When trying to connect pre-existing points with a line in GiD I get the following error message: "Entering points in screen is forbidden when plane (z=0) is orthogonal in current view" It is true that the plane is orthogonal but this is how I want to enter my geometry. What is causing this...

Currently in order to modify a material I have to do the following: GiD_Process Mescape Data Materials NewMaterial default_material LinearElastic 1_phase_solid 201 SOLID 0.0 2038.76 1 0.0 0.0 0.0 Linear_Elasticity 101 UMAT_LinearElasticity.dll 0.0 5E4 0.3 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 ...

Also, maybe there is an indirect way to control GiD with Python? Since python can communicate with TCL/TK and GiD is built on TCL/TK?

Will this be incorporated in the future? I think it would be extremely useful to have a GiD-specific python library...something like

import GiD_process
code

Hello, I know it is possible to use RamDebug and TCL to automate creation of GiD models ...etc. This is very useful however I would like to see if I can take it a step further. The step is using Python. Question: Is there anyway to control GiD using python? I am not saying it is necessary to avoid T...

I am using GiD 13 on Windows 7 machine to generate geometries using RamDebugger for TCL. I have succeeded in solving the problem from the thread in this url: http://www.gidhome.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3715 Using the recommendations from the thread in this url: http://www.gidhome.com/forum/...

Hello, I am trying to see if there is a way to construct tcl macros in GiD and 'Debug' them line by line . I noticed that Utilities>Tools>Macros>Edit opens up a debugger called RamDebugger with my macro as a TCL procedure. The problem is when I click on File>Debug on>Start Debug nothing happens. I a...

Yes. This works thanks. But I ran into another related issue. What if the first point I am trying to add is an old/join point and the second point is a new/unjoined point. Starting from the same geometry above we have: GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line 0,-10,0 0.5,-10,0 20,-10,0 20,0,0 20,1,0...

I am trying to execute a simple macro with the following code: GiD_Process Mescape Geometry Create Line 0,-10,0 0.5,-10,0 20,-10,0 20,0,0 20,1,0 0.5,1,0 0,1,0 0,0,0 0,-10,0 old Mescape The idea is to join the last line to the first (already existing or old ) point. THe shape is constructed correctly...

Thank you very much
