Hi everyone, I'm trying to import a point cloud and create a nurbs surface I can work with. I succeeded by importing the XYZ points and applying "Geometry/Create/NURBS surface/by Points". This creates a surface whose borders don't fit to the extension of the point cloud , and that I need t...

Hi Miguel,

Muchas gracias!! It works like a charm!! I'd have never realized of that by myself.

Hi, At the beginning I thought the same. That no linear elements were being generated, and I did the same you suggested (Mesh->Mesh criteria->Mesh->Lines). Now, I'm sure there are linear elements in the model (also said by the dialog window when the mesh is generated) even when I 'draw' the conditio...

Hi, I want to apply a condition on some linear elements, and later to loop through the elements that have that condition applied and listing their corresponding node connectivities. I tried using: NUMBER:30 CONDITION: Structure CONDTYPE: over lines CONDMESHTYPE: over body elements QUESTION: X VALUE:...

Thx so much for your help, your idea of explicitly expressing field as integer did the work, at the end I have it working as: *if(IntvData(1,int))

Hi, your suggestion of using (*if(strcmp(cond(1),"Liner")==0)) worked. However, the another IF statement (*if(IntvData(1)!=0)) continues showing the error message. I even tried your suggestion of using the field's name, i.e. *if(IntvData(Material_ID_to_modify)!=0), but nothing :(, any othe...

Hi, I'm trying to use an IF statement in my .bas file as: *loop intervals check_mat=*IntvData(1) *if(IntvData(1)!=0) *IntvData(1),*IntvData(2),*IntvData(3) *Set Cond Structure *nodes *if(CondNumEntities>0) *loop *nodes *OnlyInCond *if(strcmp(*cond(1),"Liner")==0) *cond(2),1,*NodesNum,*cond...

Hi, I'm working on a project that requires several stages to be performed, i.e. modifying materials (to simulate excavations), adding elements (for instance linear elements for lining), etc. I wonder if GiD has a preprocessing capability to handle this. I thought about using 'intervals' but those ar...
