Hello Andrea, It's not possible to import STEP format, but usually all CAD's that can export in this format, can also export in IGES format that I think is much more extended, then is not very interesting to implement it. In other hand, I never had a document explaining this format, if fact there is...

*Globalnodes and *Localnodes return the nodes of a element face marked with a condition. It must be used inside a loop over elements with a contition defined 'over face elements', and after set this as current condition. something like this: *Set Cond Face-Load *elems *loop elems *OnlyInCond face wi...

Output dateFrom the bas file, you can call a tcl procedure to do it, some like: *tcl(clock format [clock seconds]) Tcl is an standard scripting language, can se the syntax of Tcl commands, like clock at http://www.gidhome.com/ManHtml/tcl8.4.9/html/TclCmd/contents.htm Enrique ----- Original Message -...

While selecting points, you can use the command Fjoin or Fnojoin to force to set the "join" (select an existent point, by its number) or "nojoin" (create a new point, by its coordinates) state. e.g. GiD_Process geometry create line fjoin num start num end ----- Original Message -...

Hello Andrea, It's difficult to manage the new entities created by GiD operations, because it's unknow the number of entities to be obtained, etc. In order to facilitate the automatizacion with scripts, we try to create the new entities with increasing numeration (without fill lower void numbers). T...

GiD 8.1.2 is crashing because you are using the new quadrilateral mesher You must set the old quadrilateral mesher (value=0) escape escape escape utilities variables QuadrilateralMesher 0 And activate the align nodes option (value=1) escape escape escape utilities variables AlignSemiStructuredNodes ...

First you can set visible the "rigth buttons"

I think that we didn't understand your meaning of "irregularities in the mesh" I think that you don't want to say "elements with bad angles or sizes", and what you want is that all extruded nodes have exactly the same XY proyection. Is not? Structured or semi-structured meshes wi...

Hello Isabel, I don't see the "irregularities of the mesh ". What do you want to obtain? Can you specify some node or element number of your mesh where the mesh is wrong? Enrique ----- Original Message ----- From: "Isabel Gil" misabel at litec.csic.es To: "GID_FORO" gid...
