Gauss point result assignation

Post by ivan.mr4 »

Hello,

I have a problem with the assigment of the results on Gauss Points in the correct mesh.

I have 2 hexahedra meshes and 2 different Gauss Point assignations 1 per each mesh.
The problem is that the Gauss Point results from one of them are appearing also in the other mesh.

I´ll attach the files mesh and results.

In this example the result "iFirstDomain" is applied to the mesh "dentro" but it appears in the meshes "dentro" and "fuera".


Should I renumbered all the elements of the meshes so they don´t share the same element number?

Thank You!

Greetings.

Hello,

Yes, you should use different elements number for each mesh.

Hello,

I have try ordering the numbers so they dont repeat but i continue having the same problem
The "I" results, that should applied only to one element, are appearing in other element of other mesh, with ramdom values of result.
It looks some problem in GiD becasuse it disappear qhen i delete the other result applied to a 3 element that has nothing to do with the 2 first.

I will attach the files and a picture so it is more clear.


Thank you!

Hi,
yes this is a bug when reading asscii files with results on gauss points for some elements.
Although they are drawn incorrectly, you can export them in binary format (Files-->Export-->Post information -->binary (whole model)),
and then read them again in GiD.
Then they will be correctly drawn.

Sorry for the inconvenience, it will be corrected for the next versions.

thanks,

Hi again,
after reviewing the bug, the problem lies in mixing 'standard' GP definition and 'user' defined GP.
In your case GP_TETRAHEDRA_4 and GaussPoints "H"
If you define, for instance

Code: Select all

GaussPoints "H4" ElemType Tetrahedra
Number Of Gauss Points: 4
Natural Coordinates: Internal 
End gausspoints  
and
...

Code: Select all

Result "B" "Load Analysis"  1  scalar OnGaussPoints "H4" 
...
instead of GP_TETRAHEDRA_4

then you'll get the correct visualization.

As mentioned earlier this will be corrected for the next version, so that you will be able to mix standard GP definitions, like GP_TETRAHEDRA_4
and your definitions.

thanks

Miguel

Thank you very much for the fast response :)

I will make the change so they won´t mix for now until the correction.

Thank you again.

Greetings,

Iván.
