[GiDlist] import dxf

[karma0]

hello
I am trying to import a file dxf generated in autocad. It is a topographical map with curved of level each meter, but when I import to gid and they are drawned curve each five meters.
I need to know if the Gid has some restriction with the files dxf and what proceedings i must take to generate and import those dxf.
I work with autocad2000.
thanks

DXF Export:
GiD only export curves in dxf format, not surfaces or volumes (because the limitations of this format with Nurb entities)

DXF Import:
Before import, check your import preferences: Automatic collapse after import (to join duplicated entities)
and the import tolerance (automatic or manual, to select the tolerance to join entities)

Generally DXF is a bad CAD format, for solid models is best to export from AutoCAD in Acis format.

Send us your dxf file to check it.

Regards
Enrique Escolano

Hi;
Imagine my mesh is moving in every time step, how can i visualize in
posprocess?
A lot of thanks
Pablo

[Enrique Escolano]

You can create in the result file *.flavia.res a vectorial result: the
displacement
from the original location of each node, and select this result to draw the
deformated mesh at each time step.

Hi Enrique
can you post a small example of this?
Thanks

Thanks Enrique;

But i have a trouble because, i mesh my model, and then the solver generate new
elements for moving in every step.

This is a small sample, with a 1 node element.
To see, change to postprocess and open the file .flavia.res or .flavia.msh

Open the Deform mesh window (menu Windows-Deform mesh)
and select Main mesh deformed, using result "Displacements", with a factor=1
Then open the Animate window, select Deformation, and play it.

If your mesh change between steps it is not available to use a displacement
result to visualize it.
You must write the mesh and result in separated files, one for time step..
It is also possible to create in GiD a specialized window programming with
tcl/tk, to animate your sequence of files.

Nice sample, thanks.
I understand that if i create new elements with my solver i have to create a new
.flavia.mesh.
Best regards

Hi there
I attached the file of using time step (Nonlinear
Dynamic) with GiD..Take a look. Flavia.res file format
is very simple, I used the old format. If you want to
see more deformed shape just use Mesh Deform option
with factor=1, in PostProcess. I used 1/4 of Moley to
do analysis if you want to see nice shape just use
Mirror option.. Follow as Enrique adviced in
previous mail with the Animate.

Regards
