[GiDlist] Output varies with folder name, a bug?
Send by: Jian Zou Hi, all When I invoke Gid (in batch mode with gid.exe -b batch.bch -n) from folders with different names, I found that the result is slightly different. For example, with attached batch file 1. under E:a, type c:Program FilesGiDgid.exe -b temp.bch -n 2. under E:a1, type c:Program FilesGiDgid.exe -b temp.bch -n I found that the two output file (see attached result.zip) are different, i.e. the meshing result varies when the folder name contains number (or characters other than letters). Is this a known bug? I am using GiD 9 under windows XP. By the way, it seems that the problem could be solved if gid.exe has been put under PATH.

[GiDlist] Output varies with folder name, a bug?
Send by: Enrique Escolano I think that the result of the mesh doesn't depend on the current
directory!!
and it doesn't matter if GiD is on the PATH because your are specifying the
full path to GiD "c:Program FilesGiDgid.exe"
Are you completely sure that do you have exactly the same file 'temp.bch' on
both directories E:a emp.bch and E:a1 emp.bch ?
And are you sure that the 'gid.ini' file that store the gid preferences
(meshing preferences also) is the same between both runs?
(maybe the first batch changed some setting, or you started GiD as user and
changed something (gid.ini is saved to disk when exiting GiD)
Note: The location of 'gid.ini' depends of your platform and username
e.g. for Windows Vista is at C:Users<username>AppDataRoamingGiDgid.ini
and for XP is at C:Documents and settings<username>Application

[GiDlist] Re: Output varies with folder name, a bug?
Send by: Jian Zou Hi Enrique,
Thank you for the reply.
Attached please find the input batch (temp.bch.gz) I used for testing
and output (result.zip, including gid.ini). You will see that temp.bch
and gid.ini are the same for the two test (I am running the test in
batch mode directly from command line with -b -n option), but the
meshing results (temp.gid.msh) are slightly different.
I have to say once again that I found this problem under WindowsXP and
GiD-9.0.4, and gid.exe is referenced by its full path. If gid.exe is
under the PATH and I invoke by using gid -b temp.bch -n (ie. without
specifying the full path), E:a and E:a1 produce identical results.
GiD-8.0.6 is OK.
Regards,
Jian

[GiDlist] Re: Output varies with folder name, a bug?
Send by: Enrique Escolano are you sure that the gid.ini is the same when running both cases? 0. copy to a temporary folder "gid.ini" from "C:Documents and settings<username>Application DataGiDgid.ini" 1. under E:a, type "C:Program FilesGiDgid.exe" -b temp.bch -n 2 restore "gid.ini" from your temporary copy (the last gid.exe could have changed it) 3. under E:a1, type "C:Program FilesGiDgid.exe" -b temp.bch -n and compare if both meshes are equal I am trying to repeat it, but in my tests I am obtaining always the same result! I think that the problem is related to the content of the gid.ini, that has the variables GIDDEFAULT and GIDDEFAULTTCL and in your case are pointing to a GiD different of the 9.0.4 that you use for the batchs, located at "c:Program FilesGiD" and the variables in your gid.ini point to GIDDEFAULT "D:/apps/GiD" GIDDEFAULTTCL "D:/apps/GiD/scripts" This GIDDEFAULT and GIDDEFAULTTCL gid.ini settings are deprecated, and we definitely ignored them everywere in the last beta version 9.2.5b I think that you can avoid the problem removing this two lines from your gid.ini or setting tjhem to the appropiated GiD path GIDDEFAULT "C:/Program Files/GiD" GIDDEFAULTTCL "C:/Program Files/GiD/scripts" or updating to the 9.2.5b beta version ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jian Zou" <...

Send by: fsalazar at cimne.upc.edu Good morning, and happy new year! My question is related to the way of working with Gis files in GiD (shp, lyr, tin). I need to create a model from topographic data in Gid format. I've downloaded it and I've worked with it using ArcGis. I know there is an option in GiD to import shape files. I tried and it worked, but the polylines don't have elevation. Of course, I can move them to their right position, but it would be a hard work. Besides, given that the shape files have polylines with elevation, after importing them to GiD I should create new lines to have closed surfaces, and after that mesh them. It is possible to create a triangulation (TIN) in Gid. I wonder if importing the TIN to GiD would be possible, so that I would already have a surface and could directly mesh it. I know that GiD is being used as pre and post processor for CARPA, which has to deal with similar topographic data. I suppose that people working with this software will have found similar problems to create their models, and that there has to be an appropiate way of creating a GiD model from Gis data. Thanks!

If the problems persists with the last beta, send me the .shp example (directly to escolano at cimne.upc.edu) GiD doesn't import TIN files (I think that is not an stadarized format, send also this file to have a look to its format), maybe you can export this triangulation in another format like stl or vrml Regards Enrique ----- Original Message ----- From: fsalazar at cimne.upc.edu... [GiDlist] Re: Output varies with folder name, a bug? (GiD-9.0.4)
Send by: Jian Zou Hi Enrique, That's exactly what I did. The inconsistency between "C:Program Files" and "D:..." comes from the fact that I moved GiD to another folder with simpler name. Actually, there is no change in gid.ini before and after the batch run with -b -n. Anyway, I can reproduce the event with GiD-9.0.4 from two different PC. Yet GiD-8.0.6 produces identical meshing no matter what is the folder's name. Regards, Jian On Sat, Jan 9, 2010 at 7:01 PM, <gidlist-request at gatxan.cimne.upc.edu> wrote: > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

(e.g. always from E:a) Have you tried with the 9.2.5b beta version? (as I explained, we did some changes related to the GIDDEFAULT gid.ini setting) Regards Enrique ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jian Zou" <... [GiDlist] Output varies with folder name, a bug? (GiD-9.0.4)
Send by: Jian Zou Hi Enrique, I got something more interesting after GiD-9.2.5b is installed. 1. I can run gid.exe successfully from StartMenu-Run or cygwin, yet fail to do so when I use cmd.exe: it says I need to set Env-variable GIDDEFAULT to the path of executables. While, gid.exe is in my PATH already. 2. When I use the full path, it generates mesh, but some error occurs (seems like a memory dump or conflict). When run from GUI, everything is fine and the meshing is the same as the one generated from cmd-line (different from GiD-8 or Gid-9.0.x). Anyway, I totally agree with what you said (some location dependent random number may be involved). Thank you so much again for your kindly help and suggestion. Regards, Jian >...

Send by: Miguel Adolfo Pasenau de Riera Hello, there was a bug in gid when the names of the groups has spaces. This has been solved. Until we make public the next version, you can try not using spaces in the group's name. Another advice is that all the results of one mesh group should be specified inside a single 'Ongroup--end ongroup' block. In your example your have declared several 'Ongroup--end ongroup' blocks: onGroup "step 0" Result "unoda0" "Load Analysis" 0 Scalar OnNodes ... end ongroup onGroup "step 0" Result "unodb0" "Load Analysis" 0 Vector OnNodes ... end ongroup onGroup "step 1" .. the correct way is: onGroup "step 0" Result "unoda0" "Load Analysis" 0 Scalar OnNodes ... Result "unodb0" "Load Analysis" 0 Vector OnNodes ... end ongroup onGroup "step 1" .. I send you enclosed your example patched. best regards, Miguel Pasenau -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Miguel Pasenau @: ... [GiDlist] Re: boundary faces

All remaining three surface load condition types were missing from the menu. Am I doing something wrong? I am using gid9.0.2-dyn-64 on Fedora 12, kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64, AMD Phenom Quad.

Send by: Josh K Hi all; I'm interested in modelling the heat-transfer characteristics of several building envelope designs. I'm attempting to use Elmer to do this, with GiD for the mesh. However, I'm having some serious problems creating a mesh. There are two elements of the construction (wall studs and z-girts, which are used to hold up insulation) that have very small cross-sections in directions orthogonal to one another and these seem to be the source of most of my problems. I've attempted to do an unstructured mesh of the entire assembly with a very small element size (1) with no success (ie, I get messages telling me the mesh creation failed). I've also tried just setting the sizes of potentially problematic elements of the construction (ie, the studs and z-girts) to this extremely small size and used more moderate sizes for the rest of the assembly, and this also hasn't worked. Finally, I've attempted to use a structured orthogonal mesh for the whole assembly, which seems as if it would work quite well because there are no non-orthogonal angles in the entire assembly, but a number of the volumes seem to resist being meshed in this fashion, with the "Centered Structured Mesh" dialogue popping up and non-orthogonal mesh resulting (and failing). So, I basically don't know what to do. I'm wondering if anyone has modelled anything similar to this, or could offer any hints regarding the approach I should take.

[GiDlist] Postprocess. Velocity distribution
Send by: fsalazar at cimne.upc.edu Good morming We are studying the flow of water through a pipe (in 3D) with PFEM. In order to evaluate the discharge in a section, we need to know the velicity distribution in that section. We have been serching for the rigt tool in GiD and we have got to the procedure I´m describing below. We would like to know if there could be an easier way to do this. We tried to make a cut in the section to analyze, and then to draw a line diagram following a diameter of this section, but it doesn't work (the message "Sorry, but a line graph could not be created" appears). So, we make as follows. - Transform the cut to a surface set (Do cuts/Convert cuts to surface sets). - Cut the new surface set created witha a diameter, so that we get half section (approximately, because it doesn't cut it in a straigth line). - Draw a border diagram, and extract the information along the diameter, discarding the nodes at the outside border of the pipe, whose velocity is zero. - Work with the data in EXCEL. This procedure takes some time, but is enough when the velocity distribution has radial symmetry. Otherwise we would need to repeat it cutting the setion in different directions. As I said before, we would like to know if there could be a better way to do this. In 2D, a line graph can be created directly over the surface layer of water, thus it is easier. Thanks.

Send by: Enrique Escolano Some comments:
1- You can use 'Line graph' to do a graph in a straight segment between two coordinates, without need to explicitly do the double cut.
(e.g. selecting two points of your diameter is what you want not?)
2- You can set the option: Do cuts->Automatically convert cut to set
Then all cuts are automatically converted to sets (as you know some utilities, like do another cut, are available for sets, but no for cuts)
3- We are adding to post tools to Integrate results along some meshes, without the need to export the graph to excel or other utiltites.
For next beta versions you will be able to integrate some result, like the velocity on a mesh (e.g. the velocity vector on a cutting section), or along a graph (e.g. the a velocity component along a diameter cut)

Send by: Enrique Escolano - The header file ot the library is necessary only for C/C++, FORTRAN doesn't use this headers. The problem probably is that your linker doesn't found the functions because of the 'decoration' of the names (e.g FORTRAN convert all names to capital letters), but depending on your compiler it can expect something other prefix or suffix, probably you can modify in your project the 'calling convention', or recompile the library with other settings. - your batch file can secuentially invoke several exes and the ouput of one could be input of another - GiD internally always work with 3D results, all 2D analysis are handled internally like 3D, you can't do nothing.

[GiDlist] Reg. Writing Results Using GidPost Lib
Send by: Shriram Hi,
I am trying to write stress results using the GiDpost library (in FORTRAN).
The command for writing a Plain Deformation Result is:
Call GiD_WritePlainDefMatrix(id, sxx, syy, szz, sxy) which writes the
result in the following form (the stresses are being written on the nodes so
length of 'sxx' is 4*nelem ):
Sxx Syy Szz Sxy
1 x x x x
2 x x x x
3 x x x x
4 x x x x . and so on
However, this result causes an error when the post.res file is read, because
the stresses should be written in the form of for gauss points:
1 x x x x
x x x x
x x x x
x x x x
2 x x x x . and so on
I am also unable to write the results in between according to my format, as
the post.res file created by GiD is read only and I cannot write to it by
writing to the post.res. Else I could have written in the above manner. One
way I tried was to close the post.res file using GiD_Closeresult command and
write to it. It works, but if I open the post.res again to write more using
the library, then GiD_Openresult command opens a new post.res file and all
the contents are erased.
Let me know how to fix it.
Thanks,
Shriram

I try to do this by the command : "Mescape Utilities Variables renumbermethod 1" at the command line and then Utilities -> Renumber. However, it doesn't happen all the time. Can you tell me how to get the nodes to follow element numbers when there is more than 1 surface? Is there a way to know where GiD puts the first node or it's random?

URL: ... [GiDlist] Node Numbering
Send by: Enrique Escolano About your questions:
1) You must not assume this fact, the elements are numbered when are generated, and when all meshers finish could be renumerated to avoid numeration jumps.
2) Not exists in GiD the renumeration "node numbering to follow element numbers sequentially", usally we renumber to avoid numeration jumps, and to have a low 'bandwith' (maximum difference of node's number for the worst element), to aid a little FEM direct LU like solvers with band or skyline storage.
This is the help about the current algorithms:
The nodes renumeration algorithm can be set with the variable 'RenumberMethod' (see Preferences)
Accepted values are:
-2 : Avoid nodes and elements renumeration, entities numbers are set increasingly when they are generated.
-1 : Avoid nodes renumeration, nodes numbers are set increasingly when they are generated
0 : Geometrical algorimth, ordered by the distance to some coordinate. It is the default value
1 : Reverse Cuthill-McKee algorimth, similar to the previous one, but following element's connectivities
2 : ordered following the XYZ axes, interesting for special cases with geometry aligned to the axes
Note: Negative numbers in this variable are understood as internal checks and tests, so they are not loaded from the model if it's meshing preferences are set.
You can implement a Tcl procedure to renumber the mesh with your own algoritm,
this renumeration can be automatically invoked from the GiD event
proc AfterMeshGeneration { fail } {
}
AfterMeshGeneration: will be called after the mesh generation. It receives as its fail argument a true value if the mesh is not created.

[GiDlist] Making Animations
Send by: Shriram Hi, I am performing a large deformation analysis which is nonlinear. So I will have displacement at different steps, say from 1-10 with the 10th step being the final deformed shape of the body. How do I prepare the post process file for proper animation of deformation in GiD? - Should I print the nodal coordinates or the displacements at each step (in vector result header)? I want to investigate how the body deforms in the post processor - Since there can be many time steps with significant amount of nodes, the .post file can be quite big. Is that of any concern for post-processing by GiD? For e.g. I am looking at 'x' and 'y' values for about 8000 nodes with about 10-20 steps. I am asking these issues before hand, so that I can code accordingly. Thanks, Shri -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: ... [GiDlist] Making Animations
Send by: Enrique Escolano Each result of the .post.res results file has a 'time step' field to store a real number (e.g. time or step number). For each time step you must write a result with the 'displacement' of the nodes (the difference between the final and initial position) Then you can show an animation along the time in postprocess using the Window->Animation... tool 8000 nodes with 20 time steps is a moderated size result, you can handle it with GiD without problems. It is recommended to write the .post.res in binary format to have smaller files and to be read faster. Using our gidpost library swap from ASCII to binary compressed is easy : invoke the GiD_OpenPostMeshFile command with the parameter GiD_PostBinary instead GiD_PostAscii Enrique ----- Original Message ----- From: Shriram To: ...

Send by: Dau Nguyen Van Dear members,
In using gid, I set the view mode to multiple windows (NewWin 2LR) and my questions are:
1) How to change from one window to another? I try to click on the wanted window, but I does not seem to work. When I try to view new result, gid always plots on the (default?) window on the left.
2) How to print multiple windows using "Print to files" ? I use this but in the image file the 2 windows show identical pictures, despite the fact that on the screen I have multiple windows mode and the 2 windows show different pictures
Could any one help me?
Many thanks in advance,

I am a civil engineer from a construction company in Sao Paulo (Brazil). We would like to use different finite-element codes (one for more daily basic analysis, other for more refined ones), but having always the same pre-processor and post-processor.
So, I am considering to use GID as pre-processor and post-processor, and the code Strap, from ATIR, as the main processor. Does anybody know if is it posssible? Has anybody already done it?

[GiDlist] TCL Extension Commands
Send by: Shriram Hi, I wanted to know if the commands listed in the chapter "TCL/TK Extension" in the reference manual has all the complete listing of commands. I am asking this because, in the "caltep2000.tcl" from the problemtype Caltep 2000 the following commands are used: GidChangeDataLabel ,GidAddUserDataOptions, GidOpenConditions etc. I could not find these commands in the reference manual. If I try to use these, then it doesn't work properly as I don't have the reference to complete syntax to these commands. Please let me know how I can have access to all the commands. Where can I find the syntax for commands like these? Maybe I am not using the proper manual or not searching for commands properly. Thanks, P.S.

Send by: Enrique Escolano These Tcl procedures are not explained in any manual,
There is a lot of tcl code inside our GiD /scripts folder to create all GiD windows, etc.
This code are simple text files that could be read by any user (e.g. for learning), but in general is unrecommended
to directly call our undocumented procedures, because we can change them in future versions.
The only exception is the dev_kit.tcl file, that include some common procedures of interest for problemtype developers,
and because we are aware of this third part use we try to maintain its syntax and features for all versions.
You can see some comments of the related functions inside the DataWindows.tcl file,
These are the comments explaining its syntax:
# Procedure GidChangeDataLabel
# Modify the text of GiD data menus:
# - Conditions, Materials, Problem Data, Interval Data,...
# Arguments:
# GidLabel --> Text key (in english, not translate it!!), could be some of:
# "Problem type" "Data units" "Interval" "Local axes" "Conditions" "Materials"
# "Interval Data" "Problem Data"
# NewLabel --> New text (translated)
proc GidChangeDataLabel { GidLabel NewLabel {Singular ""} }
# Procedure GidAddUserDataOptions
# Add a new entry to the data menu of GiD.
# Arguments:
# L --> Label of the option. In order to add a separator entry, it must be passed the value "---"
# A --> script to execute when the option is selected
# W --> Position of the option:
# an integer or end to indicate the last position in the menu.
# end is the default value if you omite this argument.

[GiDlist] gidpost library
Send by: Martin.Meiler Let's clarify things:
This is the gidpost procedure we are calling:
int GiD_BeginResultHeader(GP_CONST char * Result,
GP_CONST char * Analysis,
double step,
GiD_ResultType Type, GiD_ResultLocation Where,
GP_CONST char * GaussPointsName);
That means that the following values might me assigned:
Result: "mechDisplacement"
Analysis: "eigenFrequency_1"
step: 1275.25
Now it is possible that two results of an eigenFrequency analysis have
the same eigenFrequency however not the same mode shape.
That means the resulting *.post.bin file will contain two results of
one analysis with the same step value.
This is what GiD complains about. The question is if there is a method
to avoid that.
I can also provide a sample post.bin file to make things clear.
Best regards

[GiDlist] gidpost library
Send by: Miguel A. Pasenau de Riera Hello,
inside GiD the combination of Analysis+StepValue+ResultName should be unique, because GiD uses it to identify a result.
As you say, you have two results (with same name, analysis and step value), but from different 'mode shape'. Is that right?
If so, then you have two possibilities:
1. name a different analysis for each mode shape or
2. include the 'mode shape' as part of the result name, for instance:
Analisys: "whatever"
Step value: x.x
Result name: "ModeShape_1//ResultName_a" ( note the double '/', like the folder separator in unix)
Analisys: "whatever"
Step value: x.x
Result name: "ModeShape_2//ResultName_a" ( note the double '/', like the folder separator in unix)
This way, when GiD display the result names, will group all results with the same 'prefix' (ModeSahpe_1) in the same branch of the tree or submenu.
You can group the result into as many subgroups as you want, for instance:
g1//b1//r1
g1//b1//r2
g1//b1//r3
g1//b2//r1
g1//b2//r2
g1//b2//r3
g2//b1//r1
g2//b1//r2
g2//b1//r3
GiD will group the results:
g1-+-b1-+-r1
| +-r2
| +-r3
+-b2-+-r1
+-r2
+-r3
g2---b1-+-r1
+-r2
+-r3

[GiDlist] strange bug in Windows 7 when opening or saving a project
Send by: Pablo Cuéllar Dear GiD staff, My department bought some time ago a floating USB-license for GiD 9, and I have been able to work with it in a couple of computers (a workstation and a normal PC) without any problems. But now I have installed it in a new PC with Windows 7 and I am experiencing some strange problems. The program seems to install and execute ok, but when I try to save the project or open a different one, a strange error happens and a window pops-up with very strange error information, which I cannot interpret. The problem doesn’t seem to be in the specific project to open or save, because the error happens as soon as I click the icons for open or save, and it doesn’t even let me specify the path where I would like it to happen. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the program, but that didn’t help. So then I downloaded the latest version from GiD web-page (version 9.0.4), but the same error still occurs. I enclose to this email a pdf document with a capture of the error information, so perhaps you can find out what the problem might be. If you could help me with this issue I would be VERY grateful (I’ve tried several things and now I don’t know what else to try).

[GiDlist] Running Menus/Screens in InitGIDProject
Send by: Shriram Hi,
I want to do the following: While starting my problemtype, I want to add an
option "Define geometry" to the "Data" menu and when clicked on it, the user
can input certain geometries.
However, I cannot bring up the screen that I define in the 'proc
InitGIDProject'. For e.g. if I write the following snippet, nothing happens
when I load the problemtype:
Proc InitGIDProject {dir} {
label .test -text "This is test for screen"
grid .test
}
But I think the 2 lines of code executed successfully as there are no
errors. If I try to load the problemtype the second time, I get an error
message which says the parent window already exists.
I looked at the 'cmas2d' example and found the use of the command
"InitWindow". So if I rewrite the code as following, then I can see the test
screen:
Proc InitGIDProject {dir} {
set w .gid.win_example
InitWindow $w "CMAS2D.TCL - Example tcl file" ExampleCMAS
" " " " 1
label $w.test -text "This is test for
screen"
grid $w.test
}
I tried searching everywhere for the InitWindow command to learn more but
could not find it. I am not able to bring the screen otherwise in the first
case. I am relatively new to TCL/TK so I am not sure what's happening. Can
you clarify the above issue?
Thanks a lot!

proc CreateMyWindow { }
set w .gid.yourwindow
toplevel $w
label $w.test -text [= "This is test for screen"]

The InitWindow is a procedure defined by us that create a toplevel and do some extra work,
like store its size and state (open or closed) in our 'gid.ini' user-preferences file, and reopen again with the last size.
This procedure is defined inside scripts clfileP.tcl
#w: toplevel name
#title: window title (marked to translation)
#geomname: must be <prefix>WindowGeom, with <prefix> unique
#InitComm: the command to be called to reopen the window
proc InitWindow { w title geomname {InitComm ""} { class ""} { OnlyPos 0 } {ontop 1} {nodestroy 0} } {
for example, instead to directly use 'toplevel' you can do this:
proc CreateMyTest { }
set w .gid.mytoplevel
InitWindow $w [= "My test caption"] MyTestWindowGeom CreateMyTest
label $w.test -text [= "This is test for screen"]
grid $w.test

Note: the [= ] is a procedure we use for translation. We have a program (RamTranslator) that scan the code and extracts the marked strings to a database, and at runtime the [= ] procedure provides the string for the current language (if a tranlated database is provided).

[GiDlist] meshing: triangular element edge alignments
Send by: S.P.Haanappel at ctw.utwente.nl Hello, I am a new GID user, studied some meshing tutorials but cannot find a solution for the following. Consider a defined circular area in GID. We would like to mesh this circular area with triangles. Nevertheless, there is a restriction that comes from our constitutive relationships. This restriction implies that at least one edge of each triangular element, has to be aligned with one of the global axes. Consider for example a circular area in the global x-y-plane, with its normal in the z-direction. Now, for example, each element should have an edge that is aligned with the global x-axis or with the global y-axis. An example of such a mesh is attached in this mail (generated with Matlab): Does anyone know, if it is possible to generate such a mesh with GID? What are the steps involved to create such a mesh from a circular area in GID? Some attempts were made by setting several unstructured and structured mesh options, however, these were unsuccessful.

[GiDlist] Layers not available via remote access
Send by: Miguel A. Pasenau de Riera Hello,
the problem is that the remote display system you're using does not support
colour names, as the X11, or ssh+X11 tunnelling, does.
To solve this you need to follow these steps:
1- edit the $GID_INSTALLATION_DIR/scripts/ConfigureProgram.tcl file
2- look for "white smoke", should be around line 58; the lines to be
modified are these ones:
set ::GidPriv(Color,BackgroundListbox) {white smoke}
set ::GidPriv(Color,DisabledBackgroundEntry) {white smoke}
set ::GidPriv(Color,DisabledForegroundEntry) {black}
set ::GidPriv(Color,DisabledForegroundMenu) {grey60}
set ::GidPriv(Color,BackgroundFileDialog) {white}
3- change the color names to the colour codes you want, with this format:
#rrggbb --> rr, gg, bb are hexadecimal numbers from 00 to ff
( 0..255)
for instance:
set ::GidPriv(Color,BackgroundListbox) #f5f5f5
set ::GidPriv(Color,DisabledBackgroundEntry) #f5f5f5
set ::GidPriv(Color,DisabledForegroundEntry) #000000
set ::GidPriv(Color,DisabledForegroundMenu) #999999
set ::GidPriv(Color,BackgroundFileDialog) #ffffff
4- Start gid.
Perhaps, you'll need administrative privileges to edit this file, if GiD was
installed as root.
Hope it helps, best regards
Miguel Pasenau

[GiDlist] Can I get the time consuming to generate mesh?
Send by: Enrique Escolano You can implement the GiD-tcl events raised before and after the generation of the mesh, and measure the time with some Tcl command, for example
proc BeforeMeshGeneration { elementsize } {
set ::TimeStart [clock seconds]
}
proc AfterMeshGeneration { fail } {
set now [clock seconds]
WarnWinText "Meshing time: [expr $now-$::TimeStart] seconds"
}
To use it, you can copy these procedures in a .tcl file and source it
Or as a trick simply paste the code in the lower command line, preceded by -np- and an space (-np- want to mean 'non-process' and must be followed by some tcl code.

Send by: Enrique Escolano You must use the gidpost to write binary compressed files (it is very difficult to do it by yourself). It is easier to link the gidpost with your FORTRAN code. We did and it is possible changing some compiler/linker settings, or writting some FORTRAN interface (I tried sucessfully for example with VS 2005 and Intel FORTRAN 10.1.4159.2005, using the examples esfpostfor.f included with our library source) In any case this format will only reduce the disk space and speed the reading time, but when read in GiD is is uncompressed in memory and your problem of too big results become the same as with ASCII files!!

Send by: Pablo Cuéllar Dear GiD staff, My department bought some time ago a floating USB-license for GiD 9, and I have been able to work with it in a couple of computers (a workstation and a normal PC) without any problems. But now I have installed it in a new laptop with Windows 7 (x64) and I cannot visualize the geometries or meshes. The program seems to install well but when I run it on the laptop, the workspace window (the area of the screen where one normally sees the geometry, mesh, etc) is black, except for the little corner where the coordinate axes are, which appears as normal (white background and the axes in red). Other than that, everything seems ok (I can see the menus, the command buttons, etc). Only the working area is completely black and I cannot see anything. I tried loading a project with a predefined geometry, and it didn’t help. All I could see from the geometry were the parts that were on the left lower corner, right “on top” of the coordinate axes. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the program, but that didn’t help. So then I downloaded the latest version from GiD web-page (version 9.0.4), but the same problem persists. Is that a matter of configuration? Do I need to set the preferences in some specific way? If you could help me here I would be very grateful. Best regards, and thanks in any case Pablo PS: Since perhaps someone has experienced this problem before, I tried to look for this issue in the gid-list archives, but I could not find them in your new web-page.

Send by: Fernando Salazar Good morning, GiD team I need to do some operations in post process. Durind the last GiD conference I was told they were available, but I don't know how to do them: 1.- Take parts of a postprocess mesh to work with it separately. For example, if I make a cut over a mesh, and then I want to analyze a part of it for calculating the integral of some of the results. Is it possible to save a part of a mesh as an independent mesh, and then open it with GiD and work with it? How? 2.- I know I can convert a isosurface into a cut, and then into a mesh. Is it possible to use this isosurface/cut/mesh to cut another (volume) mesh? How? 3.- How can I import a preprocess mesh to the post process?

[GiDlist] Post process tools
Send by: Miguel A. Pasenau de Riera Hello,
1. There are several options to achieve this:
Top menu bar --> Divide by selection : select the elements you want and create a new mesh with these elements
Top menu bar --> Divide volume sets / surface sets : create a new mesh whose elements are on one side of a plane defined by the user
Top menu bar --> Divide lines : create a new mesh with the edges of the surface elements which lie on one side of a plane defined by the user
To save the meshes: Top menu bar --> File --> Export --> Post information --> ASCII files / Binary ( whole model = mesh + results) / Binary (only results)
Top menu bar --> File --> Export --> Post information --> ASCII boundaries : writes a mesh file only with the boundaries of the meshes
( so for a tetrahedral mesh this option will write the triangles boundaries, for a triangle mesh it will write the lines of the boundaries)
2. To convert an isosurface to a cut-mesh: Top menu bar --> Options --> Iso surfaces --> Convert to cuts
Top convert a cut to a surface mesh: Top menu bar --> Do cuts --> Convert cuts to surface sets
At the moment it is not possible to use one surface set or isosurface to cut another mesh.
3. to import the preprocess mesh into Post:
1. you need to export the preprocess mesh into ascii file
2. then in postprocess read, or merge, the mesh.
But when GiD switches from the preprocess parto to postprocess, the mesh in the preprocess part is also present in the postprocess part.
¿What exactly do you want to do?

Send by: Shriram Hi GiD team , Just wanted to bring a small bug to your notice. I am using the new GiD v10 on XP, ia32. If I import a graph (.grf file) and click on the 'dimension' button or the option for dimensioning (to see distance between 2 points), GiD simply exits. There is a small window that pops with some message, but GiD exits immediately so I don't know what the message is.

In general, a NURBS-volume can be described in the same way (three parameter vectors u,v,w and a set of points). These are probably the 'parametric volumes'.

Send by: Enrique Escolano Off course the concept of NURBS could be extended to 3 dimensions (NURBS volumes), but GiD don't use this NURBS volumes of other kind of parametric volumes trimmed by the boundary surfaces. We don't want to have a non-uniform parametrization of the 3D space!! Our volumes are like our planar surfaces in 2D: defined only by its trimming boundary, without any parametrization. If do you need a parametrization you can imagine that your shape is embedded in the cartesian space, and the x,y,z coordinates are directly an uniform parametrization. (imagine and embedding box that could be defined as a NURBS volume with degree=1 in each direction, and corners as control points, then your u,v,w will be the x,y,z normalized if you want to be 0,0,0 in one corner and 1,1,1 in the opposite corner) Define a geometry with NURBS volumes could be interesting also for simple shapes, topologically equal to a cube, where it could be possible to define them as untrimmed, but in general this is not possible and the use of a trimming boundary is necessary. Note: we are going to use NURBS volumes in future version only as an auxiliary tool to embed inside some shape and let the user to free-form deformate the shape by moving control points of this NURBS volume.

[GiDlist] Knot insertion and degree elevation
Send by: Enrique Escolano You can do it with the related Tcl command:
GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Edit EdNurbsLine $num DegreeElevate escape
You must create your own window to collect the line number (picking on screen) and the required degree, and
use GiD_Info or GiD_Geometry Tcl commands to know the current degree of the selected line, and increase it until the required one calling several times if necessary the degree elevation process command.
Note: to select the entity you can use an auxiliary tcl procedure we defined inside dev_kit.tcl to aid scripting developers.
GidUtils::PickEntities { type selectmode }

set num [GidUtils::PickEntities Lines single]

Pasenau de Riera Hello, the integrate option in GiD, after selecting a scalar value, GiD averages the result for the element and multiplies it by the element size, accumulating the results for all the elements of the selected set. For a vector results, GiD averages the scalar product of the result and the normal for the element. There is an option to do the integration only for the current step or for all the steps of the analysis. With this last option, a graph showing this integration value evolution is also created. For gauss points: - for volume and surface sets only 1 gauss point is supported - for cut sets, the integration is done over the smoothed gaussian results to the nodes. best regards, Miguel Pasenau De: ... [GiDlist] Integrate results - how does it work?
Send by: Abel Coll Dear Nunzio,
May be I can clarify a little bit Miguel's answer.
By the moment GiD only calculates the numerical integration on linear
elements. For this reason, the classical way of integrating numerical
results on an element (taking into account the weights of the Gauss points,
the nodal values and the shape functions) can be expressed (simplifying) as
the average of the values of the result on the nodes of the element (as
Miguel said in the previous mail). The integration for non-linear elements
is not available yet, and it will use this classical way for numerical
integration.
This option is only available (by now) if the results (inside GiD project)
are in nodes (not in Gauss points), except the case Miguel pointed out (only
in case of results in one Gauss point).
Kind regards,
ABEL

Send by: Enrique Escolano It is not possible to set the old style of the layers window, but all old features also exists in the new window!! e.g. to send entities to a layer, select the destination layer and press the fourth upper icon of the window (or the contextual menu of the rigth mouse button) When opening a model created by a newest version (where the format of the database could have changed to add some new feature), the older GiD show the related warning. Probably you didn't used any of this new features and the model could be read by the old version without problem (or maybe the basic data is read and only this new data is lost), then you can ignore the warning, and save again the model with the old version, then both version will read it without any warning. The option to save in 'old GiD7' format can do something similar, writting only the data that was acceptable for this version, and ignore the 'new data'. This could be interesting to send your model to old users, assuming that the most inportant, like the geometry, is preserved.

Thanks for the reply. The tetrahedral structured mesh might do the job I

realise you could do structured tet meshes, thanks for the prompt reply.

Send by: Abel Coll Dear Mark, If the model is like the one you sent (without any "more complex" part), you also can try to subdivide the cap region so as it will be formed by 6-faced volumes. Doing so, you will be able to generate structured hexahedras. Note that you also have the semi-structured option for generating hexahedras. This option can be applied to topologically prismatic volumes, and can generate hexas (structured in the prismatic direction of the volume) "connecting" the mesh of the tops of the volume, which can be unstructured (quads in this case).

Send by: Smith, Mark Hi Abel Thanks for your reply. I agree I can split the volumes into 6 faced regions but this is time consuming as it has to be done manually and any change to the geometry means this has to be repeated all over again ;-( I have used the semi structured approach before but this also requires lots of manual intervention. Are there any plans to introduce a fully automatic hexahedral mesher? Regards mark -----Original Message----- From: gidlist-admin at gid.cimne.upc.edu [mailto:gidlist-admin at gid.cimne.upc.edu...

Send by: Enrique Escolano You have tried to use semi-structured mesh. Must use structured mesh. Mesh->Structured->Volumes->Assign number of cells select the volume, and set number of divisions=17 in two lines of the base, and 9 in some line of the third direction. To create quadratic hexahedra of 20 nodes go to Utilities->Preferences - Meshing, and set the variable 'Quadratic type' to 'Quadratic' (Normal will generate linear 8-nodes hexa, Quadratic will generate quadratic serendipit 20-nodes hexa and Quadratic9 will generat quadratic lagrangian 27-nodes hexa) and generate the mesh (the general size doesn't matter in this case, because all sizes are set by the number of structured divisions) ----- Original Message ----- From: Farzam, Arash To: ...

Some preprocess changes are:
************************* versi=F3n 6.2.0b
a.. The meshing parameters used and the GiD version are stored with =
the model. They are possible to be listed after with Status.
b.. Customization tcl variable GidPriv(TextOfVersion) in the =
ConfigureProgram.tcl file to show in the help (for example, to show the =
version of a problem type, not the GiD version)
c.. New tcl Order: ".central.s info GiDVersion" (return the internal =
GiD version number)
d.. New tcl Order: info list_entities -more elements "selection" =
(-more also return the element number, number of nodes and the volume)
e.. Enhanced memory use writing the calculation file
f.. Draw of conditions over layer (the layer entities are draw)
g.. New GiD-tcl events send to problemtype.tcl (proc EndGIDPostProcess =
{} and proc LoadResultsGIDPostProcess { file })
h.. New *.bas command *LocalAxesDefCenter (return the center of the =
user defined local axis, similar to LocalAxesDef)
i.. Inline tutorials (see Help->Tutorials)
************************* versi=F3n 6.2.0c=20
a.. Conditions Window: Entities->AllConditions (list all the model =
conditions)
b.. New *.bas commands *time and *clock to measure time writing the =
calculation file (useful for debug pourposes)
c.. The right buttons (hidden by default) open the new conditions, =
materials, etc windows.
d.. Mesh extrusion enabled in the Copy window
e.. Split surface (menu Geometry->Edit->Divide->Surfaces->Split) : to =
divide a surface selecting the divide lines (these lines must be =
previous intersected with the surface contours)
f.. News *.bas commands related to layers: ( *Set Layer LayerName =
*nodes|elems ,

Send by: Enrique Escolano The nodes renumeration algorithm can be set with the variable 'RenumberMethod'
Accepted values are:
-2 : Avoid nodes and elements renumeration, entities numbers are set increasingly when they are generated.
-1 : Avoid nodes renumeration, nodes numbers are set increasingly when they are generated
0 : Geometrical algorimth, ordered by the distance to some coordinate. It is the default value
1 : Reverse Cuthill-McKee algorimth, similar to the previous one, but following element's connectivities
2 : ordered following the XYZ axes, interesting for special cases with geometry aligned to the axes
As a trick, you can write a file with GiD mesh ASCII format with your own renumeration, and import this mesh with
Mescape Files MeshRead $filename
but the boundary conditions will be lost.
Maybe we could add for next versions a GiD-Tcl command to user-renumber nodes or elements without delete and create them again.
(something like: GiD_Mesh Renumber nodes|elements {{list of old id's} {list of new id's}} )
You can use our AfterMeshGeneration Tcl-GiD event to automatically invoke your own renumeration procedure:
The prototype of this event is this (See GiD Help on Tcl/Tk customization)
proc AfterMeshGeneration { fail } {
}
It exists also an AfterRenumber Tcl-GiD event to let you know the relation between old and new numbers when a renumbering
proc AfterRenumber { useof leveltype renumeration } {
}
AfterRenumber : will be called after renumber the geometry or the mesh (to update for example fields storing entity identifiers)
useof : could be GEOMETRYUSE or MESHUSE
leveltype: the kind of entity that was renumbered.
Geometry: must be ALL_LT.
Mesh: could be NODE_LT or ELEM_LT.
renumeration:
Geometry: four sublists with the old and new idenfiers for points, lines, surfaces and volumes.
Mesh: a sublist with the old and new identifiers for nodes or elements.

[GiDlist] Animation for Small Deformation

But since it's a thermal problem the deformation is really small, I use a deformation factor to see the deformation. I want to animate the deformation with the factor. The animation doesn't do that. It deforms with the factor in the animation but the animation is without any factor. Is there a way to achieve animation with deformation factor?

Send by: Shriram Hi Anna, Thanks for the reply. Actually, I realized it is part of a bigger problem that I am struggling with. I have been trying to get a proper solution but haven’t yet. Any assistance would be really helpful. Actually my analysis happens in two parts. For e.g. first there is a large deformation of the body (no deformation factor is needed in the result) and then there is a thermal shrinkage/expansion on the same body after the large deformation. So there are two .post.res file with two sets of displacements. Since GiD by default calculates the deformation based on the original mesh – for the second analysis, I actually print out the total displacement w.r.t original geometry. So, it is the large deformation displacement + the small shrinkage. Now this causes the problem that I cannot use a deformation factor just for viewing the small shrinkage because GiD applies the deformation to the total displacement and plots are weird. How can I solve this problem? Is there a way that I can write an ascii mesh which can be used as reference for the small displacement instead of having to use the original mesh information? Thanks for your support, From: ... [GiDlist] Animation for Small Deformation
Send by: Enrique Escolano Hi Shriram. I think that you can use a mesh variable over the time (two meshes in your case) See Help on 'GiD Customization->Postprocess data files->Re-meshing and adaptivity In the postprocess mesh file you could define two named groups, e.g. 'Original' and 'Deformated' (with the original mesh, and the one with the large displacement) and then define the results for this groups with the 'OnGroup' flag (with relative displacements, without add the first displacement) Each resuls has associated its time step, and will use its own mesh (associated by its group) Note: the interest of this new Group concept is that you can define both meshes repeating nodes and elements number (e.g. the first node of Original and Deformated could start by 1) *.post.msh Group Original MESH "mesh_name" dimension ... ... End elements End Group Group Deformated MESH "mesh_name" dimension ... ... End elements End Group *.post.res OnGroup Original Result "Displacement" "analysis" 0.25 vector OnNodes ... End Values ...

Send by: Miguel A. Pasenau de Riera Hello, yes, you're right, the problem is that the option 'divide by selection', in contrast to 'Cuts' and 'Divide by plane', only works for the current visualized step, thus your new set only exists in the current step and not in the other. So when you do the integration, then GiD only can do the integration on the current step, as the new layer does not exists in the other steps. To extend the 'divide by selection' to the other steps is a bit tricky, but will be implemented soon for the other steps. Thanks, Miguel Pasenau De: gidlist-bounces at listas.cimne.upc.edu...

Send by: Miguel A. Pasenau de Riera Yes,
It should work with the 'Utilities-->Copy' window.
You can select if it's only for viewing ('View') or you need actually to
create the mesh ('Create').
With the 'Create' option you tell GiD:
* just to rotate the mesh the specified number of degrees and the specified
number of times, or
* do also an extrusion of the mesh by connecting the separated rotated
meshes.
i think that what you are looking for is the last option.
If there is a problem, can you provide us with a little example so that we

[GiDlist] Rotation in GiD
Send by: Enrique Escolano Hello Shriram,
As Miguel explained, you can do it in postprocess also, but there are some differences that I remmark:
In postprocess open the copy tool: Utilities->Copy...
Do you have two options: 'View' and 'Create',
You need to use the 'Create' one if do you want to create also extruded elements ('View' is a lighter option that not create any mesh in memory, and apply them results, only draw applying matrix transformations)
Select 'Create' and 'Extrude surface'
and select 'Rotation' and two points of the rotation axe
Be carueful for the angle, if you set 360 degrees, you will obtain o copy of the source in the same location of the original, with opposite normal !!
Take into account that in postprocess you only have mesh entities, not geometric entities: do you need to create multiple 'linear' elements to approximate the curved object.
You can set for example 36 degrees and 10 copies
Another difference with the preprocess copy tool is that user is not asked for a selection of entities, current visible sets are implicitly selected.

Send by: Shriram Hey GiD, I noticed few bugs in the previous version, but thought they will be fixed in the next version. I think they are still there, so thought may be a good idea to bring them to your notice. I hope I am not doing anything wrong to cause those bugs. I am using GiD 10.0.4 x32. - In post-process, clicking on the "Units:" button in the standard toolbar causes an error. I get the following error: - Also, if I click on the "stack trace" on such errors, the stack error window is hidden at the back of GiD windows. I have to minimize GiD all the time and then bring the stack error window to the front. For while, I didn't know where the stack trace window was. It might be a good idea to raise it to the foreground - In the bas file I define "*messagebox error:" for certain conditions. Whenever the error is triggered, the info window is in the front and the error message window is hidden behind the info window. Now, the info window is completely frozen as I guess, GiD is waiting the error window to be closed first. It's not possible to access or even see the error window as it is completely behind the info window. I used to kill the GiD process for a while, then I realized pressing "enter" on keyboard closes the error window at the back and then GiD is normal again. It might be a good idea to bring the error window to the foreground. (This window is inactive and can't be closed or moved as the error window is behind this) Thanks and have a nice day! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Send by: Enrique Escolano Hello Shiram, We didn't know this bug when pressing "Units:" button in postprocess, The solution is very simple, only edit StatusLabel.tcl and change 'columspan' by 'columnspan', Next official and beta versions will be fixed About the other comments, we know that some popup windows, like the "stack trace" is hidden at the back, and is difficult to be shown (minimizing/maximixing other windows), but we don't have any good solution nowadays. We tried to set the -topmost flag (on Windows platforms), but the solution is worst than the problem, as you noticed, some window could be forced to appear in front (like error messages window, or help window), but maybe other windows are raised hidden on the back, but with the focus, and the program seems locked (althought usually it is possible to use the keyboard, with escape, enter, etc to close them) Concluding, for next versions we are avoiding this -topmost flag, is is better to have some message window hidden on the back. Off course we will try to find a better solution... (we tried to use Tk commands like "raise", "focus", etc, to send to front this windows unsuccessfully) Enrique ----- Original Message ----- From: Shriram To: ... [GiDlist] TCL GiD_Process Geometry Create Line
Send by: Andres Peratta Hi there,
I am trying to create a line between two points via TCL.
The line should go from point A to point B.
Point A already exists in the model, so I want to refer to it by its id number
(stored in the variable $Id_A)
Point B is defined in terms of its 3D coordinates, stored in the list $x_B
Once the line is create I would like to Mescape, to continue adding more
commands
The code is as follows:
set Id_A 15
set x_B { 2 5 0 }
GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line Join $Id_A NoJoin $x_B
GiD_Process Mescape
This code works ok, except for the case when there is a point previously defined
with coordinates $x_B.
In this case, I get a window prompting the user to decide whether to use the
existing point or create a new one (new/old).
This messes up with the rest of the code that follows, and the line does not get
created.
Is there a way to tell in advance that I always want a new point from tcl?
Or perhaps, can we avoid this interaction?
Many thanks
Andres

Send by: Enrique Escolano NoJoin was ok, because you were before in Join state
FNojoin is also ok, the difference is tha FNoJoin mean 'force no join' and doesn't complain if the current state was already 'no join'
Your bug is that your variable x_B has the x y z coordinates separated by spaces { 2 5 0 }
do you have two solutions:
1- use a single word, separating x,y,z with commas, and without spaces
e.g.
set x_B { 2,5,0 }
GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line Join $Id_A NoJoin $x_B
2- or separet x,y,z by spaces, but then send it as three words to the command processor
e.g.
set x_B { 2 5 0 }
GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line Join $Id_A NoJoin {*}$x_B
Note the use of {*} Tcl 8.5.x command, to flat the Tcl list of coordinates
that is moreless like this:
set x_B 2
set y_B 5
set z_B 0
GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line Join $Id_A NoJoin $x_B $y_B $z_B
To avoid prompting the user to decide whether to use the existing point or create a new one (new/old), you can temporary set the GiD variable CreateAlwaysNewPoint to 1
set PreviousValue [GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint]
GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint 1
...
GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint $PreviousValue

[GiDlist] TCL GiD_Process Geometry Create Line
Send by: Andres Peratta Hi Enrique, Ramon
Many thanks for the prompt reply.
I tried this:
GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line Join $Id_A NoJoin $x_B $y_B $z_B
GiD_Process Mescape
and this:
GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line Join $Id_A NoJoin {*}$x_B
GiD_Process Mescape
as well as all combinations with FNoJoin at the end.
They all behave ok only while debugging (step by step with the built-in
RamDebugger). The comma separated list version that I posted initially also
worked fine only while debugging.
The problem arises whenrunning the script without the debugger and point B is
already present. In this case I get the usual window prompting whether to "Join"
the existing point or not, and hit the same problem.
It seems that whatever is seleceted by the user in the Join / No Join
interactive window, GiD will try to execute it as an independent command and
cancels the line creation.
(i.e. selecting a new point issues the command "new" which is recognised as if
I was trying to create a new window, while selecting the existing point issues
the command "old" which then gets unrecognised by GiD) If I take away all the
code from the script that follows after the instruction
GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line Join $Id_A NoJoin {*}$x_B
then the job gets done. But this involves the user to press escape few times to
cancel line creation, and then launching the continuation of the script with a
separate command which is quite an auckward solution.
The following solution of avoiding prompting the user to decide whether to use
the existing point or create a new one (new/old) , suggested by Enrique, has
worked fine for me (but is restricted to force always NoJoin)
set PreviousValue [GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint]
GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint 1
...
GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint $PreviousValue
We will stick to this solution for the moment.
Best regards

[GiDlist] TCL GiD_Process Geometry Create Line
Send by: Enrique Escolano Join/No join only change the mode of expect an identifier number of a point or its real coordinates,
but in this second mode (No Join), the new point is tested agains "close" points, and if there is one very close, user is asked to join with it (if CreateAlwaysNewPoint preference is 0 == Ask)
When do you work in an automatic mode (without user intervention) in the creation of new points, you don't know 'a priori' if GiD will ask you about create new or use a previous close point, to answer "old" or "new"
(is you send always this word "old" or "new" when is not expeced, it will raise errors: 'old' will be unknown, and 'new' will be considered as 'open a new window'
then the solution is to set CreateAlwaysNewPoint =1 to say that do you want always the new point you are setting by coordinates, also if there is another point close to this location:
set PreviousValue [GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint]
GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint 1
GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line Join $Id_A NoJoin {*}$x_B
GiD_Process Mescape
GiD_Set CreateAlwaysNewPoint $PreviousValue
Off course you could obtain 'overlapped' points, is your resposability to handle them, or collapse them after with your tolerance.

[GiDlist] How to read the command line into a tcl variable?
Send by: Andres Peratta Hi
Is there a way to get the data left by the user in the command line at the
bottom of the screen from a tcl script ?
I would like to send a message to the user, such as for example:
GidUtils::SetWarnLine [_ "Enter the diameter ( default = %s )" $diam]
then wait for the user to type something in the command line, and then capture
it in a variable.
Apologies if this has been explained before. I could not find the answer
anywhere else.
Many thanks

[GiDlist] How to read the command line into a tcl variable?
Send by: Enrique Escolano No, the data written in the command line is sent to the internal processor of words,
but you can open your own Tk window to collect your data, and after then send the appropiated GiD_Process commands to GiD
e.g. you can use our predefined tk_dialogEntryRAM to open a window to ask for example a positive real number, with somethin like this
(the global variable ::MyDiameter is used to provide to store the value and provide the default one)
if { ![info exists ::MyDiameter ] } {
set ::MyDiameter 1.0
}
set size [tk_dialogEntryRAM .gid.getdiameter [= "Diameter"] [= "Enter the diameter"] gidquestionhead real+ $::MyDiameter ""]
if { $size != "--CANCEL--" } {
set ::MyDiameter $size
}

Send by: Abel Coll Dear Kim,
first of all, you should divide your volume in 6-sided volues, to be able to
mesh all of them with structured quadrilateral. A cube with a shpere hole
inside cannot be meshed as structured.
Then, if you want to concentrate elements in the sphere, you can select the
option 'Mesh->Structured->Lines->Concentrate elements', which allows you to
apply concentration weights to the end nodes of a line, leading to a
concentration of elements where you want.
Kind regards,
ABEL

[GiDlist] Is it possible to select elements or nodes by command
Send by: Enrique Escolano A) You can select entities writting its id numbers, as a list separated by spaces, e.g 24 47 65 - is it possible to specify a range from a to b with the syntax a:b (without spaces in the middle) to select all can set 1: or 1:end - can also apply selection filters, e.g. to select only elements of type triangle filter:ElementType=Triangle 1:end It is possible to say 'the entities of some layer', with the syntax layer:layername could select points or nodes close to a plane defined by its equation ax+by+cz+d<r with the syntax plane:a,b,c,d,r e.g, to select points close to the plane z=3 with a tolerance=1e-5 (0x+0y+1z-3<1e-5) plane:0,0,1,-3,1e-5 Read GiD Help - User basics - Entity selection B) After generate the mesh, the elements doesn't have any link with its source geometric entity. A trick to preserve this kind of link is to apply a condition to the surface, with an special field #FUNC#(NumEntity), this kind of field is automatically filled when meshing to the id number of the source geometric entity Read Help on GiD Customization - Configuration files - Conditions file (.cnd): Self Calculated #FUNC# fields: C) The group concept doesn't exist in current GiDs, you can use layers to separate elements, but there is a limitation: an entity can only belong to a layer and can use the related syntax layer:layername to select them Can also apply different materials, with the same limitation: an entity can only have a material If do you need 'overlapped groups' (en entity that belong to more than one group), you can apply some condition, e.g. using different 'group names' as a field value and you can use filters to select the entities with some condition and with some value of a field filter:Condition="Condition_name Field_name Field_value" Note: by default GiD doesn't have any condition or material defined, is necessary to load a 'problemtype' that define them to be used.
