[GiDlist] Invoking and editing tcl macros

Post by Dhankhar, Amit Kumar »

Hi,

Just a small follow up question- Which version of GID are you running? When I click the 'Edit Macro' button, I just see the macros listed and not the actual code. Could you let me know how can I can enable this so that I am able to edit any of the inbuilt tcl macros? Attached the screenshot of what I got.



Thanks

You can move a mesh node for example as you said, from the menu

Mesh-Edit mesh-Move node

And then pick the node and enter its new x,y,z coordinates in the lower
command line



That internally is converted into this GiD process commands:



MEscape Meshing EditMesh MoveNode $node_id $x,$y,$z Escape



Where node_id is the node number, and x y z the new location



And it exists also a more direct GiD-Tcl command:

GiD_Mesh edit node $node_id {$x $y $z}



You can create a Tcl procedure to set the quadratic node position you want
for all mesh nodes, and you can invoke this procedure in multiple ways

e.g. writing in the lower command line preceded by -np- your_procedure
(-np- mean 'no process' and then the next is expected to be a Tcl command)

of from a button of the 'macros toolbar'



In fact It already exists (hidden in the toolbar) a macro button very
similar, to re-locate the quadratic nodes aligned in the middle edge (e.g.
to avoid possible wrong jacobians in curved elements)



Have a look to the Tcl code of this macro: click the "Edit macros" button to
open the Macros window





And select the 'Align Quadratic Nodes' macro to see its Tcl code on the
right







From the window could set this macro visible in the toolbar or invoke it.



You can clone this macro to create your similar macro changing a little the
Tcl code to calculate the position you want instead of the mid-edge

Asunto: [GiDlist] GID move node feature?



Hi,

Could you tell me if GID provides a feature so that I can move some specific
nodes at specific distance for meshing purposes.
Basically I am interested to model tet10 (quadratic tetrahedrals) mesh
elements but nodes should be at (1/4)th distance rather than the default
middle location in the region where my crack exists in the material. I know
there is one "move node" feature but not really sure if that would suit my
purpose. Is there any easy way to do this in GID?
Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

[GiDlist] How to assign a gravity load (9810mm/s^s) in GiD

Post by Viahn Parazee »

Hi
I want to apply a gravity load to my structure. Does GiD take the density that I have specified in the material properties into account or do I have to assign a body load consisting of the unit weight of the material?
Thank you

[GiDlist] How to assign a gravity load (9810mm/s^s) in GiD

Post by escolano »

This kind of data must be defined by the problemtype,

GiD don't define any material or its properties like density, young modulus,
etc. It is the problemtype who define the conditions like 'load' and
material

properties that are needed for its simulation.



Which problemtype are you using? CompassFEM's RamSolid maybe?

Then the density is defined in the material and then to consider the gravity
load must assign the 'self weigth load to volumes (and then its material
density is used)
