[GiDlist] Concentrating Mesh
Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2005 11:59 am
Hi,
Normally, latest GiD beta versions would have to point all vectors to the
same direction in "parallel" lines, as long as these lines owns to 4-sided
surfaces, in wich it can be recognised opposite lines ("parallel" ones).
If this is your case, please, send us the model to allow us to detect the
problem.
If lines does not belong to any surface, GiD actually does not recognize the
parallel lines, but we will work in this feature for next beta versions.
Note that you can swap line's normals before concentrating elements using:
- Utilities-Draw-Normals ContextualMenu-Swap Some in old GiD versions.
- View-Normals ContextualMenu-Swap Some in latest GiD beta versions.
So as all line's orientation points to the same direction, and as this way
will be drawn when concentrate elements funcion is called.
Regards,
ABEL

Hello everybody again,
my question concerns the generation of a structured mesh using the
concentrate elements function. When using this function vector appear on
each line selected. Often the vectors point in different direction on
parallel lines, therefore the element concentration setup process has to
be repeated for the lines pointing in the opposite direction.
Is there any possibility to influence the direction of the vectors?
Regards
Martin
