GiD 7.7.7b is a very old version for this rjump feature.=20
You must use one of the last beta versions (8.1.x)
(can get a temporary password for the 8.x version)
=20
Off course you can try to manually merge surfaces, but it can require a =
lot of work.
Last beta vesions include also a new command to merge surfaces with =
different algorithms (only from the boundary, or using more iformation =
from the interior)
This command is under test, and is only avaible at command line level =
(not from the menus)

I have tried your suggestion without success. I get the following =

Hi GiD team
I need some advice on remeshing deformed geometry.
I have done an structural analysis using large displacement =
(triangular) shell elements, I now want to create simplified geometry =
from the deformed mesh data.
I can use Enrique's method to produce new geometry of the part with =
triangle surfaces. These triangles will on average have a lower quality =
measure than the original undeformed mesh. I can see no way of producing =
a simplified surface model from this highly faceted dxf import so that I =
can mesh again with elements of a similar size but of better shape =
quality. I can re-mesh with smaller elements but all the existing nodes =
are not moved so any poor shaped surfaces will remain? Does this imply =
that I must manually delete surface & rebuild them again?
regards
mark

Hello Jos=E9,
=20
It's not easy to remesh over a previous mesh (e.g a mesh deformated =
while the analysis),
=20
You can import the GiD ASCII mesh of triangles as a "Surface mesh" =
and try to remesh it
or you can import each triangle as a surface (with the trick explained =
exporting as dxf) and try to remesh this geometry (can try to use rjump =
to avoid to have one or more new elements by triangle).=20
Whit the second approach do you have several tools to edit the =
geometry to solve the problems (the surface-mesh can't be handled with =
the classical geometrical tools)

Hi Mark,
=20
You can export from postprocess the deformated mesh (it's written in =
GiD mesh ASCII format)
and you can read this mesh with an external program to calculate the =
enclosed volume=20
(this volume calculation from a boundary mesh is trivial )
Or you can do a macro to ask GiD about the mesh and deformation =
result and calculate the volume with a tcl procedure (but ask the mesh =
with Tcl can be slow for big meshes)
=20
If do you need to do this calculation only once for this case, as =
trick, you can import the previous GiD mesh file in preprocess again, =
then export again as dxf with the DXFSap2000 template, and import again =
in GiD to convert each triangle in a surface. Then create a volume with =
this surfaces and ask his volume.
