GiD forum

Hi,

I have generated a model using Gid pre-processing and extract the OpenSees .tcl code file.
I have modified the file without changing nodes, elements, meshes, boundary conditions, location of loads and recorders.
I executed the OpenSees file and got the results in the same folder.
How can I use these results for post-processing?

I don't know which files are writting when running OpenSees.
Is it writing some results file with GiD postprocess format?
then the normal way is to have the GiD model as a folder with .gid extension
e.g.
<modelname>.gid
and inside there are the GiD files with the same name and different extensions, like <modelname>.geo for the geometry, <modelname>.msh for the preprocess mesh, etc.

The results file must be named <modelname>.post.res
then when changing from pre to post it will be automatically read
(a possible <modelname>.post.msh could replace the mesh for postprocess)

In postprocess mode you can also manually open a .post.res/.post.msh file selecting it with Files->Open...
(in preprocess model Files->Open... will read the whole model, represented by the <modelname>.gid folder)

The feature you are referring to will be fully supported in the upcoming v2.0.0 update which will be released on 8 May 2017.
