About Problem Types

When GiD is to be used for a particular type of analysis, it is necessary to predefine all the information required from the user and to define the way the final information is given to the solver module. The communication between GiD and the solver module is done with text files.

We call Problem Type to this this collection of files used to configure GiD for a particular type of analysis.

The files that configure a Problem Type are:

(instead a generic .bat a .win.bat and unix.bat can be used for Windows and Linux/Unix)

NOTE: The TCL extension files might be used to add expandability and total control to your problem type. With the TCL/TK language it is possible to add new windows, menus or new functionalities to the program.
