Dear Adirson, As I commented you last week, there might be two options when meshing structured surfaces, the problem is that there was a bug in the code. Now this bug is corrected, so in the next official (8.0.x) and beta (8.x) version this option will be available. The key is that using RFAST or RS...

Dear Adison, I’m Abel Coll, from the GiD Team. Wich version of GiD are you using? In the latest beta version (8.1.1b), you can obtain different structured meshes depending on the surface mesher selected in Meshing Preferences. RFAST mesher performs the structured mesh interpolating coordina...

Hi Benjamin, There is a corrected bug in the 8.0.2 version, that will be available in the next official version. It will be public very soon (today or the next week), so you will be able to mesh your model. I thought it was already fixed in the 8.0.2 version, so I’m sorry for have not telli...

Hello, You have to ensure that the line divisions are compatible. For example: if you want to mesh one four-sided surface with structured quadrilateral and you assign 2 and 3 number of divisions to opposite lines of the surface, GiD will mesh both lines with 3 number of divisions, to make the mesh c...

Hello, It seams that you had not assigned compatible meshing data to entities. Using GiD, hexahedra elements can only be done using structured or semi-structured volume mesh, so all the volumes must have this kind of meshes. I send you an example of a possible mesh of your model. Regards, ABEL _____...

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 ...

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...

Hello Martin, We are working on it. As soon as we fix the problem we will let you know.

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 you wa...
