Hello,

I would like to ask whether it is possible to import a jpeg or png image into GiD. The idea is to scale it within GiD and then draw over it. Is this at all possible or should I resort to another program like AutoCAD for example?

I have a .dat file created by a third-party problemtype which I did not design. I do not have the complete GiD project. I am reconstituting the geometry using tcl native commands to read the .dat file and GiD_Process commands to draw the geometry. The .bas file for the problemtype I am using loops o...

Hello, my problem type outputs a dat file which I use as input for an external solver. For a particular project, I was given a .dat file only but not the complete .gid file. I would like to know if it is possible to recreate the project using only the .dat file? I have the .bas that was used to crea...

I would like to create an isometric view of my model with y pointing at the top. The isometric option under View>Rotate>isometric creates a view with z pointing at the top. How can I control isometric view please?

I am trying to assign some nodes in my newly generated mesh to another layer. Here is my current process: Right click in main screen Layer>send>nodes>layer1 keyboard: node1+enter, node2+enter keyboard:escape The nodes are successfully assigned to layer1 but I cannot see them. This implies that their...

Also what does gid.exe -b <batchfile> do?

How to start a remove session of GiD? using only TCL... no python?

I like to use python 1) As a central tool to control external applications (os, subprocess, Matlab engine, Python wrappers for FE software for example Abaqus) 2) As an analytical tool using numerical+visualization libraries (Matplotlib, numpy, vtk) to plot and interpret results GiD is also important...

I am trying to assign a varying condition to GiD model using a loop. Inside the loop is the following: set loadvalues {1.0 100.0 1000.0 100000.0} for {set i 0} {$i<[llength $loadvalues]} {incr i} { GiD_Process Mescape Data Materials AssignMaterial "Dry MC" Volumes 1 2 escape GiD_AccessValu...

I have a question that goes along the same lines. What if I need to generate a TCL list containing the names of all the materials that currently exist in my model? The reason is that I would like to loop through each material, assign it to the same volume, regenerate the mesh and output calc files. ...
