to use the procedure LoadGIDProject , but note that this event is called when reading a model, but also when reading a problemtype (because it is like a special model). It's more recommended to use AfterOpenFile.
proc LoadGIDProject { filespd } {
...body...
}

Send by: Enrique Escolano This is because the Nastran problemtype only need to save with the model the "standard data" (conditions, materials, etc), and this is responsability of GiD to save the applied values. For example, a GiD condition is a list of QUESTION - VALUE fields. The question is stored in the condition definition itself *.cnd, and the different values applied to entities of the model are stored by GiD in a binary file named *.lin. But probably you are using other additional values stored in your own tcl variables (instead to fill a VALUE field), then is your responsability to save and restore this data when GiD save an read the model.

Send by: Abel Coll Hi, I'm Abel Coll,
The problem you have is that the you are meshing the model (the cylindrical parts) using a too big meshing size. Due to this, some quadratic nodes can't be mapped correctly into the surface, so as these distorted elements appear.
Try to reduce the mesh size of this surfaces.
I don't know the meshing preferences you are using, but it will be good (in your case) to use "Smoothing-> HighGeom". This kind of smoothing tends to place the mesh nodes minimizing the distance between edges and geometry (surface).
I hope this information could be usefull to you.

[GiDlist] Save Problem
Send by: Enrique Escolano Are you really writting something in the spd file?
Instead the commentary: #read the specific problemtype data file

you must off course use the "puts" tcl command to print your desired

set fp [open $filespd r]
puts $fp "hello 1"
puts $fp "hello 2"
close $fp
And off course read it again with "read" or "gets"
set fp [open $filespd r]
set a [read $fp] ;#read all contents
close $fp
You can see the tcl manual at:
http://www.gidhome.com/ManHtml/tcl8.4.9/html/TclCmd/contents.htm
But you don't need to save the information returned by [.central.s info
conditions PointLoad], it's an standard GiD condition.!!

I want to select the node via a condition, and write to file what elements are connected to it. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance Bjoern Brodersen -- ------------------------------ Dipl.-Ing. Björn Brodersen MSc TU Braunschweig Institut für Statik Beethovenstr. 51 38106 Braunschweig Tel.: 0531 / 391 - 3670 [GiDlist] Get Elements for selected node
Send by: Enrique Escolano This information is not directly available inside GiD. Do you have direct access from the elements to the nodes, but not the inverse.
The node has only a counter (higherentities) of elements referencing it .
In other hand, you can write a simple tcl procedure in order to do this, for example some like this (it's untested):
proc ElementsOfNodes { } {
foreach elementtype [lrange [GiD_Info mesh] 1 end] {
foreach elem [GiD_Info mesh elements $elementtype 1 end -sublist] {
set num [lindex $elem 0]
set nodes [lrange $elem 1 end-1]
foreach node $nodes {
lappend elemsofnode($node) $num
}
}
}
#return a string with this information
set ret ""
foreach node [lsort -integer [array names elemsofnode]] {
append ret "$node $elemsofnode
"
}
return $ret
}
Note: you can call this tcl procedure from the .bas template, with *tcl(ElementsOfNodes). The returned value is directly printed to the output calculation file.

[GiDlist] Get Elements for selected node
Send by: Björn Brodersen Hi,
thanks for this first "direction" ;-)
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with tcl, so it will take me some time to
answer whether this code works or not. First try revealed that line
> foreach node [lsort -integer [array names elemsofnode]] {
has [dont know why ;-) ] to be
> foreach node [lsort -integer [array names elemsofnode($node)]] {
to get no error on execution.
Can you give me a hint on how to shorten the procedure of loading the
problemtype over and over again after changing the tcl- file ? This will
surely ease my "trial and error" -tcl learning.
I will report when i get an working tcl function in this thread.

Send by: Maik Duwensee HI, I am a (very basic) GiD user since version 5.0 and had recently the chance to use the Number 7.?? version (test version from the webpage) . I wanted to create a pretty big triangular mesh. The 'Progress in meshing' window shows that all of the 80 surfaces I have to be meshed. But suddenly GiD crashes without any warning whatsoever. I tried different meshers and played around with the meshing options (or preferences), with no success. I am using GiD under WinXP Pro.

I would appreciate any help. Attached please find the model that I was using. All mesh criteria etc. should be defined.

Send by: Enrique Escolano Hi Timon and Maik, It seems two different problems, In the Timon's case there is not a problem requiring more than 2 GB of RAM for a process, it seems a bug related to the surface-mesh entity (when writting to disk maybe enter in an infinite loop, and will require infinite hard disk) In general GiD can have problems to generate a mesh for this surface-mesh entity (a pseudo-surface with the shape of a mesh). It's much better to start if possible from a real CAD model, with NURBS surfaces, not from an STL mesh. Probably the last GiD beta versions (last available now is the 7.7.5b) doesn't have this bug when writting this entity or when assigning sizes. Note: 7.7.5b compilation has as dependency the MSVCR70.dll MicroSoft library that is not installed on all systems (must be inside the winnt/system32 directory). In some days we will provide a new beta version 7.7.6b without this requirement. We recommend users to expect to this 7.7.6b version. Regards Enrique Escolano ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maik Duwensee" <... [GiDlist] (no subject)
Send by: Maik Duwensee Hi Enrique, thanks for clarifying things. Is the missing msvcr70.dll also related to the fact that the 7.7.5b version ignores assigned unstructured mesh sizes? the sizes I assigned to lines and surfaces appear when I use the mesh draw sizes function, but are completely ignored during meshing.

Send by: Enrique Escolano They are not related problems, if you don't have the msvcr70.dll library, GiD can't start (it will appear a message explaining that this dll is missing) This dll can be downloaded for free from some Internet pages, like this http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr70 About the assigned sizes, they are not ignored in 7.7.5b, but in your casethe size assigned to lines is more important that to surfaces or volumes. In your sample 'test.gid' you only assigned sizes to surfaces, but not to lines. GiD uses an advancing-front method, and first are meshed lines as boundary for surfaces. If boundary sizes are bigger, then is not possible to get the internal sizes as smaller as you want (if there is not enought space to decrease sizes, according to the transition paramenter, until the required value). Try to assign size to lines and mesh again. You assigned sizes 0.006, 0.008, 0.01 and 0.02 to the surfaces number 13, 80, 78 and 79. If you calculate the area of this surfaces, you will have about 3.250.000 only for this four surfaces, and you have 76 surfaces more!!. Probably you don't have enougth RAM to generate the whole mesh (also using the related trick to handle until 3GB) You need about 1GB of RAM for each million of elements. Note: you can also create an structured mesh for this surfaces, assigning the number of divisions in each direction, and the element type to triangle. If you have as meshing preference: simmetrical structured triangles, then each square will be divided in four triangles, else only in two triangles.

Send by: Enrique Escolano Next 7.7.6b beta version will be also available for Linux 64 bits (maybe on next week). Unfortunately, with 64bits can theoretically manage a lot of memory, but in practice now there is only available as in your case about 8Gb, or a little more, and to store each pointer you need double space that with 32bits. Concluding if you have only the double of the memory, maybe now GiD require near the double of the memory for the same mesh. 64 bits will be really interesting when machines have much more RAM than now.

You can download beta versions as many times as you want for free. There's
no limitation for the number of dowlnoads. The only limitation is in the

On the other side, the password you have can be used in all 7.xxx versions.

Send by: Miguel Pasenau At your example there is one problem:
If you define the material properties at the centre of your element only
once, which are two values (one for f1, and another for f2) for the whole
element, then ¿how should the material be drawn? At your picture, you draw
the middle element regarding the two other attached elements, purple on the
left half and blue on the right side. ¿How do you choose these orientation?
Because it is also correct to draw it the other way around: blue on the left
half, and purple on the right side, and so, with the three elements you'll
get a purple-blue-purple-blue pattern.
Moreover, it will be also correct to drawn the top half in purple, and the
bottom half in blue, and so on...
At the moment, because GiD until now can not smooth Gaussian results when
doing a contour ranges (it will change shortly), there are two ways to
achieve this: (I send you an example)
I take advantage on the fact that f2 = 1.0 - f1, and I only will use f1.
1 to smooth the elemental properties to the nodes, in your case:
Node 1 = Node 8 = 1.0
Node 4 = Node 5 = 0.0
Node 2 = Node 7 = (1.0 (from element 1) + 0.6 (from element2)) / 2 = 0.8
Node 3 = Node 6 = (0.0 (from element 3) + 0.6 (from element2)) / 2 = 0.3
2 just define a 4 gauss point result for the elements and define the
property as above:
All gauss points result values of element 1 = 1.0
All gauss points result values of element 3 = 0.0
At the gauss points of element 2:
The two closer to element 1 = (1.0 + 0.6) / 2 = 0.8
The two closer to element 3 = (0.0 + 0.6) / 2 = 0.3
3 (when the smoothing of Gaussian results for contour ranges is implemented)
just define the f1 factor at the centre and you'll get it.
I send you enclosed the example and a couple of pictures, hope it helps

[GiDlist] dependencies error message in .cnd file
Send by: Enrique Escolano Hi Mark, Only first 128 (0 to 127 decimal) codes are ASCII characters, 128 to 265 are extensions like ANSI, etc, and their representation can change in different countries. In other hand, If you only expects to read an write the files using the same encoding, it must work without warnings, but it's better to use only until 127 characters, or else use utf-8 encoding (a multi-byte Unicode implementation, where ASCII characters remain unchanged and are stored in a single byte). About the problem with the bas file. What's the bug? If you use some like: *loop elems *operation(ElemsNum-nelem(Linear)-nelem(Tetrahedra)) *end elems And for example do you only have line and tetrahedra elements, then you will obtain ElemsNum is the element number, for example=1,2,...45 nelem(Linear) is the number or line elements, for example=5 nelem(Tetrahedra) is the number of tetrahedra elements, for example =40, Then you must obtain usually negative numbers: 1-5-40 = -45 !! Maybe your problem is related to the white spaces between numbers, there is some small change between versions. About the warning when reading a last model with previous GiD versions, this is because they are some news that require small changes in the database (for example strings are stored in utf-8 format, and maybe some meshing data also changed, to use semi-structured meshes, etc). And old version can't know this changes, and it appear your related warning about possible incompatibilities, but it's also possible that can be read without problems if there were not used this last features. In the Files Save dialog window, you can also select "Old GiD project 7", then this new features are disregarded, and the file has exactly the old format.

Note: The GiD localaxes of GiD can be printed to the calculation file with this template commands: a.. *LocalAxesDef. This command returns the nine numbers that define the transformation matrix of a vector from the local axes system to the global one. Example: *loop localaxes *format "%10.4lg %10.4lg %10.4lg" x'=*LocalAxesDef(1) *LocalAxesDef(4) *LocalAxesDef(7) *format "%10.4lg %10.4lg %10.4lg" y'=*LocalAxesDef(2) *LocalAxesDef(5) *LocalAxesDef(8) *format "%10.4lg %10.4lg %10.4lg" z'=*LocalAxesDef(3) *LocalAxesDef(6) *LocalAxesDef(9) *end localaxes a.. *LocalAxesDef(EulerAngles).

Send by: Mark Smith Hi Miguel No this isn't what I want but thanks for the tip. See the attached model. I wish to show in the post-processor all the edges that appear in the pre-processor model without having to show the mesh. When you do a line graph you have to pick out the start & end point of the line & only those nodes which lie on this line are actually plotted, or this is how it seems to me, maybe line graph still doesn't work properly or as I think it should work? The lines I'm interested in actually lie on the surface. it would be nice to be able to select a line/curve (one that exists in the pre-processor model) & see how the results vary along it? In other packages I actually put features in the model so I can do exactly this as it makes extracting data along a contour easier if it has been pre-defined. regards mark -----Original Message----- From: Miguel Pasenau [mailto:...

I was able to create volume in gid and I was also able to mesh pieces of this tree with tetrahedral elements. However, for some pieces, I was not able to create an unstructured mesh.

Do you have some tips how to deal with this problem? THanks a lot! Best! TImon [GiDlist] Problems with meshing
Send by: Enrique Escolano Unfortunately a STL mesh is usually a bad source in order to be meshed: it can have bad shape triangles, self-intersections, sharped edges, etc. It's much better having a true CAD model, with smooth surfaces, but probably you can't have this kind of model. Maybe you can manually delete some problematic "surf-mesh" entities (created when importing the stl as "Surface mesh"), and create new surfaces from boundary curves. It exists also a hidden option to generate a volume mesh from a boundary triangle mesh. escape escape escape Meshing MeshFromBoundary and select the boundary triangles (must have all normals pointing inside I think) In similar cases, it was succesful to import the stl mesh, and apply an "edge collapse" with the appropiated tolerance to delete small triangles and smooth bad shaped ones. Then try to use this modified mesh to create surf-mesh entities or try to directly generate the volume mesh from this boundary (if it close a volume) Regards Enrique Escolano ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timon Rabczuk" <...

Send by: Martin Meiler Hello, you already mentioned all i would like to to be able of within postprocessing. A first step could be to display results with logarithmic axes. Right now we have the following problem. We have been simulating the distribution of an acoustic wave through a certain material. The losses caused by this material are very high. So right now i can see the reflected waves returning from the surface of this material, but i can not recognize any acoustic wave on the other side of the material. If i set the limits manually, i can see the wave distribution on the other side of the media. I could see both results if there was a possiblity to use logarithmic scaling of the axes or better the contour fill legend. Another nice thing would be to be able to perform some kind of mathematical operation on the results, i.e. calculate the absolute value of the result.

I would like to import a post.mesh-File with a Volume-Mesh of Tetrahedras
and a Surface-mesh which consists of Triangles.
It works only when I delete the Volumes an there are only the Triangles, but
I need both.
The error message from GiD 7.7.5 is

Send by: Nico Gödel Dear Enrique, Thank you very much for your fast answer. The enumeration of my Elements was definitely false, but that didn´t solve the problem. GiD 7.7.5b is still giving me the error message Reading mesh in linenode 0 out of range: 0 not in [ 1, 8081] node 0 out of range. There is no node listed with 0 in my mesh, not in the Triangle- and not in the Tetrahedra-List. Even when I delete the second mesh with the Triangle-Elements, the import isn´t working. But when I delete the tetrahedras, it works. I hope you´ll get an answer for my question, i´m working for my diploma thesis and there isn´t much time left. Thank in advance and greetings from Hamburg to Barcelona, Nico Gödel. _____ Von: ... [GiDlist] post.mesh Import
Send by: Miguel Pasenau Hello, Following the message, it seems to me that in the connectivities of the tetrahedra there is a node with number ‘0’. It is strange that in the message does not appear the number of the line where the problem lies, normally it only happens when a binary file is read, but not for ascii meshes. Another problem that I see is that you are giving the same element numbers to tetrahedra and triangles, it’s better to give them different numbers, because when You read them in GiD and you want to see element number 1, which one should be picked: ¿the tetrahedron or the triangle? ¿can you send me the file to take a closer look? miguel _____ De: ...

Send by: Enrique Escolano In order to do thinks like this, we provide a tcl procedure: GiD_DataBehaviour , to be called from your problem type.
Read Help about Tcl/Tk extension->Custom Data windows->Data Windows Behaviour:
Data Windows Behaviour
In this subsection we explain a tcl procedure used to configure the common behaviour of Materials. We are working in providing a similar functionality for Conditions using the same interface.
GiD_DataBehaviour controls properties of data windows for Materials and Conditions (not currently implemented). For Materials we can modify the behaviour of assign, draw, unassign, impexp (import/export), new, modify and delete. We can also specify the entity type list in assign option throught the subcommands geomlist and meshlist.
The syntax of the procedure is as follow:
GiD_DataBehaviour data_class name ?cmd? proplist
where,
a.. data_class could be: "material" if we want to modify the behaviour of a particular material or "materials" if a whole book must be modified.
b.. name depending on the value of data_class the argument name takes the value of a material's name or a book's name.
c.. cmd can take one of the values: show, hide, disable, geomlist and meshlist.
d.. proplist is a list of options or entity type. When cmd is show, hide or disable then proplist could be a subset of {assign draw unassign impexp new modify delete}. If cmd is show it makes the option visible, if the value is hide then the option is not visible and when the value is disable then the option is visible but unavailable. When cmd if geomlist then then property list can take a subset of {points lines surfaces volumes} defining the entities that can get the material assigned when in geometry mode, if the value of cmd is meshlist then proplist can take the value elements. Take into account that only elements can gets a material assigned in mesh mode. If cmd is not provided we obtain as a result the corresponding state for each of the items provided in proplist.
Example:
GiD_DataBehaviour materials Table geomlist {surfaces volumes}
GiD_DataBehaviour materials Solid hide {delete impexp}

[GiDlist] GiD crashes in batch mode
Send by: José Pereda Llamas Hello,
I use to run GiD in batch mode, trough command line. With Gid 7.2 I'm
successful launching problems such as "c:<gid directory>gid.exe -b
batchfile.bat -n problem.gid".
Now I try to use the new beta version 7.7.6b and GiD crashes, giving the
typical windows message of "GiD has detected a problem and should be
closed".
I even try launching GiD alone ("c:<gid directory>gid.exe"), and it
also crashes.
Any idea of what could be the problem?
My OS is windows XP.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Can you start GiD 7.7.6 from the direct access icon? Can you then read this batch? Try to remove the -n flag I don't have any idea about this problem, maybe must change before to the GiD directory, or there is some problem with spaces in the names. Today we will made available for download the 7.7.7b beta, maybe this problem doesn't appear with this version.

i have one proposal for GiD in post-processing mode.
When using the "View Results" window, you can select to view a deformed

But if i change the result step the displayed result gets out of sync.
The question is if there is a possibility to syncronize the result step
in the "View Results" and in the "Main Mesh" tab of the "View Results"
window to get proper results.

Send by: Enrique Escolano You are right, the 7.7.7b will be the last 7.x beta. 8.0c is really very similar to 7.7.7 (is only from a month ago), but has a lot of differences with the official 7.2 version (released more than tree years ago), and it require a new licence system.

Send by: lu hu hi GID team,
I'm using GID to generate 3-D meshes right now. I want to mesh a
structured volume like a simple cube with hexahedra element. The problem
is, after meshing the calculated result projecname.dat shows the number of
grid elements was 0 which results in a failure in my subsequent
application. However, the grid number for default meshing with tetrahedral
element is not 0. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Regards.
Hu X.R.
P.S. I have tried two ways to generate the cube: by creating an prism
object with 4 edges or by creating a bottom plane with pre-created 4 points
and copy this plane to the top and form a cube.

Cuando esté disponible la version 8.0 release oficial publicaremos los precios en la web. Inicialmente por ejemplo la actualización via internet de la versión 7 a la 8 valdrá 139 euros para organizaciones educativas, y 395 euros para el resto. Acerca del traslado de licencia de un ordenador a otro, en principio la licencia normal es para un ordenador concreto, y no puede moverse a otro, pero usualmente si a un usuario se le estropea la máquina o se cambia a otra más moderna, contactando con nosotros le proporcionamos otro password. Para la versión 8 también estará disponible la licencia para un "memory stick USB". De este modo se puede usar GiD en distintas máquinas (en la que esté conectada la memoria). Las máquinas pueden tener incluso distinto sistema operativo Windows/Linux.

De este modo ya no te saldrá el error del spd. Sin código tcl se siguen cargando las definiciones de los ficheros de configuración básica: .cnd, .prb, .mat, .sym, .bas, .bat Para modificar la escritura de los hexahedros, puedes modificar el fichero de plantilla stampack520.bas Por ejemplo, en vez de *elemsConec que escribe todas las conectividades del elemento (8 en este caso de hexaedro) puede escribirlas una a una dandole el indice *Loopvar(elems)*elemsmat()*elemsConec *Loopvar(elems)*elemsmat() *elemsConec(1) *elemsConec(2) *elemsConec(3) *elemsConec(4) * *elemsConec(5) *elemsConec(6) *elemsConec(7) *elemsConec(8) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Juan Carlos Monroy" <...

(like the pink part crossing the blue part) You must to modify the geometric model in order to avoid this zero or near zero thickness parts. (splitting surfaces to share some parts) Also the scale of your model is a little small (all coordinates near 1e-4) , it's better to scale the model to be near 1 (to decrease numerical errors, and problems with some tolerances I attach your model reconstructing curves, and surfaces.

Al seleccionar mi problem type, necesito "listar" las entidades definidas en una geometria determinada (que actualmente esta en pantalla de GiD) y de acuerdo a las entidades seleccionadas por el usuario, realizar diferentes acciones. Se que Gid dispone en el menú Utilities/List, la posibilidad de proporcionar informacion de las entidades previamente seleccionadas. Estuve leyendo algunos archivos tcl en la carpeta scripts, como ListEntities.tcl, donde se define la ventana que aparece al seleccionar la opcion del menu, y otros comandos más. Dentro de mi archivo tcl escribo lo siguiente: set ent "Lines" .central.s process SelectEntities $ent Con esta instrucción, en la barra inferior donde se registra las acciones realizadas (sobre la barra de comandos), me aparece la siguiente informacion: "Enter Lines to assign to list" De esta manera selecciono las lineas de interés. Me indica que agrega cada una, y al presionar ESC, me indica la cantidad de lineas (en este caso) han sido listadas o seleccionadas. Ahora mi pregunta es: como puedo almacenar dichos números de líneas en alguna variable (ej: líneas 1,2,5,8) , y de esta manera poder acceder a dicha informacion para posteriormente realizar algun tipo de actividad como devovler informacion que me interesa u otra cosa.

This second Release Candidate (available now for download) include several corrections like this. About the other question, now It's not possible to split elements based on a background mesh, but you can use the standar selection mechanism, using some filter to select only some triangles (big triangles, or bad shaped, etc). Maybe we can add this feature for future versions.

Thanks for the mail. Concerning the two points I had posted:
1) You can take ANY GiD generated drawing and export it as IGES/DXF. The
GiD gets terminated with an error message:
"The command "0x0068f8fa" referrs to memory "0x00000038". The
command "read" could not be executed"
2) You can open any GiD project and press post.-processing button. It
reads "..post.res" data. If you visualize/animate the data,
and THEN press pre-processing button, the "post-processing" menu does
not change at all.
Further, in post-processing menu, AFTER visualization, if you want to
change, for example number of contour colors or any other menu, nothing
happens, you have to literally close Gid and restart to set any menu item.
I have used previous GiD versions, so I think, that in this version there
is some bug.
Thanks

Send by: Enrique Escolano Hello, Your spheres are intesecting other volume boundaries, then it's necessary to create all intersections between surfaces. and create the volumes with the new boundaries. If you only have two volumes, can try to use the volume boolean operations to substract the sphere to the other volume. Geometry->Edit->Volume boolean operation->Substract But this operation is not available for to substact a group of volumes (your spheres) from another group of volumes. If a volume is completelly inside other volume, can convert in a hole of this other volume with Geometry->Create->Volume->Hole (this operation is faster and more stable than boolean operations because it's not necessary to calculate intersections) Regards Enrique Escolano ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amancherla, Sundar (GE, Research)" <...

[GiDlist] Parametric surfaces
Send by: Enrique Escolano The parametric surface tool create an approximated interpolated surface, and there is some problem with degenerated curves.
I recommend you to create only half ellipse, and revolve it to create the elllipsoid
1- create half ellipse: You can use the "parametric line tool" (it creates only an interpolated line, but the interpolation can be very close to the mathematical shape)
create the curve v=constant =pi/2 , with parameter u from -pi/2 to pi/2
x(t)=2*sin(t)*cos(1.570796327)
y(t)=sin(t)*sin(1.570796327)
z(t)=2*cos(t)
t= -1.570796327 to 1.570796327
2 - create the surface by revolution with extrusion: Utilities->Copy ,
Entities: lines
Transformation: rotation
Angle: 180 º
Axe points: the ends of the curve to revolve
Do extrude: surface
Multiples copies: 2
Note 1: This revolution is not an approximation, is matematically exact
Note 2: in order to be meshed it's better to create two surfaces (2 copies of 180º) instead a single one (1 copy of 360º)
You can also obtain a matematically exact ellipsoid creating an sphere with radius=2, and then apply an scale transformation (Utilities->Move) with factors ex=ez=1.0 , ey=0.5

So we began to write a programm which transfers the Atena results in GiD flavia.msh and flavia.res files. My question: Has somebody already done programming for an Atena-GiD interface like this or is interested in sharing our programms? Thanks, Sören Schwarz ... [GiDlist] ATENA - GiD Interface
Send by: Miguel Pasenau Hello, I didn't hear about anyone who has done some work on Atena-GiD, sorry. But for writing the postprocessing files ( '.post.msh' and '.post.res') you can also use the 'gidpost' library, which has an interface for fortran too.

[GiDlist] numbering nodes and elements
Send by: rafadoig at hiroshima-u.ac.jp Hello everybody, does anyone know how to teach GiD-Pre the way of numbering nodes and elements? I would like to have following order for nodes and element: ascending from left to right, from bottom to top Thank you in advance for any hint Rafael [GiDlist] numbering nodes and elements
Send by: Enrique Escolano Hello, The elements are numbered following the creation order. The nodes are usually automatically renumbered after generate the mesh, in order to have a 'low halfband' (maximum difference between node numbers of each element) It's not possible to directly obtain your required oreder 'ascending from left to right, from bottom to top'. In fact, usually elements faces are not parallel to the coordinates axis. You can renumber the mesh inside your own code, or call an auxiliary procedure/program to do this.

Send by: Johane Bracamonte Hello, I would like to process a mesh generated by GID in a fortran routine, but when i export the mesh to a GID mesh format (.msh) there are integer numbers instead of real numbers in some nodes ( for example the coordinates shown in the file are 5 4.625 0 instead of 5.0 4.625 0.0), i understand this can be problematic. When i try to export in a Nastran format the second coordinate it`s attached to the symbols *G, so i have to depurate de info of the mesh, also when i export to Nastran format GID dont translate quadratic elements. My questions are: 1) How can i generate a mesh data with only real numbers in a GID mesh file or any file? 2) There is a way in wich the GID translate quadratic elements to nastran format files? 3) Can GID put the three coordinates of a node in one line when i export the mesh to a Nastran format file?

Send by: Enrique Escolano Hello, I think that i must not be very difficul to read in FORTRAN this real numbers without the dot, probably the best option is to change your code. Which FORTRAN format do you use to read it? When using NASTRAN format, it has fixed width fields (8 or 16 character fields), then you can know where begin and end each number. You probably are using the simple NASTRAN template to export the mesh. You can donwnload (from the Data->Problemtype->Internet retrieve) the NASTRAN 3.2 problemtype, in order to use much more NASTRAN features (materials, conditions, etc) Note: this problemtype is a good interface between GiD an NASTRAN, but it not includes the NASTRAN solver. In any case, you can easily write a simple template to export the mesh in your desired format, this is a very simple example: *realformat "%15.9g" *intformat "%8i" NODES *loop nodes *nodesnum *nodescoord *end nodes ELEMENTS *loop elems *elemsnum *elemsconec *end elems You can copy the previous code in a file inside the /templates GiD directory, with extension ".bas", for example "test.bas" and then you can export the mesh from the menu Files->Export->Using template .bas->test You can read the GiD help about customization, template file to know the valid commands in a .bas GiD template file.

[GiDlist] entities in two conditions
Send by: Enrique Escolano A possibility is to define a single conditions instead two, with the requiered common fields: degrees of freedom and mass properties. Other option is to call a *tcl procedure. This procedure can ask GiD to get the conditions information, and manipulate it to return what you want to be printed to the calculation file. I recommend you the first option, because it will be much more efficient, specially if you work with a lot of nodes.

You can define the condition in the .cnd file as CANREPEAT: yes (read GiD help about the .cnd conditions file syntax) Then the user can assign the same condition more than once to the same entity, (by default a condition is canrepeat: no, and when the user assing this condition to an entity, it replaces a previous condition) Enrique ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrea Mordini" <mordini at vce.at> To: <gidlist at gatxan.cimne.upc.edu> Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 11:52 AM Subject: Re: [GiDlist] entities in two conditions >...

[GiDlist] entities in two conditions
Send by: Enrique Escolano Sorry by my previous anser, I think that you can do what you want by using *Set cond, and then *Add cond commands
*Set Cond Degree_of_Freedom *nodes
*Add Cond Cond Node_mass *nodes
*loop nodes *OnlyInCond
*if(Cond(DoF,int)==2)
node *NodesNum *NodesCoord *cond2(1,real) *cond2(2,real)
*endif
*end nodes
Off course, both conditions must have the common referenced fields (DoF, etc)
By default the entities can't be repeated: If the conditions are applied over the same node, the last condition overwrite the previous one.
It's possible to use the *CanRepeat modifier to accept an entity several times in the list:
*Set Cond Degree_of_Freedom *nodes *CanRepeat
*Add Cond Cond Node_mass *nodes *CanRepeat
*loop nodes *OnlyInCond
*if(Cond(DoF,int)==2)
node *NodesNum *NodesCoord *cond2(1,real) *cond2(2,real)
*endif
*end nodes
Note: I recomment you to avoid to use the index number of a condition number, it's better to use its question name (else, if you modify the condition definition, and insert new fields the index will change and to update the bas file can be expensive)

Enrique Escolano

[GiDlist] grid lines
Send by: Sebastian Lambeck Hi, I am wondering, if GID7.4 can show grid lines which tell the position in two dimension within a contour plot. More specificly, I have a 3-dimensional contour plot which shows a figure in its undeformed configuration in the x-y-plane (rotate->plane XY) . This basically presents a cross section of my figure. Now, it would be of interest to see, how this cross-section lays in a x-y-plotting domain x = [0,10] and y = [0,10] and e.g. what approximate deformation at a certain position (x,y) is displayed. For this grid lines would be very helpful which are drawn, let's say with a distance of 1 in both coordinate directions. Especially, if two different results written as bitmaps have to be compared, it is quite a tricky task without grid lines - you would need to use ruler.

[GiDlist] contour fill gid 8
Send by: Miguel Pasenau Hi, As i see in the file ‘mesh.msh’ you have defined a mesh of 6 noded triangles and another one of 3 linear elements. But in the file ‘test.flavia.res’ you have defined the ‘displacement’ result only for some nodes, and, exactly only on the vertices of the triangles as you can see on ‘LabelResults.png’. GiD only draws the contour fill on those triangles in which all the nodes have results values, and in this case, as only on three nodes, out of six, are the results values of ‘displacements’ defined. So GiD draws nothing. But you can circumvent this by choosing how the quadratic triangles are drawn: 1. go to the preferences window and select the ‘Graphical’ panel 2. look for the label ‘Draw quadratic elements’ 3. select ‘No’ in the combobox (there are three options: No / As lines / as curves which tells GiD how to draw the triangle and its edges) 4. press the ‘Accept’ button. And you’ll get your Contour Fill, as the picture ‘ContourFill.png’ shows. You could see the contour fill in some previous versions of GiD 7 because the quadratic elements were not fully supported.

[GiDlist] fixed color lines in postprocess
Send by: Aldo Ghisi Hello all, we need to visualize internal grain boundaries in a 2D-solid mesh. These lines are necessary only to divide the domains, each domain is made up with a lot of elements. At the present, we use six-noded triangles mixed with three-noded lines (just dummy elements). When countour fill is required, the lines assume the color of nodes: even if we split the nodes at the interface, then we impose a constant value, the color is always linked to the current color bar (legend), so basically the lines become indistinguishable from the bulk. Mind that the mesh is moving and deforming, so each time step this background mesh has to move. So, the question is: can we create (at least) two different color bars for (at least) two different element sets in the same plot? Or are there different strategies to solve the problem? Thank you in advance and best regards. Aldo Ghisi and Fabrizio Cacchione ... [GiDlist] fixed color lines in postprocess
Send by: Miguel Pasenau Hello, As far as i understand you have lines inside of your triangle mesh and want to view them when you are doing a Contour Fill, and, by now, these lines are hidden, i.e. you can not distinguish them because they are drawn with the same colour as the areas of the contour fill. No, you can not create to colour maps for the different element sets. If you select de 'body lines' display style you'll see the line elements, the problem is that you'll see also de edges of the triangles. And using the 'body boundaries' as display style, together with the line elements you'll also get the boundaries of the triangle mesh. (one idea we want to implement is the independent selection of the 'display style' property for each separated element set, and in this way you can visualize de 'lines' of the line-set and the 'body' of the triangle-set) You can also play with the line options which appear in the window 'Options-->Geometry-->Line options'. If you select the nice radiobutton, choose a line size of 2, 3, 4 or greter, and press de apply button, you will see your lines drawn as thick 'tubes' (don't forget to select a 'Render-->Flat' or 'Render-->Smooth' visualization). Another way is this: 1. switch off your triangle-set and let only your line-set on. 2. select the 'lines', 'boundaries' or 'body with lines' display style for the lines (if you want to see the black lines) 3. Open the Window-->'View results' window and select the 'reference mesh' panel 4. select the 'Original' radiobutton 5. if you are not happy with the colour of your line-set (for instance, the colour is one of the colour map used to draw the contour fill and so it can be difficult to distinguish the lines) check the 'Use this colour' checkbutton and choose a colour pressing the coloured button 6. press Apply and close the window With this, what you have done is to create a copy of the lines which will not be affected by the contour fill. Now you can: 6. switch the triangle mesh on 7. do your contour fill There is another way, but a bit complicated: If you know the maximum/minimum value of the result ( for instance temperature values never can be below 0 (don't laugh)), you can write a result value for the nodes of the lines out of the scale of the normal values you have for your triangles (for instance, 10e+38 or -10e+38 for all line nodes). Then set de maximum/minimum limit of the colour scale with Options->contour->'max/min options'->'set value' (or the appropriate icon) to the known maximum/minimum. With Options->contour->'max/min options'->'out max/min colour' you can select how these values, which will lie outside the scale, will be drawn, for instance black. And now you can do the contour fill. You'll get black lines over the contour fill of your triangles, because as the node values of the lines are out of scale, they will be drawn black. miguel -----Mensaje original----- De: ...

[GiDlist] failing to mesh tutorial problem
Send by: Gerard Gorman Hi GID 8.0.2 appears to be failing on some of the tutorial problems - take for example the "Preprocess Tutorial 2", meshing the cooling pipe. I have left out the T-junction - see the attached figure. I have experimented many different errors tolerances, mesh sizes, and tried subdividing the volume up into 4 parts rather than just a single volume but nothing has worked for me. The error message "Failed find close faces to new node" is typical and, as can been seen in the figure, the node signaled is outside the domain. Is anyone else experienced similar problems with this version? Is this a bug or am I being silly? I've tested this on 32bit Linux version 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 (...

Send by: Abel Coll Hi Gerard,
We have checked the tutorial using the 8.0.2 version and it seems to work
fine. Have you downloaded the spanish or the english version of the
tutorial? If you are using the spanish version it is possible that some
problems appear, because this tutorials are too old.
The tutorials which have all the updates available in version 8.x.x are the
english ones.
We will get out from the web the spanish version until it will be updated.
Thank you for notifying us this behaviour.

[GiDlist] failing to mesh tutorial problem
Send by: Gerard Gorman Hi Abel Thanks for your reply. I am using the Linux 32 bit version of GID. I accessed the tutorial through the Help drop down menu. I am still confused. Using both Utilities->Repair Model and creating volumes, GID appears to think the geometry is fine. And I have no problem creating a nice surface mesh. I just cannot mesh the volume (e.g. using a chordal error of 0.1 and a max element size of 5) - I keeping getting spurious errors as illustrated in my first email. Is it the case that I have managed to create a subtly different geometry than that in the tutorial that cannot be meshed. I am a GID newbie, so if it's clear that I didn't read such-and-such a section of the manual then I'm happy to be told to RTFM the relevent section. I had trying to get up and running just by working through the tutorials. Cheers Gerard Abel Coll wrote: >... [GiDlist] failing to mesh tutorial problem

[GiDlist] failing to mesh tutorial problem
Send by: Enrique Escolano You are right, There are some small differences between the tutorial included in GiD and the user manual or downloaded tutorials. When creating the end of the pipe, to create the top surface, the included manual say something like: Choose Geometry->Create->Planar Surface and select the four lines that define the opening of the pipe And the other manuals use: Geometry->Create->NURBS Surface->By Contour In fact with the last GiD versions planar surfaces are harly ever used (are sustituted by NURBS) Only is possible to create planar surfaces from the right buttons or by writting in the command line.

[GiDlist] Disable/Enable menus
Send by: José Carlos UFMG/Brazil Dear friends,
I am using GID as graphical pre/pos-processor in the subject of my Doctor Thesis (UFMG-Brazil). So, I have a problem:
I create some menus using TclTk in InitGIDProject procedure, like shown below:
GidAddUserDataOptions "Análise mecânica" "GidOpenProblemData {Analise mecanica}" 6
At some time, depending on some configurations in DataProblem window, I need that menu (created above) has to be disabled (or enabled again) to avoid inconsistents possibilities on modeling. How can I do that?
I tried to use RemoveMenuOption / GidAddUserDataOptions, but it doesn't work in runtime (i.e. in procedures differents of InitGIDProject).
Thanks a lot.

Send by: Smith, Mark Hi GiD team I'm very pleased with the surface modelling ability of gid but (there is always a but) I would like to suggest a feature that I would find very useful & hopefully you might think of developing it for future releases? I would like to impose a tangency condition where 2 surfaces meet/intersect. This is difficult to do manually as it requires the surfaces to be deleted the common edge to be modified & then the surfaces redefined. I'd like to select the surfaces and define a radius which blend 1 surface into the other. Maybe this should be possible using the tools:right buttons:geometry:edit:tangentnurbsSurface but most of the time gid crashes & exits without warning! Can you explain the use of the enter maximum angle to accept tangents? I'm using gid7.7.7b, is this fixed in version 8? Thanks in advance.

[GiDlist] How to disable/enable menus in runtime

This is a sample for GiD 8.x, because I'm using procedures like GiDMenu::*
(this menu procedures are already undocummented. See contents of the file /scripts/dev_kit.tcl of GiD)
Sample use:
test_create_menu
test_set_menu_state MyMenu MyOption disabled
or
test_set_menu_state MyMenu MyOption normal
#create a menu "MyMenu" and add an item "Myoption"
proc test_create_menu { } {
set menu_name MyMenu
set option_name MyOption
GiDMenu::Create $menu_name PRE
GiDMenu::InsertOption $menu_name $option_name 0 PRE [list WarnWin $option_name]
GiDMenu::UpdateMenus
}
#modify the menu state to "disabled" or "normal"
#sample use: test_set_menu_state "My Menu" "My option"
proc test_set_menu_state { menu_name option_name state } {
set i [GiDMenu::_FindIndex $menu_name PRE]
if { $i == -1 } return
set w .gid.menu
set top [winfo toplevel $w]
if { $top != ".gid" } {
set t $top
} else {
set t ""
}
set menuname $t.mm1.button$i
set position [lindex [split [GiDMenu::_FindOptionIndex $i $option_name PRE] ,] end]
if { $position != -1 } {
if { $state == "disabled" } {
ChangeMenuForegroundColor $menuname $position $::GidPriv(Color,DisabledForegroundMenu)
} else {
ChangeMenuForegroundColor $menuname $position "black"
}
$menuname entryconfigure $position -state $state

[GiDlist] Problem: parallel lines
Send by: Daniel Pollig Hi! I want to make a 3D model of a pig. I use 2D CT scans to portray thorax, lung, ... with NURBS lines. Every scan is moved to a special z coordinate. Then I want to use the "parallel lines" command to make NURBS surfaces out of the NURBS lines which are obviously parallel. The command always finishs with "Failed". I also tried it with normal lines and polylines but it doesn't do it. Is there perhaps a bug in this function or do I have to do something special with the lines before(make the same number of knots at each line) ? I tried many things yet but nothing helps. Thanks.

As an alternative to creating the model with GiD, you can
create the model in a CAD like Rhino:

create the surfaces, and import them into GiD in order to
generate the mesh.

Send by: Enrique Escolano The group of lines of a surface to be created "by parallel lines" must be a group of "open" curves
You have several "closed" surfaces: the outer and inner cylinder walls, and the inner holes.
In order to create your required surfaces with GiD my advice is:
1 - Repair your model (utilities repair),
2 - Delete unused points (geometry delete points - select all points)
3 - Divide all closed curves in two parts (geometry-edit-divide-lines-numdivisions 2 and select all lines)
4 - Force neighbor lines to be tangents in the commo point. (geometry-edit-lines operations-force to be tangent-45 º - select all lines)
5 - Try to create semi-cilindric surfaces by paralel lines
5.1 - Divide each "pseudo-circumference" to have near begin-end points in the group of lines that define each semi-cylinder:
(geometry-edit-divide-lines-near point- select a point and select the line to divide)
5.2 - Remove points joining lines where are undesired
(gemetry-edit-collapse points - select the points)
5.3 - Create Surfaces by parallel lines (geometry-create-NURBS surface-parallel lines and select the group of lines)
I attach your model doing this process for some surfaces, but there is a several inner holes surfaces to do.
I attach also an image of my modified GiD model
Note: some inner holes can intersect with the external boundary surfaces: the gray pipe intersect the blue surface !!

[GiDlist] airfoil mesh
Send by: Benjamin Sanderse Hello all, I just started some time ago meshing with GiD. I just have a simple airfoil (2D) in a circular domain. I want GiD to create a C or O-grid for my geometry. I tried several possibilities, but I could not find a way to generate a good airfoil mesh. My mesh is always very refined at the leading and trailing edge, but misses refinement near the surface and in the wake. As wing and airfoil meshing must be a common practice I am wondering if anybody could help me with this. For convenience I attached my geometry as .gid file.

In relation with the quality of the elements, if your meshes are obtained
using Rfast mesher, you can set Rsurf mesher (in

better.

Send by: Enrique Escolano As said the error message: "Quadrilaterals cannot be meshed. All contour lines must have an even number of sides" You musn't assing an uneven number of divisions to the structured sides (when are connected to the unstructured quadrilaterals). This is because a subdivision algorithm is used for unstructured quadrilaterals, then the number of subdivisions of its boundary lines must be multiple of 2. If you don't assign manually the number of divisions, GiD automatically generate an even number of sides for neighbor entities. In any case, unstructured quadrilaterals generated by GiD, in general, doesn't have high shape quality. It's more recommended to use unstructured triangles.

[GiDlist] Two layers assembled
Send by: Isabel Gil Hello Gid's users, I have a question about how I must work when I have two different layers but which are assembled. I must say that is a simple case in order to know the proper way to work. I create the first layer (a 3D cube) and I create its volume, as it is said in Gid manual. Later, I create the second layer which is another 3D cube and, again, I create its volume. When I show these two layers and I mesh it, the face shared by the two cubes contains the double of nodes (ones for the first layer and others for the second one). What I really want to get is to have only a series of nodes in that face. I am doing something wrong so, could you give me any advice? Thanks in advance and best regards Isa ... [GiDlist] Two layers assembled
Send by: Julian Mindel Hi Isabel,
I am not a GiD developer, but my guess is you might have
duplicated entities, meaning each volume has its own face even though
they should be sharing one. When GiD meshes the volumes, it doesnt
"see" the sharing of the face, and therefore creates two independent
meshes. My idea would be to try and collapse the model (Utilities ->
Collapse) and then try meshing again. This should solve the problem and
really make the volumes share the face. Tell me if it works.
Best wishes,
Julian

[GiDlist] Two layers assembled
Send by: Isabel Gil Hi Julian, First of all thank-you very much for your answer, it has worked properly. Thank-you very much. Now, the two volumes share the face and I get the right number of nodes. But now I have a new problem: I can find the command (Utilities->Collapse) in version 7.2 for Windows but I cannot find this command in version 8.0.2 for Windows, could you say to me where it is?, perhaps it is called in another way and I am not able to find it in the new version. I must use version 8.0.2 instead of 7.2 because the former allows me to use the semistructured volume in order to do the mesh and version 7.2 only permits to mesh volumes in a structured mode if I use hexahedra elements, which are the only ones I can use because my computational program only deals with them.

Send by: Martin Meiler Hi Franco, this bug occours in gid 7.7.7b as well as in your gid8 release. The problem seems to be, that the point nr. overrides the coordinates, that you enter. This is for sure a bug since the point number should be deleted whenever a coordinate has changed, since then the point definition does not match the given coordinates any more. So your procedure is a good workaround for this bug. I always set point 1 to 0,0,0 and enter the direction to which to copy or move the refering entity by point 2 definition. This works best for me. best regards Martin Franco Giuggioloni wrote: > Hello , I have this question since you are taking about Copy and Paste ... [GiDlist] does anyone has this problem in Gid 8?
Send by: Smith, Mark I think you'll find it does in 7.7.7b , if you don't erase the point id number but just change the coordinates nothing seems to happen and the coordinates revert to the point with that id. I'd like to see improvements to 1) copy & move rotate where instead of defining the angle you define the rotation axis and a start & end position for one point. 2) When generating a circle you have to specify a radius & cannot just select an existing point for the circle to go throuh, 3) generating an arc by selecting 2 end points and a radius. 4) generate a line at a tangent to a curve at a point of a given length. You can do all these thing in a round about manner but it would be nice to do it easily I've also noticed that sometimes when I select to view the right button tool bars the working space grays out & noting I do can bring it back so I have to shut down & start again?

You can also declare an error file that your program can fill with some information if something is wrong during the calculation, then GiD will show this message error. rem ErrorFile: %2\%1.err Read GiD help about customization, Executing an external process. Note 1: if your program is not able to write this "process information" to a file, can redirect its standard output to a file with ">" %3yoursolver.exe %1.dat > %2\%1.err but the operating system probably don't fill this file until the process finish.

Send by: Miguel Pasenau Hello, The Word Flavia is not a spanish Word. It comes from a previous developed postprocessor, prior to GiD. The word stands for FLuid Analyzer and VIsuAlizer. This program was developed in fortran on silicon graphics using the graphics library PHIGS. Then it was written in C, ported to Linux, Sun, HP, ms-dos and ms windows 3.11, and used the graphics library GL on silicon graphics (which, after a couple of years, became OpenGL) and VOGL (Very Ordinary Graphics Library written by Eric H. Echidna) for the rest. The name changed to SOLAVIA: SOLid Analizer and VIsuAlizer. Initially the postprocess file format accepted by GiD was the same of Flavia and Solavia, and therefore the extension .flavia.msh and .flavia.res. Afterwards these extensions were changed to the more general .post.msh and .post.res, but for backward compatibility both are accepted. Flavia, feminine of Flavio, are Latin and Italian forenames too. Best regards Miguel -----Mensaje original----- De: ... [GiDlist] What is the word "flavia"?

[GiDlist] node numbering
Send by: Enrique Escolano You can't directly force this node's order in GiD, but you can assign some condition to mark the boundary nodes .
For example define in your problemtype some condition to be applied on 3D models over surfaces in geometry,
and transfered over nodes in the mesh.
Then you can write your calculation file as you need with the .bas file
Read GiD help about customization.
Anoter trick is to use the 'AfterMeshGeneration' Tcl-event, automatically raised from GiD when generating a mesh.
You problemtype can define this Tcl procedure, with this prototype:
proc AfterMeshGeneration { fail } {
...body...
}
Then you can write a GiD ASCII mesh file, with your own node numeration,and read it again instead the current mesh.
To ask GiD from tcl you must use the GiD_Info Tcl command, like this:
set nodes [GiD_Info mesh Nodes]
set tetraedra [GiD_Info mesh Elements Tetrahedra]

[GiDlist] Two assembled faces but with different number of nodes
Send by: Isabel Gil Hello Gid's users, Some days ago, I made the following question: "*I have a question about how I must work when I have two different layers but which are assembled. I must say that is a simple case in order to know the proper way to work. I create the first layer (a 3D cube) and I create its volume, as it is said in Gid manual. Later, I create the second layer which is another 3D cube and, again, I create its volume. When I show these two layers and I mesh it, the face shared by the two cubes contains the double of nodes (ones for the first layer and others for the second one). What I really want to get is to have only a series of nodes in that face*." Julian advised me to use (Utilities->collapse) and I got my aim. But now, I would like to obtain another different goal. I would be very grateful if you could help me. I want the face of the first volume (which is on the first layer) to have the double number of nodes than the face of the second volume (which is on the second layer) but that the name of nodes that both faces share, fit in. Perhaps if I show some pictures, I can make easier what I want to say: Name of nodes on the face of the first volume (one layer): 1_____2____3___4____ 5 |...

Send by: Stefania Ciliberti Hi!!! I have a problem: I'm trying to import into GiD a simple shapefile that represents a small area of the Crati's basin. The file is very simple because I'm using the free demo GiD, that is limitated to generate 1000 nodes c.a. I have visualized the countor lines of this small area, but each point of the line is characterized only by x and y coordinates; z coordinate in null. So, when I generate the NURBS Surface for my unstructured mesh, the program returns a domain in x-y plane with z=0 and don't generate the terrain model with a triangular mesh. Is it a problem of the type of shapefile or do I go in wrong when I import the file? Help me! Thanks!

[GiDlist] Postprocessing data
Send by: Smith, Mark Hi Gid Team Is it possible to extend the post-processing capability by allowing existing data to be plotted in different ways. For example if I had 3 scalar quantities on nodes say displacements x,y & z it would be nice to be able to plot the magnitude of the displacement on a displaced mesh. In fact it would be useful to post process results by applying any mathematical process on the existing results to form a new output. At the moment you seem to have to write a new results file capability in the solver? A script language would be useful & not Tcl/Tk which I find to be the most unintuitive language invented!

[GiDlist] Contour lines of element results / 1D results on 2D mesh
Send by: Andreas Hauck Hi,
In my GiD-post file I have 2D quadrilaterals and 1D line elements, both
1st order. On the 2D elements there is defined a nodal result
(elecPotential), as well as an element result (elecFieldIntensity),
which is just computed for the central point of each element. I use GiD
8.0.1 on a Linux machine.
When I now try to use contour lines, I can only visualize the nodal
field, whereas the element results gives no lines at all. Is this
intended or is there something wrong with my definition of the Gauss
points? The file was created using the gidpost library 1.7 (see attachment).
Additionally I have results defined on 1D line elements within this
grid. These results I can only visualize with a normal contour fill,
because smooth contour fill gives only 0's. Is this a correct behavior
or is there a possibility to smooth contour fill also the values of 1D
results onto a 2D grid?
The files of concern are attached in .tar.gz format.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Andreas

Hello Benjamin,
You can mesh circles with quadrilaterals using GiD. If you want the mesh to
be structured, the circle must have 4 contour lines, but this kind of meshes
is not “nice” in circles.
The best thing you can do is to mesh the circles using unstructured
quadrilateral. The only restriction for doing this kind of mesh is that each
contour line of the circle must have an even number of elements (divisions).

It seams that you had not assigned compatible meshing data to entities.
Using GiD, hexahedra elements can only be done using structured or

Send by: Abel Coll Hello, You have to ensure that the line divisions are compatible. For example: if you want to mesh one four-sided surface with structured quadrilateral and you assign 2 and 3 number of divisions to opposite lines of the surface, GiD will mesh both lines with 3 number of divisions, to make the mesh compatible. May be this is the reason why your circle lines are meshed with an odd number of divisions, even if you assign an even number of it (in your case 2).

Benjamin ----- Original Message ----- From: Abel Coll To: gidlist at gatxan.cimne.upc.edu Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 4:48 AM Subject: RE: [GiDlist] quadrilaterals in circles Hello, You have to ensure that the line divisions are compatible. For example: if you want to mesh one four-sided surface with structured quadrilateral and you assign 2 and 3 number of divisions to opposite lines of the surface, GiD will mesh both lines with 3 number of divisions, to make the mesh compatible. May be this is the reason why your circle lines are meshed with an odd number of divisions, even if you assign an even number of it (in your case 2). A part from that, which GiD version are you using? I recommend you to use the last official version (8.0.2), because there are some bug fixed from older versions.

Send by: Abel Coll Hi Benjamin, There is a corrected bug in the 8.0.2 version, that will be available in the next official version. It will be public very soon (today or the next week), so you will be able to mesh your model. I thought it was already fixed in the 8.0.2 version, so I’m sorry for have not telling this to you before. Thanks for notifying us this irregular behaviour of GiD.

[GiDlist] parametric model, modify geometry
Send by: Karsten Quint Dear GiD-Users, I am interested in creating a parametric model and assign variables to the dimensions. So far I couldn’t find any information on this in the manuals. Is this possible in GiD? What are the possibilities to modify the geometry? Do I have to move points or is there some smarter way?

[GiDlist] parametric model, modify geometry
Send by: Enrique Escolano Sorry, but is in general it not possible with GiD. For simple cases, you can write a Tcl procedure that use GiD commands to rebuilt your geometry based on the parameter values (or write a batch file with the list of GiD commands) Regards Enrique ----- Original Message ----- From: Karsten Quint To: gidlist at gatxan.cimne.upc.es Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 6:31 PM Subject: [GiDlist] parametric model, modify geometry Dear GiD-Users, I am interested in creating a parametric model and assign variables to the dimensions.

Send by: Smith, Mark Hi gidteam In Netgen there is the ability to import geometry in stl format & remesh with nice shaped elements, I can then export this in stl format for importing into GiD, Is there a way I could do thin within GiD without using Netgen? I'd like to import stl geometry rather than as a mesh so I can edit the geometry, add boundary conditions etc before meshing.

Send by: Enrique Escolano Hi Mark,
I don't know wall all Netgen features to remesh over a triangulation.
A Stl file itself is a triangle mesh closing a volume, are not "geometrical surfaces" in the GiD context.
You can import it in GiD:
1- As a mesh. Then you can try to do some mesh operation, like collapse edges, smooth, swap normals, etc, in order to enhance it.
You can also try to mesh the closed volume with tetrahedra, from this boundary triangles (without remesh the triangles).
And is possible to assign materials and conditions directly to mesh entities.
But in general GiD is more oriented to work with the geometry as source, not the mesh.
2- As a "surf-mesh", to try to use this triangles as pseudo-surfaces than can be remeshed.
3- Convert each triangle in a surface, for example importing the mesh, exporting it with the DxfSAP2000 template, and importing the
dxf again. Then you can use all geometrical GiD tools, but you will have a lot of small planar surfaces. Maybe using the Rjump
mesher features, can obtain a surface mesh similar to the Netgen one.
Regards
Enrique

[GiDlist] Point Evolution Problem
Send by: Rodrigo Rossi Hi everyone, I think that I am experiencing a bug in the “Point Evolution” tool in the post processing phase. I am sending attached to this e-mail two archives (.res and .msh) with the post processing information. Also, I am sending the temperature evolution for the nodes at the vertices of the element 41, and for the point at the centroid of this element. Surprising, the temperature evolution at the centroid of element behaves in a very strange manner. I expected that the evolution of the temperature in such point had a behavior as a average (fem interpolation) of the two curves.

Send by: Enrique Escolano Dear GiD Users. Now is available a New GiD 8.0.6 official 8 version for Windows. http://www.gidhome.com/download/do01_v8 This version has basically the same features as the previous 8.0.2, but some bugs have been corrected. GiD 8.0.6 official 8 version will be available for other platforms in January (including the MacOSX we expect) Also in January we are planning to release a 8.1.1b beta version with a lot of news.
