Re: Definition of mesh size by averaged element length

Thanks for your reply. I needed to compute the mesh size on an existing mesh, rescale it based on some solution information and then pass it to GiD via the background mesh feature to generate a new mesh. I was not concerned about GiD exactly satisfying my given mesh size, but rather that by using a ...

Definition of mesh size by averaged element length

Hi, I read in the help document that the mesh size (as it is shown in Mesh->Draw->Sizes) is defined as the average edge length. I am performing adaptive mesh refinement using GiD background meshes and would like to make sure I have the exact definition since I need to recalculate mesh sizes in krato...

Re: Cuts and isosurfaces

I think I have it figured out now. Turning off "Options -> Isosurfaces -> Draw always" is what I needed.

Cuts and isosurfaces

Hi, I am trying to show an isosurface only in part of a volume using cuts. I can cut the volume but when I generate the isosurface, it displays for the entire volume and not the cut. I am using gid 12.1.7. At one point after many attempts it somehow worked but now when I try to reproduce it, I can't...

Isosurface animation

Hi, I did a quick search but didn't find anything posted on this. I am using GiD 11.1.5d and my problem is the following. I am creating an isosurface and plotting contours on it at the first time step and it works fine. But as soon as I try to make an animation, it updates the contours at each step ...
