Dear Zhao, I think the problem may be that you are not assigning the number of cells to the lines of the surface: when you select Mesh-Structured Surfaces-Assign number of cells (or Assign Sizes), you select the surfaces, and then a window appears asking for the number of cells (or size) to be assig...

Dear Kim, first of all, you should divide your volume in 6-sided volues, to be able to mesh all of them with structured quadrilateral. A cube with a shpere hole inside cannot be meshed as structured. Then, if you want to concentrate elements in the sphere, you can select the option 'Mesh-Structu...

Dear Willy, there are a lot of news from 8 version to the current one (10). You can find them in http://www.gidhome.com/support/whats-new.

Dear Mark, Not in a short term. By the moment we are not planing to include any unstructured hexa mesher inside GiD. Kind regards, ABEL _________________________________ Abel Coll Sans - Civil Engineer CIMNE - International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering Ofice c-2, C1 building - Campus ...

Dear Mark, If the model is like the one you sent (without any "more complex" part), you also can try to subdivide the cap region so as it will be formed by 6-faced volumes. Doing so, you will be able to generate structured hexahedras. Note that you also have the semi-structured option for generating...

Dear Nunzio, May be I can clarify a little bit Miguel's answer. By the moment GiD only calculates the numerical integration on linear elements. For this reason, the classical way of integrating numerical results on an element (taking into account the weights of the Gauss points, the nodal values...

Dear Chen, Now there is no tool to know the time used to generate the mesh inside GiD. The only way for obtaining this information is to control the times of gid process by the system tools (Windows, etc.). Kind regards, ABEL _________________________________ Abel Coll Sans - Civil Engineer CIMNE - ...

Dear Cristian, We should try to reproduce this error to solve it. Please, can you send me the model? (you can send it to my mail adress ( abelcs at cimne.upc.edu ) instead to the GiDlist). Kind regards, ABEL _________________________________ Abel Coll Sans - Civil Engineer CIMNE - International Cent...

Dear Mark, In the example you sent us, I recomend you to split the surfaces 1 and 2 using the contour lines of surface 7, and then you should collapse the surfaces which are "in the same place" in the space. Kind regards, ABEL _________________________________ Abel Coll Sans - Civil Engineer CIMNE -...

Dear NGDau, As you said, this is a irregular behaviour. We have fixed the bug, and it will be available in the next beta version. By the moment, you can avoid this bug by assigning by hand the number of divisions manually to the contour lines of the surface, so as the number of the divisions of all ...
