Dear all,
ok, I have solved the problem, I have to make the surface on the z=0 plane to generate surface mesh out of linear bounary mesh. It is a little unconvenient, isn't it. Hope the GID can improve this function in the next version.
Best regards,
Chen

Dear ABEL and everyone,
I started from some simple cases, for example the rectangle, first mesh it by triangle, and then get the bounday mesh of linear segments. And then use the linear segments to generate the surface mesh. That works perfectly.
But, when I applied it to a little bit complex as a 3D case, some error appeared. Please see the attached msh file. I want to generate 3 rectanglar surface meshes from the linear elements, when I choose one rectangle to generate surface mesh, it said rejected 14037672 elements(must have the same z). I can guarantee each rectangle is on the same plane, and even I turn it into Z plane, it still give the same error.
Best regards,
Chen

Dear ABEL,
Your explanation is quite clear. It perfectly solve my problem.Thank you very much for your fast reply.
Best regards,

Dear Chen,
If you want to generate a volume mesh using GiD, you must be in one of these two situations:
- topological closed set of surfaces. In this case, you can create the volume (Geometry-Create-Volume) and generate the mesh (Mesh-Generate).
- a conformal mesh which close a volume (each edge have HigherEntity==2). In this case, you can generate the volume mesh selecting (Mesh-MeshFromBoundary), and selecting all the triangles closing the volume. This option is only available from the Right Buttons (you can set them by clicking 'Utilities-Tools-Toolbars').
If I have understood well, you are not in one of these cases, so you will have to do some work to reach one of these situations.
Kind regards,
ABEL

Asunto: [GiDlist] How to generate volume mesh out of surface mesh
Dear all:
I want to generate tetrahetron mesh of a cubic volume.
Now, I have 3 surface triangle meshes of the cubic. Basing on these meshes, I want to generate volume mesh without changing these 3 facets' mesh.
How can I realize it?
Best regards.
Chen Hao.

[GiDlist] RE: [GiDlist] RE: [GiDlist] How to generate volume
Dear Chen,
You are right: it is an inconvenient to force the user to have the "plane" geometry in the z=0 plane. This is like this because it was thought for 2d geometries (only taking care on x and y coordinates).
We will take it into account for next developments.
Kind regards, and thank you very much for the information,
ABEL
