[GiDlist] Visualization in 3D

Post by Billy Fälth »

Hello

I have a question about how GID handles different sets in post processing
mode. When I postprocess a 2D model, the different materials are put into
different surface sets but when I post process a 3D model, I only get one
volume set and no surface sets. Thus, I can’t show the different material
one by one. What can I do to come around this? When I mesh my 3D model, I
only mesh the volumes. Do I need to mesh also the surfaces to get a better
visualization in the postprocessor?



Regards

BF

You need to put different materials into different volume sets in 3D

It exists a variable: PropertyToPost
You can set its value to Layer (default) or to Material

Set this variable, for example to layer with:
Utilities Variables PropertyToPost Layer

Then, if you separate your volumes in different layers, when you change from pre to postprocess, the elements are also separated in sets.
