Re: Quadratic mesh

Thank you very much for the reply, Enrique. From a very general point of view, it really doesn't matter to me whether the nodes are exactly in the middle or not. It is just something aesthetical when considering a very simple domain (like a square) meshed with a regular mesh. It is weird to have the...

Re: Quadratic mesh

I know this is an old post, but after reading it's not clear to me why the 8-node quad elements don't have their midside nodes exactly in the middle between two vertices (I checked this in GiD 16 and it always gave the mid nodes not in the middle). Do we have to click on "Align the quadratic no...

Re: Increase the width of the legend

This was obtained using GiD 10 (got it from a paper of myself of 2011 since I can't find the original files): 2021-07-14_17-39-18.png I can't find the original files, but I attach one zipped I replicated in GiD 15. This is the outcome: 2021-07-14_17-55-24.png In the second picture the color bar look...

Re: Increase the width of the legend

Thanks Enrique. I meant the default view of the legend looked thicker in older GiD versions. I had already tried the options that is offered through the GUI and that didn't work. Still the legend looks too thin under my perspective. See new picture. I am more inclined to change the width via the GiD...

Increase the width of the legend

Hello, I've noticed that with newer GiD versions the legend has been getting thinner. In version 13 the legends were by default way thicker. In Version 15 it is just too thin as shown in the attached file. Is there any way to increase its width?

Best,
Alejandro.

Result surface plot issue

Hi, when I plot a field that has positive and negative values using "Result surface" option, the 3D plot puts negative values in the +Z direction and positive values in the -Z direction (see the attached figure). Is there any way to switch the axis so that positive values are plotted along...

Re: Working with faces in .bas file

Dear Enrique:

Thank you very much! That worked through smoothly. I used to perform this edge search on my own codes after reading the mesh. Now, I can make it in one shot from the .bas file.

Best,
Alejandro.

Working with faces in .bas file

Hello, I am trying to code in the .bas file so that I can get some info printed to a calculation file. I give an example below. I am not sure whether this can be done in GiD, though. I tried but I didn't get it right. Say, we have this mesh of 4-node quadrilaterals: 6------------5------------4 | ......

displaying two different meshes simultaneously in GiD

Hello, I am working with material point method. To plot results I define a mesh based on "Points" (the element type is "Point" in the post.msh file). All the interesting variables are plotted at these points. However,in conjunction with the "Point" mesh, I would like to...
