Hello, You can do it from "Utilities-Preferences ", "Grid" Set on the "Draw axis" checkbox. You can also activate it by clicking the rigth mouse button over the small grid of the bottom-righ. It will appear a menu with a "show/hide axis" option. You can also d...

Your are rigth, this miss is corrected for the next beta Enrique ----- Original Message ----- From: CALAON Andrea Dalmine R&D To: gidlist at gatxan.cimne.upc.edu Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 3:11 PM Subject: RE: [GiDlist] Problems with *MatProp() Thanks Enrique, with "real" it works fi...

At .bas level , variables can only store integer or real values, not strings, like a generic Matprop field. *set var ANY=MatProp(ANY_PROPERTY_NAME) is not valid it can be valid if you specify its numeric type with REAL or ,INT: *loop materials *set var ANY=MatProp(ANY_PROPERTY,REAL) any:*ANY mid:*Op...

I don't understand what does " cylindical local 'on a surface' " mean. You can specify a location in cylindrical coordinates, by writting in the command line (or using the coordinates window) radiusangle,z for a coordinate relative to the previous one, begin with @ @radiusangle,z Enrique -...

Now GiD can't generate this kind of mixed meshes. Pyramid elements can be only created by importation, this 'basic support' mean that they can be drawn, selected, written/read, posprocessed , etc. Of course the idea is to use in the future this pyramid as auxiliary element to interface between other...

Hello, This question is related to CODE_ASTER, but not to GiD itself. The calculation message show a problem with the node 6240. Try to see in GiD the shape of the elements near this node, (but it's possible that the node numeration of CODE_ASTER is different of the GiD numeration) Note: With GiD yo...

You are showing the global numeration of the nodes, not the element list of connectivities!! This global numeration is only like an identifier name of each node. e.g. the node number 1 can't be the first node of each element!! To know the nodes of an element you can list it (utilities-list-Element)....

1 - Collapse is a tool to join "near entities" (near with a small tolerance, you can set it from preferences - Import tolerance). Probably in your case the result of collapse model, volume, or only selecting the overlapped surfaces will be the same. - collapse model try to collapse all wit...

I don't understand well your questions. Do you have two volumes in two different places, or they have some surface in the same location? Then they share this surface? If a surface is shared between two volumes, then its nodes are also shared. Maybe you need to collapse both surfaces. If they are two...

If fact, a node doesn't has any normal vector. This normal is only well defined for elements (triangles, quadrilaterals, not for volume elements). You can associate to nodes an averaged value of normals of the elements sharing this node. You can export the GiD mesh, and do this small calculation ins...
