                  [GiDlist] Using Gidpost-Library 1.70 with linux and ifort

Send by: Karsten Quint
On: Wed Jan 10 15:09:02 CET 2007



Dear GiD-Users,

 

I’ve been working through the customization tutorials and set up my own
problem type to create input files for our FEM code. Now I want to save the
results with the functions of the GiDpost-Library. I can compile the library
and the C test program without any difficulties, but I am having problems
with the fortran version. I am working on SUSE Linux 10.0 and am using ifort
9.1. Here is the output that I get:

When I am using gfortran I get a similar error.

 

Is cfortran responsible for the error? Would a new version fix the problem
or am I missing something?

 

Thanks for your help

                              [GiDlist] Using Gidpost-Library 1.70 with linux and ifort

Send by: Jorge
On: Fri Jan 12 13:34:02 CET 2007



Hello, the problem is with gidpost. The code is only tested with f77
which needs and extra '_' (gcc append one) appened to the symbols.

A workaround for you is to comment lines 10 and 11 in gidpostfor.c

 8: #ifdef WIN32
 9: #else
10: /* #undef fcallsc
11:    #define fcallsc(UN,LN) append_fcallsc(_,_,UN,LN) */
12: #endif

take into account that this is will only work with ifort (may be with
gfortran too) but not with f77.

A general solution taking care of this configuration option will be
available in next release.

best regards,

Jorge

                  [GiDlist] Contour lines of element results / 1D results on 2D mesh

Send by: Miguel Pasenau
On: Fri Jan 12 17:41:01 CET 2007



Hello,

Sorry for the delay, we're on holyday for Christmas and new year, and ahd a
lot of work.

 

About your problem, you can not draw contour lines of results defined on
quadrilateral elements with 1 gauss point. 

 

Gauss point results are drawn, by default, per element basis, without
smoothing them. And so, you’ll see discontinuities when doing a ‘contour
fill’. Only the 'Smooth Contour Fill' smoothes the Gaussians results and
brings them to the nodes.

 

So if you have defined 1 gp, the result defined for this gauss point is used
across the whole element, as you can see with the 'contour fill' of
‘elecCharge’:

 

And the ‘smooth contour fill’ of the same result:

 



 

If you want to see the Contour lines of this result, you’ll get something
like this:

 



 

because the chances are very little that the one value used to draw the
whole element is exactly the same as one of the used to draw the contour
lines.

 

A possible solution will be to add a ‘smooth contour lines’ option, like the
one for contour fill, or just add an option to enable the smoothing of the
gauss points results for all the visualization possibilities (I think this
one is better), like ‘show min max’, ‘deformation’, ‘vectors’, ‘result
surface’, etc..

 

By now, results defined on gauss points over lines are not smoothed. If it
is easy to smooth them for one gauss point, two or even three, it’s hard to
generalise. But we can start with these particular cases.

 

Hope it helps, thanks for your patience,

Best regards,

 

miguel

Send by: Andreas Hauck
On: Mon Jan 22 17:02:02 CET 2007



Hi,

I have sent this request already two times, but did not receive an answer yet:

Do you have any plans to extend the GidDPost library, so it can be also
used to retrieve data from the result files? I really would appreciate
this functionality, as I want to compare the data of two GiD-files using
a small C-program on the command line.

Regards,
Andreas

                  [GiDlist] Correction to GiD_Begin3DMatResult in Gidpost-Library

Send by: Karsten Quint
On: Thu Jan 25 11:31:01 CET 2007



Dear gid-users,

I made a minor correction to gidpostfor.c in line 365.

int GiD_Begin3DMatResult(GP_CONST char * Result, GP_CONST char * Analysis,
double step,
			 GiD_ResultLocation Where,
			 GP_CONST char * GaussPointsName, GP_CONST char *
RangeTable,
			 GP_CONST char * Comp1, GP_CONST char * Comp2,
GP_CONST char * Comp3,
			 GP_CONST char * Comp4, GP_CONST char * Comp5,
GP_CONST char * Comp6)
{
  int ncomp = 0;
  GP_CONST char * CompBuffer[6];

  ncomp = SetupComponents(4, CompBuffer, Comp1, Comp2, Comp3, Comp4, Comp5,
Comp6);
  return GiD_BeginResult(Result, Analysis, step, GiD_Matrix, Where,
GaussPointsName, RangeTable, ncomp, CompBuffer);
}

Correction:
-->  ncomp = SetupComponents(6, CompBuffer, Comp1, Comp2, Comp3, Comp4,
Comp5, Comp6);

Hello Miguel,
sadly i recognized, that streamlines does not work for
quadratic quadrilaterals with the new beta version 8.1.1.b.
Still just triangles and tetras can be used therefore.
Do you plan to implement this functionality within the next beta version?
When does this next beta version will be released?
Thanks

Al parecer es un problema de la tarjeta de gráficos de tu computadora.
Pudieras probar con diferentes configuraciones de resolución (se modifica en
Control Panel) hasta que haya una en donde esto no suceda.

¿Puede decirnos cual es tu tarjeta gráfica?

Pulsa el botón derecho del ratón sobre el escritorio, y selecciona en el menu "Propiedades" 
pestaña: Configuración, botón: Opciones avanzadas
pestaña: Adaptador, botón Propiedades

Si desactiva la aceleración gráfica ya te irá bien: 
Pestaña: Solución de problemas, y baja la aceleración.

Por otro lado, es posible que actualizando los drivers (busca en la web del fabricante de la tarjeta) te funcione también con
la aceleración activada.

Hi friends
     Any one here has used the Windows Vista?? and is Gid 8 compatible with Windows Vista? I have problem with the installation of Visual Studio V.5 (Fortran). There mentioned some errors.. Did you have any problem like that?? and how did you solve such problem?? Windows Vista do not support most of the older version of the softwares...

Thanks

Hello, Willy S,

I've used GiD on MS Windows Vista RC1 a bit. I'd found a problem related to
the local 'sysinfo' for non-privileged users (without administrator rights)
but this issue is solved in GiD 8.0.7 & GiD 8.1.1b. Another problem I've
found is related to the Usb memory sticks, which GiD couldn't find them, and
so they couldn't be used to register GiD. 

Although this issue is also solved, the correction will be available with
the next version of GiD.

 

When we worked on the 64bits version of GiD for MS Windows XP 64 bits, we've
upgraded from MS VisualStudio 2002 to MS VisualStudio 2005, we needed to.
The 32bit version is still created with MS VS 2002, but the 64bit version is
created with MS VS 2005.

 

There are a lot of "protection" issues related to MS Vista which causes a
lot of raised windows asking for permissions to execute programs, look for
information, resources, although the user is administrator. Some registry
entries have changed, too.

 

Hope it helps, best regards,

 

Miguel

You  have to use the first version of apple X11. For this, after

                  [GiDlist] intervals question

Send by: Rodrigo Rossi
On: Tue Feb 27 15:15:02 CET 2007



Hi,

 

I need to determine the number of intervals in a GID project for further use
in my personal solver. I had read the gid manuals but I did not figure out a
simple command (like *npoin, *nmats) which returns the number of intervals
in the project. Then I use the following statements in order to recover the
number of intervals in the project:

 

*Set var j(Int)=0

*loop intervals

*Set Var j=operation(j+1)

*End intervals

 

%intervals

*j

 

I am wondering, is there an easy (direct) manner (command) to recover the
total number of intervals in a given gid project?

 

Thanks

Not exists a direct command at *.bas syntax level,

You can ask this information from Tcl, with
GiD_Info intvdata Num
it returns two numbers: the current interval and the number of intervals

You can use  from *.bas something like this:
*tcl([lindex [GiD_Info intvdata Num] 1])

but probably is more efficient your implementation
*Set var j(Int)=0

*loop intervals

*Set Var j=operation(j+1)

*End intervals

Dear Adison,

 

I’m Abel Coll, from the GiD Team.

 

Wich version of GiD are you using? In the latest beta version (8.1.1b), you
can obtain different structured meshes depending on the surface mesher
selected in Meshing Preferences. RFAST mesher performs the structured mesh
interpolating coordinates in 2D space (typically u-v space of NurbSurfaces),
and RSURF mesher performs it in the 3D space. This two options gives
different meshes in terms of nodes location. 

In any case, could you please send me the model you are working in
(abelcs at cimne.upc.edu) to see if there is any problem in the meshing
procedure?

 

Regards,

 

 
ABEL

Hi,
the 'open multiple' entry is more appropriate if you have a different mesh
each time step, or group of time steps, as you would with a refinement or
remeshing process in a particle or optimization analysis. 

What you can do is a 'merge' of both geometries but you should be sure that
the nodes and elements numbers of the first geometry are not present in the
second. If the identifiers are the same, then the repeated ones of the
second mesh will overwrite those of the first one.

It's in our plan to add an 'automatic' renumbering option for this 'merge'
process.

Best regards,

Miguel

Send by: Abel Coll
On: Mon Mar 5 19:29:02 CET 2007



Dear Adirson,

 

As I commented you last week, there might be two options when meshing
structured surfaces, the problem is that there was a bug in the code. 

Now this bug is corrected, so in the next official (8.0.x) and beta (8.x)
version this option will be available.

 

The key is that using RFAST or RSURF mesher (you can select the kind of
mesher in Utilities->Preferences->Meshing) you can obtain different
structured meshes. This is because the interpolation that is done internelly
to genereate the mesh is preformed in 2d space (U-V NURBS space) or in 3D
space. In your case it seams that you will prefer RFAST option, as you can
see in the two attached images.

 

Thank you very much for notifying us this irregular behaviour.

 

Best regards,

 

                                                           ABEL

                  [GiDlist] Interval  information in post processing phase

Send by: Rodrigo Rossi
On: Tue Mar 6 15:29:01 CET 2007



Hi Gid Team,

 

I would like to suggest the inclusion, for the new releases of course, of
the Interval information such as interval number/name and other pertinent
information related to Interval as well, in the post processing phase Gid. 

 

For example I am now working in a transient heat transfer analysis that
involves a Heating phase (interval 1) followed by a Cooling phase (interval
2). Each phase has its proper time size and step size. I would like to
create a single *.pos and *.msh comprising the post processing phase of this
transient heat transfer analysis. In fact, my personal solver already writes
such post process file, but I can’t differentiate when the Temperature
field, for example, belongs to the Heating phase or to the Cooling phase. I
would like to visualize the name Heating/Cooling (the name of the interval)
in the post processing phase without create to different Result blocks. I
think that an easy manner to do that is add an optional argument to the
Result block, for instance:

 

Result "result name” "analysis name” step_value my_result_type my_location
"location name” "interval name”

 

and then plot the "interval name” in the post processing window in
accordance to the step_value.

   Hello,

   Is it not possible for you to put the "interval name” as
"analysis name"? Take into account that "analysis name" can be
any text string that is meaningful for your application.

Another way to do it it's grouping the results, for instante:

Result "Heating//Temperature" "Heat analysis" 1.0 Scalar OnNodes
(...)

Result "Cooling//Temperature" "Heat analysis" 1.0 Scalar OnNodes
(...)

I send you enclosed an example,

                              [GiDlist] Point Analysis Bug

Send by: Martin Meiler
On: Tue Mar 6 17:14:02 CET 2007



Hi GiD developers,

i am not sure, but i somehow believe the following to be a bug in the
point evolution functionality of GiD.

Find attached four png-images.

refering-nodes-elems.png: shows one element and a contour fill of one
result.
point-node-analysis.png: shows the result of several point evolutions on
this result type.

Note that you will see four node results. The points selected within
this element should therefore show values between previously mentioned
node values.

This works for most of the points, but for points near the upper right
corner (node 22) the values are approximately zero.

point-node-analysis-around-node-22-setup.png: shows node 22 and some
points used for point-analysis graphs.

point-node-analysis-around-node-22.png: shows the result of the
analysis. all values should be around the value of node 22.
obviously the value of the blue point is completly wrong, but even if
checking the values for the green and black point, there is a difference
in the value, even if both have the same y-value. (the green result is
the wrong one)


In my opinion this behaviour is a bug.

Thanks for an answer.

Best regards

Martin

                                          [GiDlist] Point Evolution Bug

Send by: Rodrigo Rossi
On: Tue Mar 6 18:26:02 CET 2007



Hi Gid Team,

I think that I am experiencing a bug in the “Point Evolution” tool in the
post processing phase, similar to that referred by Martin in the ”Point
Analysis”. 

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 an "average"
(fem interpolation) of the two curves.

Best regards,

Rossi

As I understand, do you have a model with two parts, and you want to obtain different mesh sizes, is not?

You can assign mesh sizes to geometrical entities (points, lines, surfaces or volumes):

Mesh->Unstructured->Assign sizes on...

Then the mesher try to obtain this sizes if they are possible.

                  [GiDlist] Retrieving dof information

Send by: Rodrigo Rossi
On: Thu Mar 15 22:49:02 CET 2007



Hi everyone,

 

I have a doubt about how retrieve the dof prescribed status information in
the *.bas file. For example, how can I check if a dof from a node of the
mesh has a prescribed value? I know that a instruction as 

 

*Set Cond Point-Temperature-Load *nodes

*Add Cond Line-Temperature-Load *nodes

*loop nodes *OnlyInCond

*NodesNum  *cond(1)  *cond(2) ...

*end nodes

 

will return the information of the nodes with  prescribed values. But, in
fact what I intend to use is something like this

 

*Set Cond Point-Temperature-Load *nodes

*Add Cond Line-Temperature-Load *nodes

*loop nodes

*if(cond(1)==true) (Means that the dof has been set with a prescribed value)

      Something happens

*else

      Something different happens

*endif    

*end nodes

 

I know that the procedure *if(cond(1)==true) is invalid, but how can I check
if the cond(1) has prescribed value, without use the *OnlyInCond, in this
last example?

 

Regards

Rrossi

Send by: Enrique Escolano

To ask for a condition field, is compulsory to be inside a "*loop nodes onlyincond", not in a loop over all nodes.

*loop nodes *OnlyInCond

*if(cond(1))

      true if the first field is not zero

      Something happens 

*else

      Something different happens

*endif

*end nodes



But this loop off course won't pass over the nodes without this condition applied.

If fact, a node doesn't has any normal vector. This normal is only well defined for elements (triangles, quadrilaterals, not for volume elements).
You can associate to nodes an averaged value of normals of the elements sharing this node.

You can export the GiD mesh, and do this small calculation inside your own code.

If you only want to see the normal at the nodes, in postprocess you can do a
'View results'-->'Result surface'-->'Choose a scalar result'. This
visualization option will drawn a surface extruded from the nodes using
their's normals and at a distance proportional to the chosen scalar result.
With the option 'Options'-->'Result surface'-->'Show elevations' you can
select between just see the extruded surface, or see connection lines
between the original nodes and the ones of the extruded surfaces (and so
you'll see their normals), or the extruded edges of the elements between the
original surface and the extruded one, or a contour fill of the result on
the extruded surface.

 

There is no way to write these normals onto a file. You have to calculate
them from the mesh.

   In order to create normal in the nodes and output the information into
a file you need to do the following:

   - Create a new problemtype

   - Define a condition over lines or surfaces that contains a "local axes"
     field

   - Create a ".bas" file inside the problemtype that prints the local axes
     transformation matrix for every node that has the condition applied

   - One of the column of that matrix is the normal

   Not simple, but you have all the information in the help in order to do
this.

Hi everybody!

I have the following question to ask:
I have two different layers in 3D (both of them belong of the same 
geometry and sharing the plane XY) and I would like to use a 
semistructured mesh:
- On one of the layers I would like to have a semistructured mesh in XY 
plane and 4 divisions in structured direction (Z).
- On the another one I would like to have the same semistructured mesh 
in XY plane but 10 divisions in structured direction (Z).

How would the way be in order to get this aim?

Any advice will be welcome.
Best regards and thanks in advance!

Dear Isa,

When you select a volume as Semi-structured, a window comes asking for the
number of divisions in the structured direction, and you can assign a
different number of divisions to different volumes.

Thanks Abel,

The problem isn't in the structured direction, it is in the plane where 
the elements are unstructured.

Let's imagine I have a cube with 2 divisions in the structured direction 
(z-axis) and 10 divisions per lines that form a square in the XY-plane. 
I have the mesh created.
Later, I create another cube (on another layer) and I want to have 
different divisions in the structured direction (z-axis), what I get it 
easily, and I also want to have the same mesh in the XY-plane that both 
cubes share, how could I do this last one?

Thanks in advance and best regards

you can apply the mesh on the lin in direction z with
the division that you want and also for x and y,that
means at the firs you creat the hexahedra elemet in
element type for your cube and then apply the mesh

I don't understand well your questions.

Do you have two volumes in two different places, or they have some surface in the same location? Then they share this surface?

If a surface is shared between two volumes, then its nodes are also shared. Maybe you need to collapse both surfaces.

If they are two separated surfaces, in general unstructured meshes obtained can be different.
You can force the number of divisions in lines with Mesh->Structured->Lines

If you really need to have the "same mesh" (a one-by-one relationship between nodes), you can do a trick: create a "separated
contact volume" between this two surfaces (Geometry->Create->Contact->Separated volume).
By default this pseudo-volume will create prisms connecting nodes, but you can avoid to create elemens for this volume with
Mesh->Mesh criteria->No mesh->Volumes

Regards

Enrique

Sorry for my explanation.
I will try to clarify my doubts.

I have two volumes (indeed two cubes) in different layers that share one 
surface.
Volume1 is already meshed and I would like to extrude its mesh made in 
the sharing surface (XY-plane) into  the opposite face of the Volume2. 
On the other hand, I can have different divisions  on the structured 
direction in each volume, which is a feature that I need.

I have tried to use "Geometry-Create-Contact-Separated volume", as you 
said (without using Geometry-Collapse-Model) but the message I obtain is 
"2 surfaces are necessary".

Thanks in advance and best regards

To achieve this I've followed these steps:

Creation of the geometry: a square in the xy plane, and then an extrusion
with rotation of 60 degrees on the positive (in one layer) and negative Z
axis (in the other layer).

Semistructured mesh:
1. I choose 'Mesh-->semistructured-->Volumes' and a windows pop's up asking
me 'Enter number of divisions and assign it to the semi-structured volumes'.
2. I entered '4' and clicked on one volume,
3. then I entered '10' and clicked on the other volume.
4. then I pressed 'escape'.
5. now I chose 'Mesh-->semistructured-->Set-->Master surface'
6. and selected the square which lies on the XY plane, because the mesh of
this 'master surface' will be the one to be extruded along the volumes,
i.e., the z axis.
7. and generated the mesh (Ctrl-G): 1260 Prisms.

I send you enclosed the model, too.

If this is not want you need, ¿can you send us an example?

Miguel

                                                      [GiDlist] Two layers, same mesh in plane XY, different division in X axis.

Thank-you very much. Your plots have helped a lot.
Yes, more or less it is your problem which I was asking about.

Other questions that have sprung up are the following ones:

- Do you collapse the model? I mean, do use 
"Geometry-edit-collapse-model" (or "Geometry-edit-collapse-surfaces" or 
"Geometry-edit-collapse-volume") before using semistructured mesh? If 
you do, which one, among these three possibilities, do you use?

- I have the same problem as you have but, in my case, the geometry that 
lies on the layer (number 1) is already meshed (and although I speak of 
cube, the geometry I actually use is more complicated). Then, I create 
the second cube on another layer (number 2) but I would like to have the 
same mesh on the master surface as you have. The only difference is that 
the mesh over one cube is created previously.
Perhaps, the only solution is to create all mesh together from scratch 
every time I add a new piece of my geometry. However, I have to create 
and simulate my mesh little by little and if I have to create the 
entirely mesh every time, it is really hard stuff, isn't it?
I don't know if I have explain myself correctly.

Again, thanks very much. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards
Isa

1 - Collapse is a tool to join "near entities" (near with a small tolerance, you can set it from preferences - Import tolerance).
Probably in your case the result of collapse model, volume, or only selecting the overlapped surfaces will be the same.
- collapse model try to collapse all without ask for selection
- collapse volumes will try to collapse the selected volumes and its dependencies (surfaces, lines, points)
- collpase surfaces will try to collapse the selected surfaces and its dependencies (lines, points)

2- You must mesh all togheter, in general with GiD can't create a mesh part by part.
All direct operations over mesh are unrecommended, it's better to do operations only with the geometry,
and then generate automatically the final mesh.
You can set some entities to not be meshed, with Mesh->Mesh criteria->No mesh->...
 this is usual for meshing tests, or simulate only some part without delete other parts, etc.
but to have the final complete mesh, you must remesh all togheter.

Hi,

 

I didn't collapse the model. I just created the middle surface in the XY
plane, and just used it to do two extrusions (utility->copy) on either side
on this surface (the checkbox with the label 'duplicate entities' should be
unchecked). The options I used in this window are: 

 

Entities type: Surface, 

 

Transformation: rotation (to get the model I sent you before, perhaps in
your case should be translation), 

 

First point..angle..second point... whatever

 

EmptyCheckBox - duplicate entities

 

Do extrude: volume

 

EmptyCheckBox - create contacts

 

(...)

 

In your case, where one of the volumes is already created, you should use
what you call the 'master surface' as a face of the second volume. I don't
know how do you create this second volume, but in the 'Utilities-->Copy...'
window you can select this 'master surface' to do the extrusion of the
second volume.

 

Once the second volume is created, you can select
'Mesh-->SemiStructured-->Volumes' menu option. Enter the number of divisions
you want for the second volume, and click on the second volume, then press
'Escape'.

Now select 'Mesh-->SemiStructured-->Set-->Master Surface' and click on your
'master surface'.

Now you can create your mesh.

 

If you don't want to remesh the first volume, just 'freeze' the layer where
the volume is: in the layer window, click on the layer and press the button
with the closed padlock icon. When a layer is frozen, it can not be edited
nor meshed.

 

Miguel

Hi
I am trying to generate quadratic hexahedral  mesh in a simple cube. I am

I have enclosed the screen print of the cube as jpg file. To understand, I

You are showing the global numeration of the nodes, not the element list of connectivities!!

This global numeration is only like an identifier name of each node. 
e.g. the node number 1 can't be the first node of each element!!

To know the nodes of an element you can list it (utilities->list->Element). First are listed corners, then middle nodes.

Enrique

Hello,
This question is related to CODE_ASTER, but not to GiD itself.

The calculation message show a problem with the node 6240. Try to see in GiD the shape of the elements near this node,
(but it's possible that the node numeration of CODE_ASTER is different of the GiD numeration)

Note: With GiD you can point the node 6240 with the menu: Utilities->Signal->Nodes 6240 
 and can also show the label for this node with:  View->Label->Select->Node 6240

Check also the boundary conditions of your model.

Hi,
There are two ways:

First way:

View Results-->Graphs-->Point evolution-->Displacements (or your result's
name);
then select the option 'select nodes' in the contextual menu (right click
over the graphical window);
now you can select the nodes you want.

Second way:

Window-->View graphs...
Select 'Point evolution' in the combobox with label 'View:';
select your 'displacements' result in the tree under the 'Y axis:' label;
then select the option 'select nodes' in the contextual menu (right click
over the graphical window);
now you can select the nodes you want.

Hello,

I have another question regarding the beta version: Starting from 8.1.1b
there is now 'basic support' for pyramids, as it was anounced. Does this
mean, that one can create mixed meshes with hexahedral and tetrahedral
elements?

Now GiD can't generate this kind of mixed meshes. Pyramid elements can be only created by importation,
this 'basic support' mean that they can be drawn, selected, written/read, posprocessed , etc.

Of course the idea is to use in the future this pyramid as auxiliary element to interface between other elements, like tetraedra and
hexaedra.

Hello,
This error is from Code-Aster (http://www.code-aster.org) but it seems to me
that you have some problems with the mesh. Code-aster can not factorize the
matrix because the pivot at line 17829 is almost zero <-- there should be a
problematic element, or more, with the negative langrage value.

I don't understand what does  " cylindical local 'on a surface' " mean.
You can specify a location in cylindrical coordinates, by writting in the command line (or using the coordinates window)
radius<angle,z  
for a coordinate relative to the previous one, begin with @
@radius<angle,z

Send by: CALAON Andrea Dalmine R&D

I meant being able to have a system of local coordinates assigned to surfaces that has cylindrical coordinates (rho,phi,z) (by defining cords of the centre, cylindrical axis and reference direction).
Since in non Cartesian (still orthogonal) reference systems different points (node) can have different orientations of the orthogonal coordinate axes, I was hoping to have the possibility of retrieving from the GiD database radial, tangential and axial directions at different points (nodes). But this would mean from the GiD point of view a calculation of the system directions (tangent vectors of the reference system) at all nodes belonging to the surface. In other words I was wandering if there is any tool to manage cylindrical local system of coordinates (that goes from the geometrical to the mesh database during meshing). 
I hope it clearer now.

At .bas level , variables can only store integer or real values, not strings, like a generic Matprop field.

*set var ANY=MatProp(ANY_PROPERTY_NAME) is not valid
it can be valid if you specify its numeric type with REAL or ,INT:

*loop materials
*set var ANY=MatProp(ANY_PROPERTY,REAL) 
any:*ANY
mid:*Operation(0.5*MatProp(ANY_PROPERTY,REAL))
*end materials

(off course the field must have a numeric value)

  Thanks Enrique,
  with "real" it works fine, but I stumbled into another problem. I need to use the exponential function "exp", but it seems not to work, whereas "fabs", "sqrt", ... work fine in the same place.

Hello GiD'users!

I have a little problem when I want to create a mesh.
I am working with GID 8.0.8 in Windows.


I attach my project because I don't get to make a good semistructured 
volume with structured mesh
in z-direction. You can see the irregularities of the mesh if you use 
the XY-plane view and the rotate trackball tool.

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I think I followed correctly the 
advice that previous e-mails
gave me but perhaps I am forgetting something.
 
I would be really grateful if you could cast a glance at it.

Thanks in advance and best regards
Isa

Hello Isabel,

I don't see the "irregularities of the mesh ". What do you want to obtain?
Can you specify some node or element number of your mesh where the mesh is wrong?

Hi,

If you mean that the elements are quite distorted, i think it's because you
have assigned element size of '2' for some volumes (layers 'capa1_a' and
'capa1_b' with a height of 0.002) and '4' for others (layers 'capa2_a' and
'capa2_b' with a height of 0.002). Some details of the surfaces conforming
the volumes is just 0.001. You can see it at 'ig_volume_size_1.png'.

And, for instance, at the layer 'capa1_b', there are surfaces with element
size assigned of 0.0059 (and the width of the surface is just 0.002) and
just beside them surfaces with element size of 0.000325, 15 times less, as
you can see in the image 'ig_surface_size_1.png', resulting in the mesh
shown in 'ig_mesh_zoom_1.png'.
Best regards,

Miguel

Hello!

First of all, thanks for your reply.

Your are right with the so different size of mesh elements I am using, 
but if you, in the previous project I sent you, put "RENDER->normal" and 
put on and off the "layer capa2_a", you can see that different lines 
appear (you can see this effect at first sight on the left at the bottom 
with only the "layer capa1_a" on and putting the "layer capa2_a" on and 
off, with the view of XY plane).
Do you mean that these irregularities in the mesh is due to my bad size 
election?

Again, thank-you very much in advance.

Best regards!

I think that we didn't understand your meaning of  "irregularities in the mesh"
I think that you don't want to say "elements with bad angles or sizes", and what you want
is that all extruded nodes have exactly the same XY proyection. Is not?

Structured or semi-structured meshes will not generate aligned-like nodes in the extrusion direction, the algorithm is not a simple
translation, is more general  (lateral surfaces can be curved, and both tops must have the same number of boundaries, but can have
different shape)

Last 8.1.x beta versions have an "special option" to try to force this alignement if possible, by setting the GiD variable
AlignSemiStructuredNodes to 1
escape escape escape utilities variables AlignSemiStructuredNodes 1
(but your 8.0.8 official version doesn't has this option)

Next week we are releasing a new beta version 8.1.3 that also has a new unstructured quadrilateral meshing algorithm,
Obtained quadrilaterals will have much better shape quality. Can set this mesher with the variable:
escape escape escape utilities variables QuadrilateralMesher 1

GiD 8.1.2 is crashing because you are using the new quadrilateral mesher

You must set the old quadrilateral mesher (value=0)
escape escape escape utilities variables QuadrilateralMesher 0  
And activate the align nodes option (value=1)
escape escape escape utilities variables AlignSemiStructuredNodes 1

As I said we are releasing a new 8.1.3 beta version in few days, with quadrilateral mesher fixed bugs.

Dear GiD Team,

Thanks for your help, I mean the use of TypeOfQuadMesher and

However, if I want to concentrate elements in the structured direction 
(z-direction), I obtain the same XY projection in all extruded nodes but 
if I put plane XZ or plane YZ I don't obtain the same projection over 
those planes (if I don't concentrate elements everything is right on 
each plane).

Could you give me any ideas?

 Hi,

I created a surface in a new layer named "surface1" from lines "By
contour" which belong to another layer named "Box".

This new surface has no sub-entities (lines and points) which I would
like to generate in the same layer "surface1".

I used the function "Uncollapse", it creates the sub-entities required,
however these sub-entities belong to the layer "Box" even if "surface1"
is the layer in use.

How could I have it done without using the function "send to" in the
layer interface window ?

While selecting points, you can use the command

or 
Fnojoin
to force to set the "join" (select an existent point, by its number) or "nojoin" (create a new point, by its coordinates) state.

e.g.
GiD_Process geometry create line fjoin <num start> <num end>

Hello Andrea,

It's difficult to manage the new entities created by GiD operations, because it's unknow the number of entities to be obtained, etc.

In order to facilitate the automatizacion with scripts, we try to create the new entities with increasing numeration (without fill
lower void numbers). Then you can ask GiD for the last point number, etc, and the new ones of the intersection, etc, will be all
with higher numeration.

It's easy to send to another layer, etc all entities from a number to the end, with  the syntax
<beginnum>:<endnum>
If <endnum> is missing, it's assumed until the last entity (somewhere is also valid to use the word "end")

It's not possible to import STEP format, but usually all CAD's that can export in this format, can also export in IGES format 
that I think is much more extended, then is not very interesting to implement it.

In other hand, I never had a document explaining this format, if fact there is a lot of sub-documents (aplication protocols, etc), 
and it's not easy to know what's the interesting geometric part to implement. Do you have this information?

Hello Enrique,
I am not an expert in CAD file formats, but I have seen that for 3D the STEP format seems offer a safe way of exchanging files even with complex surfaces and volumes. The IGES format, in my experience, in most cases generates problems (exported in one way, imported in another, not closed surfaces, repeated points, lines, folded surfaces ...) especially if the surfaces must generate volumes. The STEP format on the contrary never gave me problems (I DO NOT have a very long experience though).

May be these links can be useful for the geometry only specs:

The only non-parametric surface is the planar surface, and its normal is constant for all surface points

you can ask for example:
set infosurface [GiD_Info list_entities surfaces $surface_id]
and get from this information the part you want, for example with regexp (read any Tcl manual for regexp syntax)
regexp {Normal: ([^
]*)} $infosurface  dummy normal

(the variable named "normal" is filled with the normal components)


I also tried the parametric surface normal command, and it can be used also for non parametric planar surfaces,
in this case you can use any u,v values (between 0 and 1), because this normal is constant.
Then for this case you can simply use
set normal [GiD_Info parametric surface $surface_id normal 0 0]

Hi Ramon,
I tried to use Fjoin and FNOJoin, but I could not have it working.
GiD kept asking me if it should join to already existing point.

I managed the creation of lines using a "stay away" distance, since in this case the lines are all "radial" from a particular axis:

set small_radius [expr {[GiD_Info AutomaticTolerance]*10}]

Hello Andrea,

You are right, Fjoin and Fnojoin swap between pick old point / new point,  but 
if you create a new point "near" a previus one, GiD ask you to join to the already existing point.
In order to deactivate this check, you must temporary set the preference "Create New point" to "Always" instead "Ask"

set  oldvalue [GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint]
GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint 1
# create your new points, without check for close points.
...

# restore the previous value
GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint $oldvalue

Hi,

You can plot a graph along the segment between two points
View results->Graphs->Line graph

You can also do a cut, convert it to  set and use a "border graph" along this cutting line.

Yes, there are several ways:

 

1.	From the top menu: 'View results'-->Graphs-->'Line graph', select
your result and gid will ask you for a line along which the graph will be
drawn.
2.	From the icon bar: click on the icon  and select your result. 
3.	From the top menu: Window-->'View graphs.' will pop up the following
window:  from where you can create your graph.
4.	You can also cut your surface mesh and the do a 'Border graph' from
the top menu 'view results'-->Graphs-->Border graph, or the icon  or the
window Window-->'View graphs.'

 

You can also export these graphs with Files-->Export-->Graph

Hope it helps.

Hi,

 

So you have to use the Line graph and not the border graph. Just select two
nodes of the mesh or enter two points and you'll get the results along the
line between these two point.

 

The 'border graph' is just to do a graph along a border
(DisplayStyle->Border) of a surface mesh (look at the post-process tutorial
at http://www.gidhome.com/support_team/su05.html).

Nevertheless if you still want to use the border graph with your tube mesh,
the best way is first, to do a cut of your mesh, and second, select one
border of this cut. The options x-variation, y-variation, z-variation and
line variation uses the x-coordinate, y-coordinate or z-coordinate of the
nodes of the border line as the x-axis of the graph, or the line variation:
line distance from one of the extremes.

                  [GiDlist] Special need for normals to surface at a specific point

Send by: CALAON Andrea Dalmine R&D
On: Tue May 22 16:20:02 CEST 2007



Dear GiD Team,
I need to write in my .dat file the normals to many surfaces at many different points.
Any point lays exactly on a specific surface because all nodes have been obtained using something like:

...
GiD_Process MEscape Geometry Create IntSurfLine $i $j Mescape
...

In this way, in the GiD database, the node belongs only to the line intersecting the surface and not to the surface itself.
If now I use the command:

set uv [GiD_Info parametric surface $surface_id uv_fromcoord $x $y $z]

(where x, y and z are the point coordinates) in many cases I get an answer (u,v values) even if the node is DOES NOT LAY on the surface given with $surface_id.
Is there any way to find if a node lays (belongs to) on a surface, in order to filter the uv requests only for the right surface?

Thanks for any suggestion.

Best regards,

Andrea Calaon

    I do not know exactly what you want to do with your normals.
In any case, I recommend you to check more closely all the "local
axes" infrastructure in GiD. It is quite powerful and works with
the concept of axes orthogonal to the surface at every point.

Hi,

As you said, uv_fromcoord try to find the u,v of the surface that minimize the distance to the specified point, also if this point
is not on  the surface. You can check the distance from the point to the surface point to decide if it is on the surface with your
tolerance.


To knon the surface number, you can assign a condition with an special #FUNC# field , something like this
...
QUESTION: SurfaceNum#FUNC#(NumEntity)
VALUE: 0

When transfering this condition to mesh entities, this field will store the identifier number of the source geometric entity

I described my problem with wrong words. I need only GEOMETRICAL info, and I wrongly used the word "node" instead of "point". Sorry for the gross mistake.
I need to know if a POINT belongs to a surface in order to limit the use of uv_fromcoord to points that belong to the surface.

With GiD_Info commands you can know the Lines that bounded a surface, and then the points of this lines.

For fast access, you can use a tcl array to store the inverse information: the list of surfaces owning a point

in pseudo-code, can fill the surfaces array with something like this
foreach surface {
   foreach line of the surface {
      if verso==SAME1ST get the line startpoint
      else get the line endpoint

      lappend surfaces($numpoint) $numsurface
   }
}

I tried with:

set projection [GiD_Process MEscape utilities Id MapPointSurface $surface_id $point_id escape] 

to get the coordinates of a new point projection of the old to a surface.
I did not understand the meaning of this command, but I noticed that issuing this on the commmand line gives the coordinates of the projection point.

If I could get in tcl the coordinates that GiD writes in the command line, I could compare them with the coordinates of the non projected point and decide if a point lays on a specific surface.

Hi Miguel,
 
I attached a folder containing postprocessing files but also a picture
showing the graph I obtained using "border graph" option.
The graph shows the "Voltage in electrolyte (average) Vs pipe length (To
be honest, I can' t manage to make a proper selection of the lines that
interst me, and I end up with several same curves on the graph that I
have to delete on the graph management window).
 
I tried the "line graph" option but it doesn't work (I can't display
anything, I don't really know why...).
 
Besides, the model is made of 4 pipes of varying diameters protected by
an anode. The whole is embedded in an electrolyte made of 2 parts
separated by an interface.
 
Many thanks.
 
Ahmed.

Skip and No skip is used to tell gid whether to jump over adjacent lines

And that's it.

Hi GiD team,
I am using the Tcl command:

GiD_Process MEscape utilities Collapse lines $l_lines escape

where l_lines is a list of lines in a special layer.

Provided that l_lines is not empty, the command seems to have NO EFFECT
on the GiD database. If I paste the same command in the GiD command
line:

utilities Collapse lines 55  56 78 ... escape

with the explicit list of lines the command works.
All interested layers (inclusive the layer where the junction points
are) are unloked and all conditions on points are deleted.

Am I doing something wrong?

                              [GiDlist] Collapse problem

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Wed Jun 6 18:30:02 CEST 2007



Hi Andrea,

If you use
GiD_Process utilities Collapse lines "55  56 78" escape
you are sending to the process command a single list with 3 sub-items, 
instead 3 single items.
GiD_Process utilities Collapse lines 55  56 78 escape

Then you need to use eval to "flat" this list.
eval GiD_Process utilities Collapse lines "55  56 78" escape

Another comment: You said that you are selecting the entities of some layer, you can also use syntax 
layer:layername 
to specify the entities of this layer:
set layername layer0
GiD_Process utilities Collapse lines layer:$layername escape

Dear GiD team,
in the documentation I found the function
GiD_MustRemeshFlag 

I tried to use it but it looks like it does not exist. 
(invalid command name)

How can I get the info the function should provide?

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Fri Jun 8 16:16:01 CEST 2007



This is a GiD-Tcl procedure, that works like is explained in the documentation: 

GiD_MustRemeshFlag set|get ?<value>?
  
There is a GiD internal flag to indicate that the geometry, conditions, etc.  have changed, and that the mesh must be re-generated before calculations are performed.
  
 With this command it is possible to set or get this flag value:
  
 <value> is only required for set: must be 0 (false), or 1 (true).  
  
 Example:
 GID_MustRemeshFlag set 1 
 GID_MustRemeshFlag get
 

Maybe this command not exists in your GiD version. If it's an old version update to a more recent one.

You must off course use it at Tcl scripting level, is not a GiD process command !!

I tried to use the routine in one of the tlc files I am using.
I use GiD version 8.0.8.
 
I do some geometry generation in tcl and I would like GiD not to notice it and set the flag to "necessary to remesh". In fact I change a geometry that I do not mesh.
 
Here the code:
 
_______________________________________________________

        tk_messageBox -message

        return
    } else {
        set finput $result
    }
 
    set MustRemeshState [GID_MustRemeshFlag get]
 
    # Prepare a special layer for the auto-lines
    set layers [GiD_Info Layers]
    set ipos [lsearch -exact $layers *auto_radial*]

No sé que es los que estoy haciendo mal, en mi modelo, ya que cuando inicio
el cálculo me dice “NO SE HA LEIDO NINGUN RESULTADO  Para inhabilitar esta
advertencia; Ulilities->Preferente->Use more Windows->Yes”, pero luego
cuando veo las características introducidas anteriormente ya no las puedo
leer, es como si todo estuviera eliminado.

 

Soy principiante y estoy segura que estoy haciendo algo mal.

Hola Lucrecia,

Cor tu explicación no se acaba de entender bien lo que estás haciendo.
¿con que programa intentas calcular? (inicialmente GiD no tiene ningún programa de cálculo, hay que cargar algún 'problemtype' apropiado a lo que quieras hacer)

Parece que el mensaje te lo estará dando cuando pasas de preproceso a postproceso. Al no haber calculado nada
no hay ningún fichero de resultados a leer. 

¿que significa que "no ves las características  introducidas"? 
En GiD hay dos estados claramente diferenciados: preproceso y postproceso, con menus distintos
¿Es posible que estés en modo postproceso y esperas ver los datos de preproceso? Vuelve a cambiar a pre.

En todo caso, te recomiendo que sigas los tutoriales de iniciación a GiD para comenzar a aprender su uso,

Hi GiD team,
I would need to have the .dat files created (like when running
"calculate") before running a special and complex command.
And only if the command succeded, allow the user to run the calculation
(access to the batch system in GiD).

The bit I don't know how to do is: how can I ask GiD to create the .dat
files without having it running the batch file?
Is there any way to do it?
Is it possibile to have GiD accessing the batch system without
recreating the .dat files?

Thanks for any suggestion.

Hi Andrea

You can create the dat file without start the calculation with: Files->Export->Calculation file 
(escape escape Files WriteCalcFile)

You can implement the Tcl-GiD event AfterWriteCalcFileGIDProject , with this prototype

proc AfterWriteCalcFileGIDProject { file error } {
  
  ... do your checks and if something is wrong set value -cancel--
  
  set value ...

  return $value
 }
 
 AfterWriteCalcFileGIDProject : will be called just after writing the calculation file and before the calculation process.  It is useful for renaming files, or cancelling the analysis.  
 
 If it returns -cancel- as a value then the calculation is not invoked.
  
file: the name of the output calculation file 
error: an error code if there is some problem writing the output calculation file.

                  [GiDlist] Strange problem with MaxNumPoints

Send by: CALAON Andrea Dalmine R&D
On: Thu Jun 14 14:04:02 CEST 2007



Dear GiD team,
I am experiencing a strange behaviour in a Tcl procedure that generates
the intersection of lines with surfaces.
I use [GiD_Info Geometry MaxNumPoints] to know when an intersection of a
line with a surface takes place: I call the procedure twice, before the
"GiD_Process MEscape Geometry Create IntSurfLine..." and after it, and
compare the results.
If a new point has been created I change its layer and assign a
condition to it.

The code I use is this:
...
# Get the list of surfaces in special layers            
set surfaces(left_roll_points) [ GiD_Geometry list surface
layer:left_roll ]
set surfaces(right_roll_points) [ GiD_Geometry list surface
layer:right_roll ]
set surfaces(lineal_points) "[ GiD_Geometry list surface
layer:upper_lineal ]
    [ GiD_Geometry list surface layer:lower_lineal ]"
set surfaces(int_points) [ GiD_Geometry list surface layer:plug ]

# Unassign all Dummy_point_surface conditions
GiD_Process MEscape data cond assign Dummy_point_surface delete yes
escape 

# Clear all points in the layer of points if they exist, otherwise
create the layers
foreach layer_name [array names surfaces] {
    set ipos [lsearch -exact $all_layers $layer_name]
    if { $ipos == -1 } { GiD_Process Layers New $layer_name escape }
    if { $ipos != -1 } { GiD_Geometry delete point layer:$layer_name }
}

set l_lines [ GiD_Geometry list line layer:*auto_radial* ] # First loop:
on lines
foreach line_id $l_lines {
    # Use of array for shorter and easyer coding
    foreach {layer_name surface_list} [array get surfaces] {
         # Get the old maximum used point number before creating new
intersectons
         set max_old_point_id [GiD_Info Geometry MaxNumPoints]
         foreach surface_id $surface_list {
            # Creating new points intersecting with the surfaces
            GiD_Process MEscape Geometry Create IntSurfLine
NoDivideLines $surface_id $line_id MEscape
            
            # Get the new maximum used point number after creating
intersectons
            set max_new_point_id [GiD_Info Geometry MaxNumPoints]
            if {$max_new_point_id > $max_old_point_id} {
                 # Assign layer to the new point
                GiD_Process Layers Entities $layer_name Points
$max_new_point_id MEscape
                # Assign to the new point the condition
Dummy_point_surface
                # with the surface the points belong to (for normals
assignment)
                GiD_AssignData condition Dummy_point_surface points
[list $surface_id] $max_new_point_id
                break
            }
            
        } ;# end foreach surface
         
    } ;# end foreach layer 
    
} ;# end first loop: on lines
...

The strange behaviour is that the procedure works fine until a certain
number of lines (I have something like thousands of lines and tens of
surfaces), ad then, even though the intersections continue to be
generated, and new points created, the MaxNumPoints seems not to respond
any more with an increased max point ID. Therefore the layer and the
condition assignments stop to be performed. What I obtain is then the
correct creation of ALL intersections, but only a partial assignment of
conditions and layers.

Is it possible that a new point is created and the MaxNumPoints does not
increase?
Is there any limit I am not considering in any of the GiD procedures I
use?

Thanks

Best regards

Andrea

Probably some new point in some algorith is not using MaxNumPoints+1 as number, and is using a lower number of a previously deleted
point.
In general we use new numbers for the new entities, to provide more control to scripts, but maybe some
algorithm is reusing old free numbers.

Maybe we need to try your specific case to find the cause of the problem.

   Hello,

   My advice is not to go in this direction in order to create new geometry.
The promise of GiD generating always bigger numbers for the newly created
points is at most approximate. It might even change in the future.

   The correct way of doing is is by using auxiliary layers.

   - You create a layer ****TMP**** or similar
   - Make it active
   - Perform your operation, like an intersection
   - New points should be created in that layer
   - Move the points to the appropiate layer
   - Delete temporary layers

   Looks complicate, but if you create a few accessory functions, it is
fairly easy.

The procedure is not more comlex than what I am doing now in other places of the code.
I was not sure which layer new entities go to. But I will do as you suggest.
It will save me time avoiding repeatedly asking GiD to count the number of points in the model.

Unfortunately new GiD entities are not always created in the current 'layer to use'.
For example, when you divide a line in two sub-lines, this sub-lines are created in the same layer
as the initial one, not in the current layer to use.

Then is difficult for an script to know which are the new entities created by some operation, and with old entities are modified or
had been deleted.

I think that It's better to try to use the maximum identifier number: new entities will have bigger number that the maximum before
the operation (although as I said, maybe now some GiD procedure doesn't complain with this rule, but we are trying to correct this
cases)

Hi to everybody

I'm having some problem with Gid,
I imported a 3D mesh from nastran format, more than 1000000 cells, I used Tdyn Model, but when I Lunch the work after some minute in he outout info windows it's write:
Repeated index 1093604 in Plex NodeLink Elements, and the work is stopped.
The problem is that there are less than 500000 nodes ("Grid" in nastran format) in the mesh, and I checked in the mesh using the .txt wiew if the number 1093604 was repeated and it wasn't.
So can you told me the meaning of the write that appears on the output info windows and hep me?

Thanks very much.

It seems that the message "Repeated index 1093604 in Plex NodeLink Elements, and the work is stopped." is raised by Tdyn, probably
because the GiD mesh has some problem, but it's impossible to know what this problem is without check your model.

Try to repair the model (menu: Utilities->Repair model)

and to renumber it.
escape escape escape utilities renumber


Can you send us your nastran file and the GiD model?
(can try to send directly to escolano at cimne.upc.es )

Hi gid Team

There is some "progress".

I tried to collapse the mesh using the command mesh->edit mesh->collapse->mesh, after that the writing "Collapse mesh. Created -31139 elements and 0 nodes. Tolerance=0.000150" appears, so I lunched the work but in the view process info windows appears:

Probably some boundary condition or material is missing (because the collapse has deleted mesh entities) and must be assigned again
to nodes or elements.
Unassign all conditions, and assign again over the mesh entities (assing data directly over mesh can be very difficult, but you did
before, because you imported a mesh)

In any case, the  messages are written by the external CFD solver (Tdyn), not by GiD, contact somebody of Compass to ask this
question.
Have a look to the calculation dat file written by GiD to check if somehing seems wrong.

                              [GiDlist] Current project name forced short name like SPHERE~1

Send by: HEMMI, Shigeru
On: Thu Jul 12 08:01:01 CEST 2007



Dear GiD team,

I'm using GiD 8.0.4.

In executing an external program via "CALCULATE" menu, GiD manual says that
"%1 is the name of the current project (project_name)".

Within my short experience, current project name is
forced to short name like "SPHERE~1" though the original name is
"sphere_model". This is annoying me. Is there a way not using
short name?

I've tested this with some GiD versions, 
and the %2 and %3 model and problemtype paths are short names, 
but the %1 project_name parameter is not short.

e.g.
I tested a .bat file with this content: 
echo %1 > C:args.txt
echo %2 >> C:args.txt
echo %3 >> C:args.txt

And for a model named sphere_model I obtained a file C:args.txt with this:
sphere_model
C:	empSPHERE~1.GID
C:ARCHIV~1GiDGID80~1.9PROBLE~1ase.gid

Maybe is a problem related with  theJapanese encoding of your operating system.

Thanks for the reply.

I did the same test as you wrote. My C:args.txt is

SPHERE~1
C:cygwinhomec1544CRCSOL~3workSPHERE~1.GID
C:PROGRA~1CTCGID80~1.9PROBLE~1MagnaFEM3D_A-P~1.GID

FYI, the "true" %2 name for this case is
C:cygwinhomec1544crcsolverworksphere_model.gid
and my C-drive is NTFS, not FAT nor FAT32 formatted.

Further, for my another project, I got a "true" name for %1,
my C:args.txt is
ConstFieldByT0Tetra
C:cygwinhomec1544CRCSOL~3workCONSTF~1.GID
C:PROGRA~1CTCGID80~1.9PROBLE~1MagnaFEM3D_A-P~1.GID

I am not sure why my %1 is short name for the first case,
though I do not believe with that the cause came from theJapanese encoding.
It seems difficult to fix this problem within short term.

   If you need a workaround, insert the following text in the .bat file:

--------------------------------------------
rem    OutputFile: %2\%1.info
rem    ErrorFile: %2\%1.err
rem    WarningFile: %2\%1.war
tcl
foreach "- - basename dir problemtypedir - more_files" $argv break
set dir [file normalize $dir]
set problemtypedir [file normalize $problemtypedir]
----------------------------------------------

Note that command "tcl" is and extension to the MSDOS bat file language
for GiD. If this command is used, all the rest of the file is interpreted
as TCL commands instead of MSDOS commands.

In this situation, TCL variable "argv" contains all the arguments to
the .bat file and variable "dir" contains the expanded name of the  
directory.

set dir [lindex [file split [file normalize $dir]] end]
set problemtypedir [file normalize $problemtypedir]

Hello Gerhard,

The biggest file i worked with was around 1.5 GBytes big and GiD could read
it and postprocess it. I don't know how the Zlib (which GiD uses to compress
the binary files) works with files bigger than 2GBytes. But for the message
you sent, I would tip for an error inside the file.

¿Can you put the file in a place where I can download it and check it?
If you prefer, you can send me the details to my direct mail:
miguel at cimne.upc.edu.
Thanks,

Miguel Pasenau

Hello Miguel,

the computation is still running. I computed 475 of 700 steps.
As soon as the simulation finished i can put the results on our homepage.

If you want i can put the results so far on the web.
The last data field inside that result file is of course not complete.
But i got the reading error already after the 66 step and i already
computed 475.

If you assume an error in the result file it should be near the step 66.
Sadly i can not check the result file because i use binary format.
Do you now a way to check the binary result file?

Hi,
If the error is already at step 66, you can i can already look into the file
although the simulation is not finished.
If you post a link I'll download it and take a look.
The only way is to run gid in debug mode and see where the problem is.

Hallo all,

I would need to write in the bas file the geometric properties of points, lines, surfaces and volumes instead of nodes and elements. Something like this:

*loop points
   *PointsNum *PointsCoord
*end

*loop lines
   *LinesNum *LinesConec
*end

and so on.

At the moment seems not possible...
What about a future development?

Thanks,

    Andrea,

    The solution to your problem depends a lot on what you exactly need. If  
you
need the full geometry information, you have several options:

    - Files->Export->IGES

    - Files->Export->DXF

    - Files->Export->Text data report

    - Files->Export->ASCII project

    All information is there, in different formats. The difficulty here is  
the
complexity of the geometry description.

    As an alternative, you can generate a mesh that reflects exactly your  
geometry
needs.

    I cannot help you anymore without knowing more details in your exact  
needs.

Hallo Ramon,

thanks for your quick reply. My problem is very simple:
I would like to write a geometry (and not a mesh) into an ANSYS input file
having the possibility to modify it manually in the file itself without coming back to GiD.
To this purpose, I think the best solution could be what I wrote in the first post:
*loop points
   *PointsNum *PointsCoord
*end
and so on.

By generating a mesh that reflects exactly my geometry sometimes, the generated mesh is not exactly
what I want to obtain, especially using 2D and 3D elements.

Hi Andrea,

You can't access directly to the geometric model from the .bas file, but it's possible to do it from Tcl scripting level (you can
invoke a Tcl procedure from the bas file with the *tcl command)

You can write a <problemtype>.tcl file with some tcl procedures to return the information you want to write for ANSYS.

Hi GiD-Team,

i have a question concerning an error that occours during mesh generation.

I created a 3d modell with structured volume mesh and one structured
surface mesh. During the mesh generation GiD stop and tells me about the
following error:

  Error in GiveSurfElem. plexsize=8 num=2

Afterwards GiD quits and somehow destroys the .gidDefaults file in a way
that GiD starts without any toolbars.

Can you tell me what the above messages tries to tell me?

Thanks in advance

Can you send us this model to fix this bug? (directly to escolano at cimne.upc.edu or abelcs at cimne.upc.edu )

Maybe the problem is corrected in the last GiD beta version 8.1.4b

Hi,

Im having real problem with the new version of GiD on my PC. I thought I 
had fixed the problem with the post process colour mapping causing a 
crash by updating the driver.

Now Gid will not even strart, all a get is a blank window with no menu 
and whenever I click anywhere with the mouse I get a tcl script error

bad window path name ".gid.comm.e"
    while executing
"focus -force .gid.comm.e"
    (command bound to event)

Gid works fine on a colleugues Nvidia card but unfortunately Im the one 
who has to use Gid.

Any ideas

Find the file 'gid.ini' and delete it.
(it must be located at something like C:Documents and Settings<your user>Program DataGiDgid.ini)
Note: The 'Program Data' folder is hidden by default

This file will be automatically rebuilt with default values when you start GiD.

If do you continue with problems with the graphic card, deactivate the hardware acceleration from Windows:
Screen properties - Configuration - Advanced options - Solve problems ,
and set the Hardware acceleration to None.

It's not necessary to modify any script.

You can define your own color scale. menu: Options->Contour->Color window...
Select "color map"  "User defined", 
can set the number of key colors that you want and which this colors are (by clicking the square showing the color)

Also you can show a ranges of results with associated names. 
This ranges can be pre-defined inside the results file 
(see help on POSTPROCESS DATA FILES, Postprocess results format, Result Range Table), 
or theycan be defined at runtime from  the menu: Window->Results ranges table...

Hi,

I actually use GiD 8.1.5b on Linux (Linux linux-q6xm 2.6.18.8-0.5-default #1 
SMP). When GiD is launched it is unable to identify a usb port or something 
else and thus, unable to be used as a professional version. 

After selecting the Register GiD from the help menu, GiD gives the warning 
message:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Couldn't find /proc/bus/usb/devices:
   No such file or directory.

If it is not present, please as root try:
   mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
and start GiD again with the usb memory key 
connected.
If it works, consider adding following line 
to your '/etc/fstab' file:
   usbfs   /proc/bus/usb   usbfs   noauto   0 0

This way it is automatically mounted every 
time the machine is started.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Then I close GiD and type the command: mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
After, everything is OK.

The problem is that the line "usbfs   /proc/bus/usb   usbfs   noauto   0 0" is 
already in the fstab file. What can I do to make my usb port detected at the 
beginning.

Thanks a lot,

If this device is not mounted with the line of the 'etc/fstab' then starting your system,
can you try to simply add
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
to the script that starts GiD, to be mounted before run GiD.

                  [GiDlist] 3D structured mesh with tetrahedron

Send by: Daniel Marceau
On: Fri Aug 3 00:17:01 CEST 2007



Hi,

I got a surprising results during meshing of a simple 3D rectangular plate 
with tetrahedrons. The mesh is structured according to a uniform distribution 
of elements along the three cartesian directions. If the option Normal is 
specified as the Quadratic element option, I got 600 tetrahedrons and 1155 
nodes. If I specify Quadratic, I got 2400 tetrahedron and 678 nodes.

This is totally different from the behaviour during meshing using hexahedron. 
The same number of element is obtain for both Normal and Quadratic option. 
Only the number of nodes is modified.

After some search in the preference menu, I switch off the option Symmetrical 
structured tetrahedra in the mesh sub-menu. This change as fix the problem. 

 My question is: 
	- Why this option only applied to Normal interpolation and is inactive for 
Quadratic and Quadratic9

A similar option (Symmetrical structured triangle) performs a good behaviour 
on both Normal, Quadratic and Quadratic9 interpolation for triangle.

Thanks,
Daniel Marceau

                  [GiDlist] Problem using post-processing

Hi,

I'm actually using :

GiD internal version: 8.1.5b
Operating system: 'x86_64' 'unix' 'Linux' '2.6.18.8-0.5-default'

I'm using GiD to solve a simple mechanical problem but I'm enable to see 
results in post-processing mode in GiD. It seems that the quadrature rules 
used in my code are not supported by GiD. Coulds you tell me more details 
aboit the note display in the help menu explaining the "Postprocess results 
format: ProjectName.post.res, ProjectName.flavia.res" :

-------------------------------------------------
Note: 
 If the natural coordinates used are the internal ones, almost all the Results 
visualization possibilities will have some limitations for tetrahedra and 
hexahedra with more than one gauss points. If the natural coordinates are 
given, these limitations are extended to those elements with 
number_gauss_points_per_element not included in the list written above.             
-------------------------------------------------

Also, I use an hexahedron quadratic mesh (H20) created in GiD to solve a 
problem using the linear version of this mesh (H8). In this way, the results 
in the result file are those at vertices (the 12 other nodes are not included 
in the result file). In post-processing mode, I'm unable to see these 
results. According to this problem, What is the sense of this note in the 
help:

-------------------------------------------------
Holes are allowed in any result. The element nodes with no result defined will 
not be drawn, i.e. they will appear transparent. 
-------------------------------------------------

Is the element nodes with no result can be skipped from the result file or 
not ? 

As I can see, the hexahedra of 20 nodes in postprocess are supported since 
version 8.1.2b
         
Thanks,
Daniel Marceau

P.S. the result and mesh files are attached.

Your attachment was removed by security issues.
Please, can you send again your sample, compressed as a .zip file with single extension for the name (e.g. avoid something like
sample.gid.zip, use only sample.zip).

About your questions:
If you define 'results on gauss points', then the results drawn are not continuous between neighbour elements
Results are extrapolated from the gauss points to the nodes of the element. This extrapolation to nodes is not always possible in
the same way, depending of the number and location of gauss points.
for example, for 1 gauss point, his value is used for all nodes. for the same number of nodes that gauss points, it's possible to
use the shape funcions to know the values on the nodes (solving a linear system).

Some features that works for nodal results, are not implemented yet for gaussian results for some type of elements.
Your code can directly extrapolate gaussian results, to nodes and write a 'nodal result', averaging the results of neighbour
elements to have a continuous result.

It's not compulsory to write the result of all nodes, maybe your result is not defined over a part of the mesh, then this
elements with undefined results are drawn transparent.

If you have a H20 mesh, but not define the result in the quadratic nodes, then each element has undefined results, and all are draw
transparent. You can write a .post.msh mesh with H8 linear hexahedra.

Hexahedra of 20 nodes are supported in posprocess, but maybe some gaussian result is not implemented yet. How many gauss points and
locations are you writting in the postprocess file?

Dear GiD,

I was trying to transfer my fortran code from compaq Visual fortran 6.6 to Intel IA-32 compiler v.10 (running on VS .net2005 platform). The problem is that the compiler can't interpret "gidost.lib" from the previous version. Do you have some experience on that matter? Thank you.

Hello Adisorn, we have not tested that situation.

We need you to answer a few question in order to diagnose the problem:

- what is the version of gidpost?

- what does the compiler say when it try to use gidpost.lib?

- did you build gidpost.lib?

                              [GiDlist] Dividing the problem into different layers according to the different materials

Send by: HEMMI, Shigeru
On: Wed Aug 8 07:34:02 CEST 2007



Hello GiD team,

I want to do
"dividing the problem into different layers according to the different
materials" for a .post.msh file which I created using my simple mesh
generator (not a generated mesh of GiD).
In GiD manual (Files>Import>Gid mesh...), it says GiD offers the possibility
to do this. However, I struggled for an hour, I was not able to do it.
Please let me know the point which describes how to do it in the manual.

For testing, I have been using a small size of .post.msh shown below.
In real problem, however, mesh size is large and it is very hard to select
elements within mouse operation.

It exists an special command to send the elements with a material number to 
the desired layer, but it's necessary to manually say for each material 
number the layername to be sent.

This command not very common, it's a little hidden and undocumented.

Thanks,

but it seems somthing misunderstood or something incorrect.
(Sorry if the cause was my English)

The "right buttons" command you wrote
"escape View Layers <layername> <material number>"
did not work for me.

On the other hand, I found a workaround:
1. Import .post.msh and then export it as a NASTRAN format.
2. Re start new GiD window, and then import NASTRAN file.
GiD creates new layers named CHEXA_Pid_1 and CHEXA_Pid_2 for such a
NASTRAN file automatically. This feature is nice and I hope Cimne to add such 
a feature in importing externally created GiD mesh file.

The correct command is:
" escape escape escape escape"
As much escapes as you need for get to initial menu and then:
" View Layers Material <layer name> <Number of material whose entities will 
be assignad to Layer> "
Note: <layer name> have to be an existing  layer.

We don't want to automatically create layers for the materials of the GiD 
mesh ASCII file.

Probably a good option is to enhance the "View Layers Material <layername> 
<material number>" command, with an "Automatic" sub-command to automatically 
create as layers as necessary, and send to this layers the entities.

Note: It's possible to create a macro to do the same, without expect a new 
GiD version with this feature.

                              [GiDlist] How to get variables via tcl-Routines?

Send by: Frithjof Pasenow
On: Wed Aug 15 16:50:02 CEST 2007



Sorry, I think I was a little bit to fast. Original Message:

Hi,

i wrote a tcl-Routine to get the number of nodes of the linear elements 
in the mesh. Therefore I want to loop over all nodes:

*set var ndifnum = 0
*loop nodes
*if(*tcl(NumIfaceNodes *NodesNum) == 1)
*set var ndifnum = operation(ndifnum+1)
*end nodes

with the following tcl-Routine:

proc NumIfaceNodes { NodesNum } {
  foreach elem [GiD_Info mesh elements Linear 1 end -sublist] {
        set num [lindex $elem 0]
        set nodes [lrange $elem 1 end-1]
        foreach node $nodes {
              lappend ifacenodes $node
        }
  }
  set boolean 0
  foreach node $ifacenodes {
        if {$NodesNum==$node} {set boolean 1}
  }
  return [expr {$boolean}]
}

But it doesn't work. I've tried the routine in a few different ways, but 
I can't get a variable in the bas-datei via tcl-Routine. Do you have any 
idea?

Thanks in advance

                              [GiDlist] Meshing the volume og a 3D model

Send by: Abel Coll
On: Fri Aug 17 10:34:02 CEST 2007



Dear Javier,

 

The problem is in surface number 22. If you see in detail this surface (in
render mode), or the mesh of this surface, you will see that it has a
strange shape that probably is not the shape you want for it. 

 

I don’t know if this geometry has been created with GiD or has been imported
from another CAD, but if you delete this surface and you try to reconstruct
it with GiD the problem still remains. This is because of the configuration
of the contour lines of the surface (very long in one direction and curved).

 

I think the best option is to try to construct different surfaces (in the
long direction, dividing the contour lines) instead of only one, to
represent this piece of model. In this case, each surface to be constructed
will have its contour lines closer, so as it will be easier to GiD to
construct the surfaces.

 

Regards,

 

                                                                        ABEL

Dear Abel,

Thank you for your quick reply. The model geometry was imported into Gid from an iges file.
In fact, by dividing the troubled surface into small ones I managed to mesh the model.

A request
When will GiD incorporate those useful features in form of makros such a extrude or hole creation in volumes?.
Until  now the only way I know to perform these tasks is by using "Volume boolean substraction" which is not always very reliable.

Dear Javier,

You are right, meanwhile the only way to create a hole in a existing volume is using the boolean operations.
A reliable way to work, maybe not useful in your case, is to work with surfaces and lastly create the volume by contour.

Send by: Pablo Cuéllar
On: Fri Aug 24 10:40:02 CEST 2007



Dear people of GiD,

 

I think I am experiencing the same problem. I am trying to use the library
“gidpost.lib” within my fortran project, compiling it with the Intel IA-32
compiler (v.9.1 running on VS2005).

 

I am using the version 1.70 of gidpost. When I build the library the
compiler produces lots of warnings (deprecation), but still works.

 

The problem comes when I build my project and include the library. Seems
like the linker cannot find the functions inside the library, although it is
definitely included in the project.

 

Building the project with the /VERBOSE option produces the following log
(shortened here for the sake of readability):

Hello Adisorn, we have not tested that situation.
 
We need you to answer a few question in order to diagnose the problem:
 
- what is the version of gidpost?
 
- what does the compiler say when it try to use gidpost.lib?
 
- did you build gidpost.lib?

Dear GiD Team:

                              [GiDlist] Question about GiD_Geometry

Send by: Martin Meiler
On: Fri Aug 31 14:13:02 CEST 2007



Hi GiD-Team,

i am having problems understanding the syntax of the

   GiD_Geometry create

command.

In case of point and line the syntax is quite easy. I think even the 
syntax for volumes may be understandable but i can not understand how to 
use the

   GiD_Geometry create surface ...

syntax.

As the help says

GiD_Geometry create surface <num>|append nurbssurface layer numlines 
u_degree v_degree numpoints_u           numpoints_v istrimmed isrational 
{line1 verso1} ... {point1_x point1_y point1_z           ?point1_w?} ... 
knot_u_1 ... knot_v_1 ...

should create new surfaces, but i do not understand quite a lot of these 
parameters, including

  * u_degree
  * v_degree
  * numpoints_u
  * numpoints_v
  * {line1 verso1}
  * {point1_x point1_y point1_z ?point1_w?}
  * knot_u_1 ... knot_v_1 ...

Maybe you have some examples for i.e., creating a rectangle, triangle, 
5-sided polygon, or even better a detailed syntax of each parameter.


Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Martin

Hi Martin,
you are trying to create a NURBSurface

Hi Adrià,

thanks for these hints, but what i am trying to do is
  1. to create a surface by Tcl-Scripting and
  2. to obtain the surface nr. of the surface that has
     just been created from GiD

the GiD_Geometry commands return the nr. of the created entities. So 
what i want to do, is
  1. to create a surface directly from coordinates i provide or
  2. to create a surface from line numbers i provide

GiD_Geometry create Surface

should be able to do this, but i do not understand the syntax of this 
command.

I understood some things of how to use u and v as parameters from 
creating a surface, but there are still a lot of things not clear to me

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

The collapse command can merge geometric or mesh entities.
(Geometry->Edit->Collapse...)
(Mesh->Edit mesh->Collapse...)
 
To set the distance between points/nodes to be merged go to Utilities->preferences - Exchange - Import tolerance 
 
In general the recommended way is to correct the geometric model, and then generate the mesh, avoiding a direct mesh edition.
 
About your batch file, I think that instead to create polylines, it's better to create smooth NURBS curves intepolating your coordinates.

Hello, we can't reproduce the geometry from the batch file you provided. 
The reason is the following:

In some place you try to create a NurbSurface

escape escape escape escape geometry create NurbsSurface
1
255
315
65

but at that point the lines 1, 255, 315 and 65  does not exists.

Checking the file we see this

  escape escape escape escape geometry create polyline
          1
          2
          3
          4
          5
          6
          7
          8
          9
         10
         11
         12

the previous script will create a new polyline with a new number asigned 
and the lines entities 1,...,12 will be removed, so you can not make 
further reference to the line number 1. The same happens with the rest 
of line numbers.

Normally you should not have to collapse nodes in the mesh. GiD will 
generate in the mesh two distinct nodes with the same coordinates if the 
are two distinct points in the geometry model having the same coordinates.

                                                      [GiDlist] Meshing two domains with commom interface

Send by: Marcotte, Jean-Philippe
On: Mon Dec 3 18:46:01 CET 2007



Hi all,

I'd like to mesh two domains, let say domain1 and domain2 that are side by side (both domains have
a common interface, there is no space between the boxes), as follow:

      domain1     domain2
      ________ ________
     /              /             /|
    /_______ /_______ /  |
    |             |             |   |
    |             |             |  /
    |_______ |_______ |/
            common
            interface

I would like to impose boundary condition on both common faces, but in the same time I want the
mesh to be the same at the interface (same surface mesh).

If I generate the mesh directly, the two volumes are meshed independently and the surface meshes at
interfaces are not necessarily the same.

To make sure that I have the same mesh at interface, I collapse the model so that one of the common
surfaces is deleted.   But now I can not impose anymore the two surface boundary condition I need,
since I only have one surface left.

Note: In other mesh software I used, the way I was solving this problem was to collapse the common
surfaces, then create the mesh, then copy the mesh of domain2 to create new interface elements
(allowing duplicate entities) and then remove old mesh of domain2...  Then I have two new "independent"
meshes with same interface elements and I can apply boundary conditions of each domain...  I tried the
same method in GiD, but once I have the new mesh, I is difficult to apply boundary condition on elements
faces.


Does anyone have a suggestion to help me?

Thanks!

Dear GiD team,

I am a Japanese user and I know GiD can customize menus and messages to
Japanese language after selecting language from preference menu.
However, please note Japanese word is not unique if one moves from
structural problem to electro-magnetic problem. For example,
"T0" means initial temperature in structure engineering but "T0" means
a kind of applied external condition in electromagnetism.
As such, I request GiD can choose one japanese translation table
from several japanse translation tables (I.e., I wish users can choose
one of  ja.msg, ja_EM.msg, ja_foo.msg...).

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Wed Dec 12 11:33:02 CET 2007



Hello,

Sorry by the delay but the GiD list had several problems.

Do you have two approaches:
1- A single surface shared by both volumes
2- Two different surfaces, and some restriction to create the 'same nodes' for this surfaces (two nodes but in the same location)

I recommend you the first approach because it can be difficult to handle a complicated shape with overlapped entities.
(in any case you can try to force the same mesh creating a GiD contact volume)

The problem for you is the definition of conditions.

Instead to use the same condition name for both surfaces, maybe you can declare two different conditions, something like this

CONDITION: Surface_C1
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements
CANREPEAT: No
QUESTION: Some_Field
VALUE: 0
...
END CONDITION

CONDITION: Surface_C2
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements
CANREPEAT: No
QUESTION: Some_Field
VALUE: 0
...
END CONDITION

Note the line
CANREPEAT: No  
Because this declaration (is the default option), this condition can't be repeated twice on th same entity. If you try to assign again, the previous one is ovewritten.


Another option is to declare only one condition, but declare that can be repeated multiple times over the same entity, something like this

CONDITION: Surface_C
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements multiple
CANREPEAT: Yes
QUESTION: Some_Field
VALUE: 0

END CONDITION

Dear Hemmi,
 
 We know that the same sentence can have different meanings depending on the context.
 
 Our approach is to add to the english-like source string an special suffix to specify this context:
 This suffix is 
 #C#context_comment
 (Off course the suffix is hidden to the final user)
 
 e.g, the word "translation" can be "a movement from a point to another", or "the word in another language"
 In some context, you use
 [_ "Translation#C#displacement"]
 and in another
 [_ "Translation#C#language"]
 
 The GiD strings (marked with [_ ] ) are our responsibility, and we must provide its message catalog in 
 scripts/msgs/ja.msg
 On the other hand, each problemtye is responsible of their own strings, and can use its own message catalogs 
 /problemtype/yourproblemtype/msgs/ja.msg
 (this message translations are read when loading the problemtype)

Dear Enrique Escolano,

Thanks for the answer.

However, I still have a problem.
I put a ja.msg of my own at /problemtype/yourproblemtype/msgs/ja.msg,
( I also tried it at /problemtype/yourproblemtype/scripts/msgs/ja.msg)
newly placed ja.msg did not affect GiD menu.
Of course I replace the string "yourproblemtype" with my own string
for this test.

Whats wrong with me?

If both /scripts/msgs/ja.msg and /problemtype/yourproblemtype/msgs/ja.msg
co-exist, which one does GiD read first? Does GiD read both?

Hi All,

to produce a mesh with a layer of  elements of uniform thickness near to
the boundaries for use in a K-E turbulence model. I have managed to hand
craft a mesh in structured elements but this takes much time & isn't
easy to regenerate if I wish to modify a dimension, are there any tips/
practical methods for automatically generating structured or
unstructured meshes for this type of problem. Is it possible to define
geometry using parametric parameters in GiD?

Dear Mark,

I'm Abel Coll, and I'm part of the GiD developer team. 

We are developeing a Boundary Layer Mesher inside GiD, which will work in 2d
and 3d. I think it will be available in the next beta version of GiD, which
will problably be released in one or two weeks, so you will be able to
generate automatically the boundary layer mesh without the necessity of
handing with the geometry to make structured meshes.

Dear Mark,

I'm Abel Coll, and I'm part of the GiD developer team. 

We are developeing a Boundary Layer Mesher inside GiD, which will work in 2d and 3d. I think it will be available in the next beta version of GiD, which will problably be released in one or two weeks, so you will be able to generate automatically the boundary layer mesh without the necessity of handing with the geometry to make structured meshes.

Regards,

								ABEL

                  [GiDlist] Problem with GiD-List/ Problem with PasServer 2.0 for Suse Linux 10.2 (64Bit)

Send by: Karsten Quint
On: Wed Dec 12 14:17:02 CET 2007



Dear Gid-Team,

We just bought an additional licence of gid that we plan on running as
floating licence with your passerver software. Unfortunately there is no
passerver version for 64-bit Linux available for download. When we run the
32-bit version
(ftp://gatxan.cimne.upc.es/pub/gid_adds/PasServer/Passerver2.0-linux-i386-ke
rnel2.6) we get the following error message:

ifm-pc80:/home/GID/Passerver2.0 # ./passerver-conf Speicherzugriffsfehler
(Segmentation-fault)

Here is the answer of uname –a:
(Linux ifm-pc80 2.6.18.8-0.7-default #1 SMP Tue Oct 2 17:21:08 UTC 2007
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Running the program on a different machine with Suse Linux 10.0 produced the
same error message (uname answer: Linux ifm-pc42 2.6.13-15.18-smp #1 SMP Tue
Oct 2 17:36:20 UTC 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)

Thank you very much for your kind help

Karsten Quint

Thanks again Enrique, but I'm still confusing.

I attach a simple example: 
It is a simple problemtype named 'translation.gid', with a conditions file that has a condition named 'test' with a field named 'Point'

I used RamTranslator to scan then messages to be translated for this problemtype, I translated them to japanese
Point --> ポイント〔点〕
and I saved it in the test.xml database. Finally I exported the message catalog ja.msg to the /msgs folder.

When you load this problemtype in GiD it automatically read this /msgs/ja.msg (without replace the ja.msg messages owned by GiD)
if you change to Japanese language, can see the effects:

Note: can invoke a tcl command in the lower command line with the syntax: -np- "tcl command" 
If you write:

-np- WarnWinText [_ "Point"]
will return the GiD message: ポイント

-np- WarnWinText [= "Point"]
will return the problemtype message: ポイント〔点〕

The must not add the [=  ] command to the .cnd, .mat, .prb. GiD implicitly knows that its questions and names are property of the problemtype,
on the other hand, if your problemtype has tcl code .tcl then inside this code you must mark the strings to be 
translated (and to be found by ramtranslator) with [= "your text"]

Dear Enrique,

Thank you very much for your reply and your patience.
I am very sorry this email is late; I was busy for days.

In conclusion, I found that the place of msgs was wrong.
My wrong directory tree was:
├─MyApp
│  ├─images
│  ├─msgs
│  ├─MyAppSub1.gid
│  ├─MyAppSub2.gid
│  └─scripts
└─translation.gid
    └─msgs

Probably, the right directory structure should be:
├─MyApp
│  ├─images
│  ├─MyAppSub1.gid
│  │  └─msgs
│  ├─MyAppSub2.gid
│  │  └─msgs
│  └─scripts
└─translation.gid
    └─msgs

And I also learned the role of RamTranslator and the [=  ] command should
be used only in .tcl file.

Thank you again,

Regards,

                  [GiDlist] gidpos and binary file

Send by: dmarceau
On: Fri Dec 14 03:17:03 CET 2007



Hi,

I use gidpost in my FE code since the last 3 years. Recently, I've change to 
binary file, including both mesh and results in the same file. The problem is 
that GiD (last Windows and Linux beta version) gives a segmentation fault 
during the loading phase...

Here is included a typical binary file.

Thanks to give me some hints about this problem.
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

If I try to read your example with the last Window beta version (8.1.6b x32 bit)
It doesn't crash, but it raise an error message:

Error reading file .../Solution.post.res':
PlainDeformationMatrix result 'E-firstlayer' of analysis 'Exportation', step '0' Gauss points 'IntegrationGroup-Shell-Quadrangle'
not defined, .

Are you sure that this gauss points are previously defined by your code for the results file?
Do you have also and updated gidpost library source code? (some bugs had been solved)

If your gidpost is updated, and the ASCII results works well but the Binary results not, please, send us the
same result file with ASCII and binary format, to try to repeat the eror.

Regards

Enrique

Hello Enrique,

The problem is solved. The segmentation fault on Linux was cause by the bad 
definition of the gauss point...

I actually use the version of gidpost (1.70). Is the release number updated 
when bugs are fixed? Version 1.70 is available since a long time.

Thanks,
Daniel
