What's new from version 9.1.0b to ...
Preprocess:
- Force Points to Volume Mesh option available (Mesh Criteria->Force Points to Volume Mesh)
- Possibility of assigning real size (not num of divisions) for structured mesh
- Improvements in structured mesh
- Fixed some bug related to closed surfaces meshing
- Improvements in chordalerror mesh size limiting using meshing preferences
- Laplacian smoothing of line elements
- Option to load meshing preferences from model in Mesh menu
- Generation of quad dominant meshes (surface mesh with quadrilateral and triangles), if a meshing preference is set.
- Import of 'ply' mesh files
- Improvements in intersections and boolean operations
Postprocess:
- Import of ASCII files, compresed with (g)zip or not, which contanis only the coordinates x, y [ z] of points. Coment character and format of the line can be adjuste in the open import file dialog box. For example: with the format '%*d %g %g %g" the x, y and z coordinates can be read from a file with indexed coordinates like in this line: '1 2.345 7.543 3.876'.
- StatusLabels has been added in the iconbar reflecting the number of nodes and elements, render and transparency modes. Clicking over them triggers an action: Utilities-->Status for 'number of ndes/elements', cycling over the render and transparency modes for the 'render and transparency status labels'.
- In the 'File-->Merge' dialog box, several files can be selected to be merged together. Useful to read mesh+result pieces of a partitioned model.
- Several Graphs can be read from the same file, they only need to be separated by the line
# Graph: "(unique) Title of the graph"
which corresponds with the format of the graph files described in the manual
- All graphs are written in a unique file when the option File-->Export-->Graphs-->All is selected.
- Translation of the graphically supported TTF fonts for vectorial PostScript and Encapsulated Postcript output.
- Linux: after a couple of seconds the full path is poped up when the mouse is over a file in the Recent Files menu.
- Added icon for OpenMultiple files in the icon bar.
- several corrections regarding graphs, emulateFrontBuffer, Dimensions and PS vectorial, and othres...
Generic:
- First GiD 9.x version for Mac OS X
- Added support for usb's SpaceNavigator and 3D SpaceBall in Linux, with left button for ZoomFrame and right button for ResetView (XY plane).
- Now the OGL_emulateFrontBuffer preference is also saved.
