I don't understand your question. 1- In Tcl you can ask the files in disk with the standard Tcl 'glob' command https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl8.6/TclCmd/glob.htm 2- The 'data tree' (I assume you are talking of the customLib treectrl widget + XML dom) doesn't has any special field to store 'exe' nam...

If the volume is topologically the extrusion of a 'master' surface: -Has a pair of 'opposite' surfaces, with a 1-1 relationship of its point and curves -And the lateral surfaces have 4 sides and connect pairs of lines then you can generate a semi-structured volume mesh, setting this type and the num...

This feature already exists in the layer window select the layers you want to create groups, and in the contextual menu select "Layers to groups" (and in the groups tab there is the opposite, create layers from groups) layers_to_groups.png but take into account that are not the same kind o...

The customLib component is designed to work with GiD groups, not layers just because Layers have the strong limitation that an entity can (in fact must) only belong to a layer, this is not the case of the groups, an entity can belong to more of one group. Can consider that a gid group is simply a na...

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

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-...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
