What's new from version 8.0.x to 8.1.1b
- Smooth isosurfaces with results visualization and animation
- Meshing volumes and 2D surfaces with sphere elements.
- Align nodes of structured and semi-structured meshes (variable AlignSemiStructuredNodes)
- Memory savings to manage big meshes in pre and postprocess
- Rhino import updated to version 4
- Basic support of pyramid elements
- Swap group to orientate coherently groups of line elements
- Apply background mesh sizes also when meshing lines
- Draw surface curvature : mean, gaussian, main directions. Get them with GiD_Info
- NetCDF format import (only mesh)
- Creation of voxels from an VTK file (structured points dataset), GiD_VTK2OrthoHexa Tcl command
- Creation of hexaedra from an VTK file (structured points dataset), GiD_VTK2Hexa Tcl command
- Creation of isosurface of triangles from an VTK file (structured points dataset), GiD_VTKSP2MarchingCubes Tcl command
- New mapping algorithm when meshing using Rsurf mesher
- Option to avoid elements with all its nodes in the boundary
- Advance bar improvements: show number of generated entities
- Global option to force a maximum relative chordal error of the mesh in Preferences->Meshing
- Improvements in quadrilateral mesher
- Support to use arbitrary fonts in OpenGL (Asian encodings, etc)
- Render environment projection to reflect predefined or user defined patterns
- Draw the support grid with labels and in postprocess too
- Use a two colors degradation as background
- Options added for stream lines: length, initial step, maximum number of points
- New Rjump window to make easier the entities selection
- Different interpolation scenario (2d or 3d) in surface structured meshing depending on the surface mesher selected (RFast or RSurf).
- Views with the same name as the posprocess file, with the extension .vv, are automatically read
