Re: Ctrl-x Ctrl-c not exporting the .dat file in the case of cmas2d_customlib problemtype

This is a small bug on last developer versions (do not happen in official versions) We have fixed it for next 16.1.9d developer version, available soon. This problemtype is writing the file invoked by the GiD_Event_AfterWriteCalculationFile In any case you can export the file calling directly to the...

You have not attached the model that complain when meshing

Re: Problems of Mesh generation Soil+Foundation+Steel mast tower

The first options seem ok, a radial pattern is a bad option because in the pole is not possible to draw a quadrilateral, it degenerates to a triangle (a prism in your 3D extruded shape) Note: in theory is possible to mesh a surface with triangles and a radial pattern with Mesh->Structured->Surfaces-...

Re: Problems of Mesh generation Soil+Foundation+Steel mast tower

Hi Mek, Unfortunately this question must not be asked to GiD developers, but to OpenSees developers In fact I've never calculated with OpenSees and I don't know its features Maybe it is not possible to mix for this simulation beam lines and volume elements, it depends on its internals. e.g. usually ...

Re: How to make the connection between the surface and the body when it is divided

Reading once more your question, maybe you simply want two volumes, with the same surface (and its lines and points( shape duplicated, one for each volume, and then want also an extra 'GiD contact volume' between the two surfaces on the same 3D location. This pseudo-volume has 0 width, and is a way ...

Re: How to make the connection between the surface and the body when it is divided

I continue without understanding your questions at all, attach the GiD zip model with the complete geometry that you want to reach. In general GiD works creating a geometry, and then GiD mesh it, all in a step, not in increasing steps. GiD has inside a Tetgen to mesh, but i have the impression that ...

Re: How to make the connection between the surface and the body when it is divided

Sorry, I don't understand your question at all. In GiD the normal approach is to create a geometry and then generate the mesh (Delaunay or other method, in general advancing front provide better mesh quality) You must create a volume with a hole, and create other volume filling the hole. and the sur...

Re: mistake of data extracting in Postprocess

Sorry, but to understand your issue is necessary to have the .post.res (and the .msh file if it is not defined inside the .res, or better the full .gid folder) Maybe you can prepare a smaller case, with only few steps or a coarse mesh, and then attach it in this forum (or copy the big model to other...

Re: Axisymmetric problems with hexahedra

Can create a geometry or a mesh of revolution, with the Utilities->Copy window... It the mesh is not enough 'symmetric' meshing a geometry created by revolution the can do of copy directly in mesh: first create the 2D surface mesh (triangles or quadrilaterals) and then do a copy of these elements by...

Re: Axisymmetric problems with hexahedra

Apart of the 'axisymmetric' adjective, hexahedra unstructured meshes cannot be generated by GiD must be structured (topologically a 6-faces cube) or semi-structured (topologically a surface of arbitrary faces, extruded along a direction) In this case 'axisymmetric', I guess that do you want a revolu...
