I am new to GiD and trying to use it for FEM Electromagnetic analysis, and
have run into a few issues relating between my analysis program and the
preprocessing stage. If anyone has experience and suggestions for doing
the following, please let me know.
1) Importing and exporting file formats from other CAD tools, NEUTRAL and
NASTRAN in particular, to do pre- and post-processing in GiD.
To import geometry: IGES, VDA, DXF, Parasolid (New version)
To export geometry: IGES, DXF (New version)
To import mesh: GiD format, NASTRAN format
To export mesh: Any problem type that must be created.
2) Incorporating the analysis into GiD environment by means of a specific
.bat shell script and .exe file in the problem_type directory. When call
mmy .bat file from the shell prompt, my analysis program runs just fine,
but GiD crashes on me when I try to run it by means of the "Calculate"
menu. The tutorial on the web page on this is available only in Spanish,
which is quite frustrating.
There is the new pre-release version 6.0b1 to download. It is available
in SGI, Linux and Windows.
The digital alpha UNIX has a version 5.0p47-1 with a bug fixed.
I advice everybody to download it.
If you want, you can send me the problemtype to see what happens.
About the tutorials: All of them are already in english in the web page
except one: the problem type creation one. It will be available at the end of
the month.
Best regards,
Thank you,
