[GiDlist] Two assembled faces but with different number of
Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2006 3:06 pm
Hello Gid's users,
Some days ago, I made the following question:
"*I have a question about how I must work when I have two different
layers but which are assembled.
I must say that is a simple case in order to know the proper way to work.
I create the first layer (a 3D cube) and I create its volume, as it is
said in Gid manual. Later, I create the second layer which is another 3D
cube and, again, I create its volume.
When I show these two layers and I mesh it, the face shared by the two
cubes contains the double of nodes (ones for the first layer and others
for the second one). What I really want to get is to have only a series
of nodes in that face*."
Julian advised me to use (Utilities-collapse) and I got my aim. But
now, I would like to obtain another different goal. I would be very
grateful if you could help me.
I want the face of the first volume (which is on the first layer) to
have the double number of nodes than the face of the second volume
(which is on the second layer) but that the name of nodes that both
faces share, fit in.
Perhaps if I show some pictures, I can make easier what I want to say:
Name of nodes on the face of the first volume (one layer):
1_____2____3___4____ 5
| | | | |
|6_____|7___|8___|9____|10
| | | | |
|11___ |12__ |13__|14___|15
Name of nodes on the face of the second volume (another layer):
1__________3_________ 5
| | |
|6__________|8________ |10
| | |
|11_________|13_______ |15
It is clear that now I cannot use (Utilities-collapse). Any advice will
be welcome.
Thanks in advance and best regards
Isa
