Hello Benjamin, You can mesh circles with quadrilaterals using GiD. If you want the mesh to be structured, the circle must have 4 contour lines, but this kind of meshes is not “nice” in circles. The best thing you can do is to mesh the circles using unstructured quadrilateral. The only res...

Hello, I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but may be I can help you. If you want that the volume meshes share some node, that node must come from the same geometrical point. In your case, If you want some internal node of the "contact" surfaces not to be duplicated, you must divide the s...

Hello Martin, We are working on it. As soon as we fix the problem we will let you know. Regards, ABEL __________________________________________________________ Abel Coll Sans CIMNE - International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering Office C2 - C1Building - Campus Nord UPC Gran Capità...

Hi Martin, Finally we have found the bug and we have fixed it. Next beta and official versions won't have this problem no more. Thank you so much for notifying us this irregular behaviour. Regards, ABEL P.D: I have corrected the GiD model you sent, and GiD is able to mesh all its surfaces. If yo...

Hi, In relation with the quality of the elements, if your meshes are obtained using Rfast mesher, you can set Rsurf mesher (in Preferences-meshing-Surface mesher) and probably the elements would be better.

Hello Benjamin, To refine the mesh near any geometrical entity you must assign a prescribed size of the mesh to the entity (Mesh-Unstructured-Assign sizes on ). I recommend you to do the meshing tutorials available in the web site ( http://www.gidhome.com/support/su05.subst ) to be able to take adva...

Hello Jose, By the moment this is not possible using GiD. The whole model must be linear or quadratic. Regards, ABEL __________________________________________________________ Abel Coll Sans CIMNE - International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering Office C2 - C1Building - Campus Nord UPC Gr...

Hello Martin, We have detected a bug in the internal definition of the surface inside GiD, but we need to create the surface following the same steps as you to be able to correct it. Please, could you send us the initial mesh from which you have created the SurfMesh? Regards, ABEL __________________...

We are working on it. As soon as it will be released we will let you know. Regards, ABEL __________________________________________________________ Abel Coll Sans CIMNE - International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering Office C2 - C1Building - Campus Nord UPC Gran Capità s/n, 08034 ...
