[GiDlist] GID 7.2 problems with TECPLOT input

Post by D.M. Lipinski »

Dear All,
I'm having problems with reading TECPLOT files into GID (Ver.7.2). Even the
simplest TECPLOT data set fails to read correctly. To illustrate my problem
here's a simple two-element (hexahedral) data set in TECPLOT FE format (the
data file is also attached to this email).

TITLE = "Sample data set"
VARIABLES = "X", "Y", "Z", "Value"
ZONE T="Sample 2 hex elements" N= 12, E= 2, F=FEPOINT, ET=BRICK
0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
1.0 0.0 0.0 3.0
1.0 1.0 0.0 4.0
0.0 1.0 0.0 2.0
0.0 0.0 1.0 1.5
1.0 0.0 1.0 3.5
1.0 1.0 1.0 4.5
0.0 1.0 1.0 2.5
2.0 0.0 0.0 6.0
2.0 1.0 0.0 8.0
2.0 0.0 1.0 9.0
2.0 1.0 1.0 12.0

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
2 9 10 3 6 11 12 7

This file reads in correctly into TECPLOT Ver. 9.2 (see the attached gif
files Tecplot_grid.gif and Tecplot_values.gif), but it reads incorrectly
into GID (see the GID_input file). GID somehow misses the last nodal point
12. Instead it connects all the edges going to the node 12 with the node 1.

I'm new to GID, perhaps I'm doing something wrong; please advice.

with regards

[GiDlist] GID 7.2 problems with TECPLOT input

Post by Miguel A. de Riera Pasenau »

Yes, you're right, there is a bug in GiD while reading bricks in
tecplot format ( it doesn't read the seventh node).
solved for the next version
