APENDIX: PRACTICAL EXAMPLES |
To learn how to configure GiD for a particular type of analysis, you can find some practical examples:
Problem types included in GiD by default as example:
- cmas2d: This is the problem type created in the tutorial, which finds the distance of each element relative to the center of masses of a two-dimensional surface. It uses the following files:
.cnd
,.mat
,.prb
,.bas, .tcl
and.bat
. There is a help file inside directory cmas2d.gid called cmas2d.html
- problem_type_solid1: This is the interface of what it could be a structure-calculating module. It contains the
.cnd
,.mat
,.prb
,.sim
,.bas
and.bat
files.
- problem_type_solid2: Same as problem_type_solid1 with a different interface.
- problem_type_thermo_mec: This is the interface of what it could be a thermo-mechanical module. It has programation in TCL/TK language. It uses the following files:
.cnd
,.mat
,.prb
,.sim
,.bas.bat
and.tcl
.
Other problemtypes can be downloade from the Data->Problem type->Internet retrieve menu:
- rambshell: This is a problem type which performs the structural analysis of either beams or shells or a combination of both using the Finite Element Method. This problem type uses the latest features offered by GiD . The
.exe
file for Windows systems is also included in a limited version.
- NASTRAN : Static and dynamic interface for the NASTRAN commercial analysis program (not included)
- Tdyn : Multiphysics solver (including CFD, heat transfer, species advection, pde solver and free surface problems)
