Hi Benjamin,
There is a corrected bug in the 8.0.2 version, that will be available in the
next official version. It will be public very soon (today or the next week),
so you will be able to mesh your model.
I thought it was already fixed in the 8.0.2 version, so I’m sorry for have
not telling this to you before.
Thanks for notifying us this irregular behaviour of GiD.
Best regards,
ABEL

Asunto: Re: [GiDlist] quadrilaterals in circles
Hi Abel,
I get your point yes, but still I am not able to get it working myself.
If I define the interior cylinder volume as structured of semi-structured
GiD crashes. I am using version 8.0.2, so that should work...?

Hello,
You have to ensure that the line divisions are compatible.
For example: if you want to mesh one four-sided surface with structured
quadrilateral and you assign 2 and 3 number of divisions to opposite lines
of the surface, GiD will mesh both lines with 3 number of divisions, to make
the mesh compatible. May be this is the reason why your circle lines are
meshed with an odd number of divisions, even if you assign an even number of
it (in your case 2).
A part from that, which GiD version are you using? I recommend you to use
the last official version (8.0.2), because there are some bug fixed from
older versions.
Regards,
ABEL

I see that your mesh is indeed working, but I cannot discover what you
changed to make it work. I defined the volume as structured mesh and the
front and end circles as unstructured. I still get the error messages that
for the circular surface 'all contour lines must have an even number of
sides'. The circles have 8 sides and I defined two elements on each side. I
do not see why this doesn't work. Can you give me your approach?

Hello,
It seams that you had not assigned compatible meshing data to entities.
Using GiD, hexahedra elements can only be done using structured or
semi-structured volume mesh, so all the volumes must have this kind of
meshes. I send you an example of a possible mesh of your model.
Regards,
ABEL

You can also try the other option pointed by Abel: subdivide the circle in
4-sided structured parts.
I attach an image of two possible patterns. The second one can have
acceptable quality.

Hello all,
I have the following problem: I want to simulate the flow around a cylinder
in 3D. The cylinder must be detached from the sides of the domain in order
to see edge effects. The code that I am using accepts only hex elements;
basically I use quadrilaterals extruded tot a third dimension. The problem
now lies in modelling the two ends (circles) of the cylinder, since GiD does
not allow me to model them as quads... What is the solution for this?
Benjamin
