Thank you for your very helpful reply. I see how I should be able to do
this, now.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a file named "dxf.bas" in any of my
directories.
Is there some way to generate that?
thanks much.

go to file import/export write using template.bas & select dxf.bas in your
gid templates directory, give the output file a name & you have written a
dxf file for your mesh.
you can then import it as a dxf file of geometry, if you only want linear
element & not surface elements use geometry:delete:surface & select all &
hay presto wireframe geometry.
I don't know if it works with solids?
If your elements are quadratic triangles/tets I have a template file which
writes out a mesh file linear elements (6 per triangle or 12 per tet) then
you can use the above method on this imported mesh file. It should be easy
enough to modify for Quad elements if needed.
Anyone who wants a copy just send an email & I'll send a copy of the
template files.

Subject: [GiDlist] Mesh export to DXF
Hi GIDers!
This is hopefully a quick one...
Is it possible to expert a structure's mesh to DXF, instead of just the
structure itself?
I only see the one option under the File drop down, to "Write to DXF". This
only exports the structure without the mesh.
thanks!

[GiDlist] Mesh export to DXF

[GiDlist] Mesh export to DXF
If your GiD version is updated, it exists a directory \templates (inside
your GiD directory), containing some
simple templates to export mesh (DXF.bas, NastranMesh.bas, STL.bas,
VRML.bas).
Any user can add more own templates
To export with the DXF.bas template use the menu
Files-Export-Using Template bas (mesh only)-DXF
If your GiD is old, update to the last GiD 7.2 version (the password is the
same foreach 7.x versions)
I' attach two templates, DXF.bas (included by default with GiD)
and DXFSAP2000.bas to write with some special style for input of the FE code
SAP2000.
(Copy this templates inside \templates)
Regards
Enrique Escolano
