[GiDlist] Element connectivity problem (repost)
Send by: Roger Young I posted this inquiry before Xmas but it may have got lost in the rush,
hence this repost.
Basically the problem concerns the GiD connectivity format which is
apparently incompatible with my application. Is there any way to
control/alter this format (particularly when specifying the
connectivity of surfaces)?
Roger Young.
*********************************************************************
Hello, I am trying to prepare a customized connectivity
data in a particular format ("ucd"). The data file
is created correctly following the specified template,
but it is incompatible with the orientations assumed
in the application (using the deal.II FE library).
Is it possible to specify the connectivity ordering in GiD?
For example, GiD has left-handed axes, but deal.II assumes
a right-handed system. Probably if I could work with right-handed
axes in GiD I could solve my problem? What is the recommended
procedure for working with differently ordered systems? I looked
at the "swap" feature and at defining a "local coordinate system"
but could not see how to make these work.
To make clear my problem I list below 2 ucd data files, the first (a) has been
produced by GiD, the second (b) is done by hand. The 2 formats are not
compatible because of the different implied orderings. The GiD file (a)
does not work with my application, whereas (b) is accepted.
Thanks for your help.
Seasons Greetings,
Roger Young.

[GiDlist] Element connectivity problem (repost)
Send by: Enrique Escolano In your problemtype *.bas file, you can write the 'GiD default' element connectivities with *elemsconec, or can write your own order with *elemsconec(<number>), where <number> is a integer from 1 to the element number of nodes In fact, in your sample (a): 0 0 hex 7 6 2 4 5 3 0 1 the connectivities are not the GiD default !!! The vector product 7-6 X 6-2 by default points inside the element, but in your sample it points outside. Instead the default order: *loop elems *elemsnum hex *elemsconec *end elems Can select your own output order, for example: *loop elems *elemsnum hex *elemsconec(1) *elemsconec(2) *elemsconec(3) *elemsconec(4) *elemsconec(5) *elemsconec(6) *elemsconec(7) *elemsconec(8) quad 0 *elemsconec(1) *elemsconec(2) *elemsconec(3) *elemsconec(4) quad 1 *elemsconec(5) *elemsconec(6) *elemsconec(7) *elemsconec(8) ... *end elems If your nodes number must start from 0 instead to 1, can use the *operation command: *elemsnum hex *operation(elemsconec(1)-1) *operation(elemsconec(2)-1) , etc Regards Enrique Escolano ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Young" <...

Send by: Enrique Escolano If a GiD hexahedral has the nodes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
then the vector product of the vectors 12 and 23 points inside (to the opposite face 5 6 7 8)
but in your (b) sample this vector product points outside, must swap the nodes 2-4 and 6-8
For the elements you must then write: (using numeration beginnig by 1, not 0)
*elemsconec(1) *elemsconec(4) *elemsconec(3) *elemsconec(2) *elemsconec(5) *elemsconec(8) *elemsconec(7) *elemsconec(6)
In Other hand, you can identify the face marked by a condition, the Implicit GiD Hexahedra faces are: 1234 1562 2673 3784 1485 5876
For example, the first face is 1234. Checking the second node, only this face has the node number 2 (local numeration) at this second location
*if(LocalNodes(2)==2)
This is the first Face
*endif
All GiD faces ABCD vector product ABxBC points inside the element, but in your sample (b) the faces numeration is different,
some faces points inside and some faces outside
This can be your bas file corrected (it's attached inside ucd.zip)

Send by: VSayako Willy Hi Enrique, a GiD Team, and all I tried to get the information from .prb file by using [.central.s info gendata FIELDNAME] but it said "argument is wrong".. What does it really mean by OTHERFIELDS and BOOKS after <gendata> if I have for example: QUESION:Stress_Coefficient VALUE:1 Then to get the value from FIELD: Stress_Coefficient [.central.s info gendata Stress_Coefficient] I wrote as above but got warning message as a "Wrong argument".. How would it be?? Regards. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Hotjobs: Enter the "Signing Bonus" Sweepstakes http://hotjobs.sweepstakes.yahoo.com/signingbonus... [GiDlist] tcl [.central.s info gendata OTHERFIELDS]
Send by: Enrique Escolano .central.s info gendata
returns a list with the field names and current values, then you can get easy get from this list the desired field value, for example:
set Stress_Coefficient [lindex [.central.s info gendata] 2]
But, instead to access to field values by index, it's more easy to maintain the code (if are added or removed fields) using the fieldname
Inside the file dev_kit.tcl is defined a tcl procedure for this pourpose: proc GidUtils::GetProblemDataValue { fieldname }
For example, you must use
set Stress_Coefficient [GidUtils::GetProblemDataValue Stress_Coefficient]
The parameter OTHERFIELDS returns the value of other special fields, as HELP, DEPENDENCIES,
but in your sample only use QUESTION and VALUE, and then it not exists other fields.
The parameter BOOKS only has sense if are defined BOOKS in your problemtype
Note: With the field Book it is possible to split the data windows in other windows. For example, we can have two
windows for the materials, one for the steels and another for the concretes

[GiDlist] Element connectivity problem (repost)
Send by: Roger Young I made some progress with my connectivity problem...
With reference to p.200 (GlobalNodes) of the Reference Manual I think what I need to do is to
reverse the orientation on some of the faces namely
1562 --> 1265
2673 --> 2376
5876 --> 5678
In my model these faces are tagged 0,3,4 respectively. Hence in the Tag section of ucd.bas I have
something like
*# Tags over faces
*set cond FaceTag *elems *canrepeat
*loop elems *OnlyInCond
*set var n=cond(Tag,int)
*if((n==0)||(n=3)||(n=4))
*recnum *cond(Tag) quad *operation(globalnodes(1)-1) *operation(globalnodes(4)-1) *
*operation(globalnodes(3)-1) *operation(globalnodes(2)-1)
*else
*recnum *cond(Tag) quad *operation(globalnodes(1)-1) *operation(globalnodes(2)-1) *
*operation(globalnodes(3)-1) *operation(globalnodes(4)-1)
*endif
*set var recnum=operation(recnum+1)
*end elems
*#
Although this works for a number of examples it does seem a little ad hoc. What if I have a more
complicated model which is not a cuboid (but still using hex elements)? How can I identify which
boundary face elements need a reversed orientation for compatibility with the Deal library??
Since there is a consistent ordering in both GiD and Deal there must be a canonical transformation
between the two....
Could I ask for your opinion?
Regards,
Roger Young.

Enrique: Thanks very much for your comments, they have been very helpful.
However I am still not able to bring the two orderings (a) and (b)
into coincidence. The tag (quad) section in (a) has the following interpretation:
0 5103 front y=0 -> 5301
1 7624 back y=1
2 2014 bottom z=0
3 7415 right x=1 -> 7514
4 7537 top z=1 -> 7635
5 6302 left x=0
col1: tag number
col2: the 4 nodes defining the quad surface
col4: quad plane
col3: description of quad
The ordering (a) can be made equivalent to (b) by making the changes shown,
but only in tags 0,3,4. Thus a global reordering (the same for each quad)
is not what is required.

For example, if your model is saved in C:/tmp/test.gid, then your result file must be inside this directory and must be named C:/tmp/test.flavia.res (or C:/tmp/test.flavia.post) (when you change from pre to postprocess this files are automatically loaded, but if you use another name, mush open it manually from the postprocess) Read GiD help about Posprocessing data files.

Send by: Andres Peratta I need to postprocess my results along a sequence of points in a 3D mesh. I normally use the command CUTWIRE and then apply BORDER_GRAPH to the resulting cut. However, CUTWIRE presents a big problem: The points of my cutwire are not coincident with the nodes of the mesh, ( where the results are prescribed ). In fact, the distance between two consecutive points in the cutwire is small in comparison with the size of the adjacent elements (tetrahedrons). For this reason somehow GID does not respect the coordinates that I enter by hand, and the points of the cutwire are automatically located in any other place thus generating a distorted cutwire. This must be an internal algorithm used to detect near postprocessing nodes. Now, I just would like cutwire to respect the coordinates that I introduce by hand so I could export the right coordinates of the points entered by hand to an ASCII file, and use my own interpolation method to rebuild the results there. Do you have any suggestion about it ? Is it possible to override the command cutwire with any tcl script in order to prevent that automatic relocation of the points that define the cutwire ? thanks in advance, Andres ... [GiDlist] problems with cutwire
Send by: Enrique Escolano At this moment, the cutwire points must be located over element edges. Iif the selected point is not over a edge is moved to a near edge
It's not possible to override this command because is internal to the C++ kernel, is not a tcl procedure.
But it's possible to make another own tcl procedure for your pourposes:
1) This procedure can collect and store in a tcl variable a list of points
Can request the user for a point with the tcl command GidUtils::GetCoordinates, for example
set coord [GidUtils::GetCoordinates [= "Enter node coordinates"] NoJoin]
2) Then can write this points to a file, and run your code to calculate your own interpolated result
3) Your code can write this results as a graph Ascii file (to see a sample format, Files->Export->Graph),
and read it inside GiD with:
.central.s process escape escape escape results graphs readgraph "filename"
Note: In the last beta 7.7.4b , it's also possible to draw inside GiD directly with OpenGL, but this feature is currently undocumented.
For this pourpose, it's defined a new tcl procedure: drawopengl
can make a step 1.5) and define a function to draw the selected points connected by lines
For example:
proc MyDrawFunction { } {
set color "0 0 0" ;#rgb black
drawopengl draw -color $color -begin lines
drawopengl draw -vertex "0 0 0"
drawopengl draw -vertex "1 1 1"
drawopengl draw -end
}
#register this MyDrawFunction procedure to be called when need a redraw
set id [drawopengl register MyDrawFunction]
.central.s process redraw
# ...
#unregisted when is not needed
catch { drawopengl unregister $CreateMeshPriv(drawopengl) }
The commands for drawopengl draw are practically all valid OpenGL commands.

[GiDlist] postprocess
Send by: aliok at boun.edu.tr Hi, I want to learn something about the postprocess. I created an input file using GID then I run this file in another solver. This solver gives the results in a fixed format. When I want to import the result files into GID, do I need to create a .tcl file or any alternative ways to import the result into GID?

Send by: Enrique Escolano Ansys is a "closed" code, and it not writes their results in the required GiD format. Then, with a small tcl procedure it's read the standard ansys output file, and is written another file with GiD postprocess format. The bat file is used to run ansys (and other possible auxiliry programs, for example to transform the output file) In other cases, the code developers can write directly in GiD postprocess format, and then it's not necessary this translation. Code developers can download from our web the 'gidpost' library. A library to be linked from C/C++ or Fortran, to write GiD posprocess ascii or binary compressed format. In other hand, Ansys is not the best problemtype sample. The problemtype Nastran as a good customization sample.

----------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone,
I have two minor problems I would like to get rid of:
In EndGIDProject I use this code:
if { $NewProblemType == "Yes" } {
after 1000 RestoreColors
}
but the RestoreColors doesn't work properly, and
sometimes I need to give the same open command
twice for opening a .gid "directory-file". Is there
any other more reliable way to restore the original
colours without using the "after command"?
(changing the time delay doesn't eliminate the
problem).
WhenI open a file that belongs to my ProblemType
having the ProblemType already loaded I always
receive this message:
Project 'utilities' doesn't exist or it is a problem
type. Leaving.
Apart from the message itself, this hasn't caused
any more troubles and I normally just close the
dialog.
I have no Idea where this could come from, and I
tried to modify something but nothing has worked
...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Best Regards

Then make manually the desired motions (translations, rotations, etc) using the "Move" tool (Utilities->Move), and selecting the desired entities to move. After this, can repeat this batch file, for example with utilities->Graphical->Read batch window (can run it step by step, etc.) With Utilities->Graphical->Animation controls can also save all screen redraws inside an avi or mpeg animation file.

Send by: Enrique Escolano It's not necessary to create and delete geometric curve entities. It exists a new feature to directly draw inside GiD
with OpenGL commands, using the tcl drawopengl procedure. It's a undocumented feature.
I attach a small problemtype, as sample to draw an auxiliary box around the model.
This is the file DrawBox.tcl content:
proc InitGIDProject { dir } {

set DrawBox(drawopengl) [drawopengl register testdrawbox]

Send by: Enrique Escolano It is not necessary to write a file and read it from tcl, you can get
directly this information from tcl:
set res [.central.s info conditions Line_BC mesh]
this tcl command returns a subitems list, where each item has:
<element number> <face local number> - <value1> ... <value n>
for example, returns some similar to:
{2 1 - 0.0} {18 1 - 5.3 0.2} {6 1 - 9.8 1.0} {13 1 - 4.6 1.5} ...
So, the local implicit GiD numeration of the faces is:
Triangle: 12 23 31
Quadrilateral: 12 23 34 41
Tetrahedra: 123 243 341 421
Hexahedra: 1234 1562 2673 3784 1485 5876
You can also get info about the elements if needed
for example:
.central.s info list_entities elements 2 18 6 13
Note: To test easily this info commands, can write in the command line some
as:
-np- WarnWinText [.central.s info list_entities elements 2 18 6 13]

When I loaded the problemtype in GiD the “Erroro Info” message box was displayed with the following error: VoidPlex::set_at. Repeated index 17 And then, closing the message box, GiD closed too. After some checks in the condition file I tried to change the condition number and I “jumped” to the number 18: everything was OK!

Hello,
For quadratic elements, nodes are positioned over the geometry,
either lines of surfaces.
Is this your case? If you have a recent GiD version (a beta version),
there is a new option in
preferences to see the quadratic elements with curved edges.

Send by: Enrique Escolano Dear Sir.
The quadratic nodes are not located at the midpoint element edge, are located over the source curved line, and it this curve
is not uniformly parameterized, then the point with mid parameter (0.5 ) must be far the midpoint curve.
You can use some trick to move this quadratic nodes to the mid-egde,
for example, I attach a sample problemtype to move this nodes automatically after generate the mesh, using some Tcl procedure.

[GiDlist] Mesh problem
Send by: Enrique Escolano Dear Sir.
The quadratic nodes are not located at the midpoint element edge, are located over the source curved line, and it this curve
is not uniformly parameterized, then the point with mid parameter (0.5 ) must be far the midpoint curve.
You can use some trick to move this quadratic nodes to the mid-egde,
for example, I attach a sample problemtype to move this nodes automatically after generate the mesh, using some Tcl procedure.

The condition Contour_Line has been applied to all the model lines.
I then mesh with a Structured mesh all the surfaces using 2 as number of cells for all the lines.
The answer to the command "-np- WarnWinText [.central.s info conditions Contour_Line mesh]"
is here included in tabular form (with the elements reordered to check how many times each appears).
Every element in this particular case should appears 2 times, since it has two different lines with the
Contour_Line as boundary. But for example elements 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 19, 20 appear only one time, and
element 13, 17, 18 are completely missing.

Send by: Enrique Escolano At this moment, the conditions 'over face elements' are implemented only to be transferred to the elements on boundary faces, For surfaces are considered as boundary only the lines with "higherentity"=1, (or lines with "higherentity"=1 shared by two surfaces with different material). (use menu Meshing->Boundaries to visualize this boundary) Your case is a "closed" cube: all lines are considered as interior, and some conditions are transferred only to some elements, not to all elements. At this moment you must use some trick, for example to assign a different material to each surface to force the interface lines be considered as boundary.

thanks for the suggestion about how to use the condition "Contour_Line".
I now assign automatically a material to each surface with the following codes:
In the .mat file:
NUMBER: 4 MATERIAL: Fictitious
QUESTION: NoQuestion
VALUE: 1
TKWIDGET: MaterialWidget::Control Surfaces "NoQuestion real+"
END MATERIAL
In the .tcl problemtype file:
proc SetFictsMats { } {
for { set i 1 } { $i <= [NumSurfaces] } { incr i } {
set MatName "Fictitious$i"
.central.s process escape escape escape escape
.central.s processdata materials newmaterial Fictitious $MatName 1 escape
.central.s process data mat assign $MatName Surfaces $i escape
}
}
and SetFictsMats gets executed before auto applying the "Contour_Line" condition.
Everything works fine. In the next GiD release I'll avoid the procedure.
Kind Regards

[GiDlist] Compatible blocks
Send by: Cristina Costa Hello All, I’m trying to generate a mesh of volumetric elements, of compatible bricks, and interface element, between compatible bricks to use in software CAST3M. The generation processes have two distinct phases. The 1st phase is developed in GID and consists in generating a volumetric element mesh of compatible bricks; after that, in order to be read in software CAST3M, a data file is written using a *.bas file. The 2nd phase is developed in CAST3M, after having imported the data file generated in 1st phase, and consists in automatically generating interface elements between compatible bricks. However, the automatic generation of interface elements in CAST3M (2nd phase) using the data file information related with nodes and volumetric elements is not working properly, because those different blocks should not have the same interface nodes, i.e. the nodes should have the same coordinates but a different identification. More specifically, GID seems to be generating compatible blocks with common nodes, i.e. not duplicated as it would desirable for defining interface (joint) elements. On the contrary, CAST3M needs such common nodes to be duplicated, and it can perform this task if the corresponding information of each block in the output file is allocated in different groups of data (one group per block). I tried to use a *.cnd file to assign one different condition to each block and it indeed was possible to separate the information of different blocks. However this procedure becomes very hard because I’ve a lot of blocks to consider (±1100 blocks). For this reason can you suggest me same ideas to write a data file with these characteristics, or any another strategy likely to generate duplicated nodes belonging to adjacent and compatible blocks? Thank you, Regards Cristina Costa _____________________________________________________________________ Serviço de Webmail do Instituto Politécnico de Tomar ( IPT ) ... [GiDlist] Compatible blocks
Send by: Ramon Ribó Cristina, You can duplicate one surface in GiD geometry by using: Utilities->Uncollapse. If the surface is duplicated, the nodes will be duplicated. If you want to make sure that the duplicated nodes share the same position, use contacts between surfaces: Geometry->Create->Contact volume You will need to make heavy use of layers in order to manage properly duplicated surfaces. Alternatively, you can use materials or conditions or even the same layers, in order to define your groups.

[GiDlist] From GID7.2 to GID7.4.6b: .central.s process escape escape escape data problemdata singlefield
Send by: IEEA Hello,
I am trying to update my customization, from GID7.2 to GID7.4.6b and I
have some problems :
In my past version, I used the function:
".central.s process escape escape escape data problemdata singlefield"
to send data to the problem data window (see example). It seems that
this command is no more avalaible. Is there an other command ?
Particularly, is there a command that is understood both by GID 7.2 and
GID7.4.6b.
Thank you,
G.W.R. Geis
Example:
---------
proc FreqToData {} {
global FREQ
.central.s process escape escape escape data problemdata singlefield
Frequency $FREQ
}

to use
.central.s process escape escape escape data problemdata singlefield
for GiD 7.4.6b or higher, must use
.central.s process escape escape escape data problemdata -SingleField-
Note: Can check the current GiD version and use a different command if required, for example:
if { [GidUtils::VersionCmp 7.3.0] >= 0 } {
.central.s process Data ProblemData -SingleField- $fieldname $fieldvalue escape
} else {
.central.s process Data ProblemData SingleField $fieldname $fieldvalue escape

Send by: Anssi Markus Laukkanen Hi, I'm working on a problem where I'm animating a very large number of solution steps during which the observer also moves depending on the solution. I got this working by writing a batch file, but due to the large domain and movement of the observer, I probably have to apply an additional smoothing routine because the observers movement & solution in general cause the animation to appear a bit "unstable" (i.e. it oscillates to some extent). Since I would rather not act on the actual raw data I'm animating, what would be the simplest way of doing over the timestep data smoothing ? Appreciate any ideas, Anssi Laukkanen ...

Send by: Andrea Calaon Hello everyone, I'm using Gauss point results in post-processing to visualize a stress tensor field which is actually very smooth (in many cases C infinite). At present I don't calculate the field values on the elements boundary. I use min and max as a means of evaluating the quality of the solution obtained. When using "Contour Fill" (or the smoothed one), I get legend values for the min and max which depend on the kind of local approximation used by GiD on the element in case of Gauss Points. Which is exactly the approximation GiD uses for displaying Gauss point results? A second question is: Would it be possible to give Gauss point coordinates laying on the element boundary or very near it?

Send by: Enrique Escolano The Gauss point values are extrapolated to the nodes, using the "standard" Finite Element shape funcions. This is a polynomial (or product of polynomials in each direction) of degree n interpolates n+1 values, then using this function are extrapolated the nodal element values. The gauss point coordinates can be on the element boundary without problems. The values extrapolated to nodes are not continuous between neighbourg elements, for a smooth result must be calculated an averaged single nodal value.

You can cange it only from tcl,
For example, try to write this tcl order in the lower command line:

-np- $::wChangeLay.middle.list.lb configure -font {size 11}

[GiDlist] Animations
Send by: Philippe Bouchilloux Hello: I need to create animations of my results. My results are typically composed of U and phi (those are calculated nodal data), so I create an animation with n frames based on U·sin(2·pi·t + phi) where t varies from 0 to 1 by increments of 1/n. The important point here is that both U and phi are nodal vectors, which means that 2 sets of nodal results are used to generate this animation. At the current time, the only method I found to create this animation in GiD is by created a temporary _flavia.res file containing my n frames. To run the animation, I need to generate, save, then load this _flavia.res file. I have also had to modify the original animation controls (PostAnimate.tcl) so that the undeformed position does not get plotted with running an endless animation (frame 0 does not necessarily correspond to rest position). When the animation is finished, I have to reload the computation result, so that I can pick another case to animate. So this is working, but is somewhat cumbersome and slow. Furthermore, it looks like that the changes in the more recent GiD betas are incompatible with my previous tweaking of the animation controls. You have included (a few releases back) a nice method to generate the animation of a static analysis (with linear, triangular, sine, etc. interpolation). Here, only one data set (the deformation U) is used, but the interpolation is done on the fly, hence it is quick and clean. This is exactly what I am trying to do, except I need to be able to select my results (2 data sets for both U and phi vectors) before starting the animation. I have looked for a script for this static animation in the scripts library, but found none, so I guess this is part of the compiled source. The question is the following: Is there any way I can integrate my animation in the same way that you did the static animation (generated on the fly), or do I have no other alternative than using my intermediate _flavia.res file? Thanks! Philippe ... [GiDlist] Animations
Send by: Enrique Escolano At this moment, the only way is written and reading a postprocess file, but for next versions we planned to add a new command to create/delete results.

Send by: Zhihong Liu Hi, I met a problem with "isosurface" in postprocessing. The isosurface was used in my heat transfer analysis to show certain temperature profile evolution. The isosurface, however appears some sharp corners, due to the disretization of tetrahedral elements. Theoretically the temperature profile should be a smooth one. Therefore, I am wondering if GiD has functions, like filters that can filter our the high-order corners and keep a nearly smooth surface. Many thanks.

For shells, the user must define the sense. However, this command accepts the argument swap and this implies that the ordering of the nodes in quadratic elements will be inverted. The connectivities are considered as integer numbers (see *intformat and *format)." Este es el tema en que estaba tratando de entender.

[GiDlist] Re: draw some materials?
Send by: Enrique Escolano It not exists any intrinsic command to draw a group of materials at same time, only is possible to draw one by one or all.
Now it's not possible to do it with tcl.
With the next GiD 7.4.10b beta version will be possible, by using a new GiD-tcl command : drawopengl drawentity, to draw a GiD entity
This is a sample to draw the surface number 1 filled with blue color.
Instead to draw this surface number 1, can use some info command to select the surfaces with the desired material.
proc InitDrawSurface { } {
set ::MyPriv [drawopengl register drawsurface1]
GiD_Process redraw
}
proc drawsurface1 { } {
#set color=blue (rgb=0 0 1) and draw filled the surface number 1
drawopengl draw -color { 0.0 0.0 1.0 }
drawopengl drawentity -mode filled surface 1
}
proc EndDrawSurface { } {
drawopengl unregister $::MyPriv
}

you have to:
1. in the window 'Windows->Several results', under the label 'Results view:'
click 'one over another'.
2. the do a Contour fill with your results and options
3. then do a iso surface with your exact value:
a. View Results->Iso Surface->Exact->(your result)
b. it will ask you 'how manu isosurfaces?' you'll need only one.
c. the enter the exact value of your material: 0.5,
d. inside use 'Options->Iso surfaces->Display Style' and 'Options->Iso

and that's it!
enjoy it,

Hi everyone,
I'm using GiD 7.4.9 b in Windows for post processing files of 3D elasticity and the
command:
label Select resultonview (using the mouse)
seems not to work. My result is a gauss points one.
To have a quick look at the result values I have to zoom so that the displayed part
contains only few elements and than use
label resultonview
.
I had the same problem with previous versions of GiD but it seemed to be rotation
dependent: the command worked if the labels were mostly outside the model surface.
With this version the command never works.
I append a zip file with an example called "Slab_4.gid".
Thanks for any help.

Send by: Fernanda Caffaratti Hola a todos Rafael, te cuento que sumé todas las componentes de fuerzas en x,y,z, por cada nodo, como me indicaste. La suma , para cada nodo, es diferente de cero, por lo que las fuerzas no estarían relacionadas al systema global de coordenadas. En mi caso particular, tengo una geometría a la cual aplico un fluido (viento) en la dirección del eje global X (perpendicular al plano yz). Las "presiones" en los nodos correspondientes a la superficie en el plano yz, tienen valores positivos, pero la componente x de la fuerza en dichos nodos es negativa. No tiene sentido que la fuerza apunte en sentido contrario a la dirección del fluido. Las normales de las superficies apuntan todas hacia fuera de la geometría. Por eso pienso que las fuerzas calculadas por Tdyn son relativas a las normales y no a los ejes globales. A mi me interesaría obtener las fuerzas en relación a los ejes globales, pero no sé como puedo hacer esto. Espero que puedan ayudarme.

Send by: Enrique Escolano It does'nt exists other options. In other hand, the move point option only must be used with "small" displacements, because it's not possible to deform the dependent lines and surfaces in a compatible mode. Note: you can try a "dark" trick to change your arcline for another similar curve: Create the new curve with an identifier number smaller than the old arcline, and collapse this two curves with the appropiate tolerance, then the curve with higher numeration is changed by the other. For example, before to create the new arc, you can force his identifier number to be 1 geometry create arc number 1 ... Then set the preference Import tolerance value to be a little big that the maximum distance between this curves and collapse them (menu Utilities->Collapse->Lines), and restore the Import tolerance value.

Send by: Philippe Bouchilloux Hello: Recently, I have encountered a problem that, I think, is linked to the Collapse Model feature in GiD. The attached file is in Parasolid format, and was generated from SolidWorks. If you import it in GiD (I tried 7.2 and 7.4.9b, with nicer results in 7.4.9b), it seems to generate a correct geometry, which essentially is a square plate. The SolidWorks model was created with 8 duplicated surfaces (the surfaces that form the first central ring in the plate). After import, I use the Collapse Model feature to remove these surfaces. I have to manually change the import tolerance, because the default value is too small, which is surprising (this is the first time I have this situation). Additionally, this behavior is unchanged even if I scale up the geometry (using Utilities | Move | Scale). Once the 8 surfaces are removed by the Collapse Model feature, the geometry "looks" fine. However, if you mesh it using the structured mesh generator with quadratic elements, and apply 2 subdivisions everywhere except in the thickness direction where you apply 3 subdivisions, then you will clearly see that the elements being generated are malformed at the level of the first central ring. This leads me to think that the Collapse feature has done something "strange" to the volumes that are attached to that first central ring where the surfaces were removed (maybe topological errors), which causes the mesher to create bad elements. Note that this problem won't happen if you delete all volumes and have GiD regenerate the volumes, or if you do not collapse the model. Maybe the issue is caused by the Parasolid import filter? In this case, can you recommend a version number for that format (SolidWorks can export in several different versions of that format)? Thanks for your inputs.

In other hand, if only want count the number of elements of some type, instead to use *set/add/remove, can add a parameter to *nelem, for example: *nelem(linear) *nelem(triangle) *nelem(quadrilateral) *nelem(all) Regards Enrique Escolano ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philippe Bouchilloux" <...

[GiDlist] Assigning different materials to volume and its surfaces
Send by: Antti Vanne Hello all, what's the easiest way to create a volume and assign different materials to the volume and to the surfaces of which the volume is made of? For example, if I create a rectangle surface and extrude it to a cube and further create volume by Geometry -> Create -> Volume -> Search inside it, I'm able to assign different materials to the surfaces and to the volume. But once I create the mesh and draw materials, there's only the material assigned to the volume. So it seems that "lower" entities inherit their material property from the higher entities. Are duplicate surfaces needed? Do the "contact volumes" have anything to do with this problem? I've browsed through the manual, but didn't find chapters addressing this problem. Thanks in advance. -- ... [GiDlist] Assigning different materials to volume and its surfaces
Send by: Enrique Escolano When you generate the mesh of the volume, are only generated volumetric (tetrahedra) elements, and inherit the volume material, but are not generated surface elements (triangles). If you also want this triangles, mush use: Meshing->Mesh criteria->Mesh->Surfaces and select the desired surfaces. Then this triangles will have the material of the source surface.

Send by: Gabriel Preda Hi. I am new around. I work for a company comercializing a stand-alone high performance electromagnetic analysis software (EMSolution from SSIL Inc. Tokyo, Japan); I was testing Gid in view of recommending as the pre/post-processor of choice for our clients. Currently we recommnend FEMAP but as our customer pool is increasing (and their budget size average is shrinking) Gid becames very interesting. We currently include NASTRAN as preprocessor format for our software so the transfer must be very smooth, we thought. But, surprise, our Windows version release 7 Gid (1 month trial version) exports NASTRAN 2D mesh (first trials) in a strange form, as follows: -if only triangular mesh is present in a model, material properties (or property ID's) set to elements are outputted correctly in NASTRAN format; -if only quad mesh is present in a model, material properties (or property ID's) set to elements are all reset to the last ID; for example, if we define 4 property ID's (and thereforre, the mesh must have 4 different regions each with his own property), the exported mesh will have only one property. -if the mesh contains both tri and quad subdomains (let's say, surfaces meshed with tri mesh and quad mesh), the NASTRAN mesh is outputted with 2 properties: one is assigned to triangular meshed regions and another property is assigned to quad meshed regions; Details: materials were created using "ANSISbla-bla-plate type) NOTE: No problem with the GID (*.msh) file exported; I inspected the ASCII file and it's straight; properties are there where should be; Questions: 1. Is the behavior experienced before by anyone? 2. Could this be only a problem with the trial version, maybe? Observation: of course, inspecting the GID format, we also realized that it is simple to parse and it will be very easy to include the format in our set of supported formats but stil we ould like to offer also NASTRAN format.

[GiDlist] Re: Can't generate surface mesh or even volume mesh by surface geometry
Send by: Enrique Escolano In general, is more difficult to generate a mesh over a "surface mesh" than over a NURBS surface (because a NURBS is more smooth). If it's possible, it's recommended to avoid to work with "surface-meshes" as geometric entity. In your case, for example, it's trivial to delete all surfaces, and reconstruct it from the boundary: Geometry->Create->Nurbs surface->Automatic, and select with 3, 4 and 5 sides. Then create a volume selecting all boundary surfaces, and can generate a mesh without problems. I attach your file modified with this procedure.

In other hand, as you related, the Unstrucured size transitions parameter obviously has influence on the mesh. It's possible to mesh successfull using a parameter value, and have problems to mesh with other value.

Send by: Henry Liu Hello, I am a new user of GiD-7.2. I have some questions listed as below. 1. I have two components with different material property. I need to assembly them into one model. Will I use "Geometry -> create -> contact ->" to create a contact surface, then the seperated contact volume on their interface so that the interface will be moving in same manner when an external load is applied? Is ther way to check that two components are conatct togehter rather than touch only? (The attachment "parts_contact" is a very simple example of two parts and I want to know how to create conatct surface and volume) 2. What is the purpose of "Collapse model" and so on under Utilities? I know only that it is used to delete overlapping entities on the model. Is there any other purpose? Can I use "Collapse model" for any cases? 3. I have a same ascii input file with extension .msh. They look different when I import it into GiD as "GiD mesh" and as "surface mesh" (The attchment "slab.msh" is an example). What is the mechnism behind GiD when an mesh file is imported as a surface mesh?

[GiDlist] Unstructured mesh changes to triangles
Send by: Andrea Calaon Hi everyone, I noticed that assigning a null unstructured mesh size to a surface which was previously assigned a structured quadrilaterals mesh changes the element type to triangles. Is it a wanted behaviour? Kind regards Andrea [GiDlist] GiD7.5.0b for Windows
Send by: Enrique Escolano Dear GiD users. Since last Friday a new GiD beta version for Windows 7.5.0b was available This version 7.5.0b has a bug to run the calculation process. To fix this bug, It is necessary to change the file command.exe (located inside the GiD directory) by the new attached file "command.zip" (don't forget to unzip) Also it is possible to re-download and re-install GiD from our web page: ftp://gid.cimne.upc.es/pub/gid_adds/Windows/GiD7.5.0b-win.exe Regards _______________________________________________________ Enrique Escolano http://www.gidhome.com... [GiDlist] multiple batch scripts
Send by: Andres Peratta Hi there, In a given problem type (ptype), I would like to know how to launch different batch scripts from GID, (for example: ptype_0.unix.bat, ptype_1.unix.bat, or ptype_2.unix.bat) depending on the value of a control variable defined in the problem_data. Is that possible? Many thanks, Andres [GiDlist] multiple batch scripts
Send by: Enrique Escolano A possible dark trick: Can use a secondary bas file (<ptype>-1.bas) to write "on fly" a secondary bat file, depending on some problem_data parameter. The main ptype.unix.bat must rename the dat file (result of the secondary template), to set .unix.bat extension, and run it (on Unix platform must also use chmod in order to be run) for example the <ptype>.unix.bat content is similar to: rename %1-1.dat secondary.unix.bat chmod +x secondary.unix.bat secondary.bat %1 %2 %3 Enrique Escolano ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andres Peratta" <andres at wessex.ac.uk... [GiDlist] multiple batch scripts
Send by: Enrique Escolano Another more elegant method:
Can define in your <problemtype>.tcl file a procedure, named SelectGIDBatFile
SelectGIDBatFile is called automagically by GiD and must return the .bat file name or nothing
For example, if you have a general data field named Solver#CB(solver_1,solver_2), can use:
proc SelectGIDBatFile { directory basename } {
set batfile ""
if { [GidUtils::GetProblemDataValue "Solver#CB(solver_1,solver_2)"] == "solver_1" } {
set batfile ptype_1.unix.bat
} else {
set batfile ptype_2.unix.bat
}
return $batfile
}

[GiDlist] Uniform load distribution
Send by: Benedictus Benny Po Hello GiD fans, users and experts wherever you are, I want to share with you my problem that I have and hope to get any solutions and suggest from you. I'm devoloping interface between FEAP and GiD 7.2 at my institute for my Master Thesis. I would like GiD to generate uniform load to be distributed along the nodes I have after mesh generation. This load generation result in form of single nodal loads over every node along the line will be used in FEAP as input for LOAD macro editor: LOAD node1, X-coor ,Y-coord ,p_x, p_y node2, X-coor ,Y-coord, p_x, p_y node3, X-coor ,Y-coord, p_x, p_y ...etc....... My .cnd file : NUMBER:5 CONDITION:Face-Load CONDTYPE:over lines CONDMESHTYPE:over nodes QUESTION:L1.....(length of constant uniform load) VALUE:10 (m) QUESTION:n_x....(Number of face elements (which are under uniform load) to be generated) VALUE:4 QUESTION:q_x...(Uniform Load x direction) VALUE:0.0 QUESTION:q_y...(Uniform Load y direction) VALUE:-10 (kN/m) QUESTION:p_x..(Nodal load x direction) VALUE:0.0 QUESTION:p_y#FUNC#(Cond(4,real)*Cond(1,real)/Cond(2,int)*0.5).....(nodal load y direction) VALUE:Autocalculate STATE:hidden and my .bas file : *Set Cond Face-Load *nodes *Canrepeat *If(CondNumEntities(Int)>0) LOAD *loop nodes *onlyInCond *Nodesnum *NodesCoord(1,real) *NodesCoord(2,real) *cond(p_x,real) *cond(p_y,real) *End loop nodes *endif The result I have in my .dat file is like that: (for L1=10(m), n_x=4 and q_y = -10(kN/m)) LOAD Node X-coor Y-Coord p_x p_y 1, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, -12.5 2, 2.50, 0.0, 0.0, -12.5 3, 5.00, 0.0, 0.0, -12.5 4, 7.50, 0.0, 0.0, -12.5 5, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, -12.5 I did not see any possibility to tell GiD that at node 2, 3 and 4, since they get two times the half of the load from left element and right element, they should be each -25 , instead of -12.5. If I would use in my .cnd file CANREPEAT: yes after CONDMESHTYPE: nodes, I would get the same list of LOAD as above once more time , and it's still not correct. The correct result should be : LOAD Node X-coor Y-Coord p_x p_y 1, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, -12.5 2, 2.50, 0.0, 0.0, -25 3, 5.00, 0.0, 0.0, -25 4, 7.50, 0.0, 0.0, -25 5, 10.00, 0.0, 0.0, -12.5 I hope you understand what I meant and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Send by: qi qlfm I found it's very frustrating. Maybe because I didn't wrong operation. I have a hollow cylinder, I just want assign all outer surface of cyliner fixed. I use condition command from menu, there's an option, I select "assgin" I find I cann't select the outer surface of the hollow cyliner. Either I select the whole cylinder or I only select some of it. I cann't specify the outer surface. Could you give me some suggestions? I really appreciate it. regards, Mark _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Send by: Enrique Escolano Can you in general to select surfaces? (inside a selection in normal render, must click the pink lines) How is defined the condition to be applied: It's a condition "over surfaces"? Are your working with your own problemtype, or a standard one? You must assign the condition over the surfaces, and then generate the mesh. Do not apply directly over the mesh entities if it's possible. Enrique Escolano ----- Original Message ----- From: "qi qlfm" <qlfm at hotmail.com> To: <gidlist at gatxan.cimne.upc.es...

Send by: Mark qlfm Hi,Enrique: Thank for your kind help. Hope this time I don't bother you much *_^. I export my cylinder gid file to a ASCII file. I found a " .lin" file, which includes condition and load information. I check the mailing list, it seems you suggest we write a template file instead of ".lin". However, in my case, I prefer the ".lin". I think template file is a little complicated. In my case, I just want to know which elements are fixd, and which elements are applied a pressure. And I read "*.lin" file, I think it includes the information I am interested in. But some parts of it I cann't figure them out. below is the beginning of this .lin file " 1 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 3 4 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 3 -1 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 120 -1 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 ..... " what does the beginning number meaning? I think the " 1 1 1 1 1 1" represent the 6 freedom, that I fixed. but what meaning of the very beginning number? what the meaning of the number just before the " 1 1 1 1 1 1"? Are they the element number? and in the middle of this .lin file, there's a part as following " 4 0 0 5 0 0 6 3 1 258.0 0 40 1 1 258.0 12 4 1 258.0 78 3 1 258.0 43 1 1 258.0 11 4 1 258.0 77 3 1 258.0 38 1 1 258.0 26 1 1 258.0 2 4 1 258.0 41 1 1 258.0 " the number 258 is the prssure I applied on the one of the surfaces of the cyliner. but what the meaning of number before the pressure? I really appreciate your kind help. And Thanks a lot, Mark _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Send by: Ramon Ribó Mark, My advice is not to use the .lin file, as it is not documented and can change over time. Get one of the demo problemtypes or one of the Internet Retrieve modules, and you will see that it is fairly easy to modify it to suit to your needs.

[GiDlist] Gid7.4.3b with Win 2000: Problems with listing nodes or elements
Send by: Johannes Ackva Hi I have 2 problems when making "Utilities - List - nodes or elements": 1) it is very slow. When pressing escape it needs about 5 seconds with 600 nodes to have them marked on the screen and to appear the List Entities Window. Until I have the limited evaluation version but what will be with a 100000 nodes-model?! Is there a way to change this behaviour? 2) Making lists, sometimes GiD crashes when releasing the mouse button. How to avoid this? I did already deinstall und reinstall. Thank You in advance for Your suggestions Best regards, Johannes Ackva ______________________________________________________________________ Ingenieurbüro für Mechanik Dr.-Ing.

Send by: Enrique Escolano The list tool is not designed to list a big amount on entities (maybe can be enhanced for next versions). Usually it must be only used to check some entities. To list all mesh, it's best for example to export as a "Text data report" ascii file, and open it with some text editor. About the crash when select entities: What GiD version do you use? (If you use a version lower than 7.5.1b, download this last beta version). If the problem persists with this last beta version, and you can repeat this problem, please, send us a brief explanation about how to crash GiD, to solve it.

Send by: Miguel A. Pasenau de Riera You can do it in this way: define an elemental property, like 'existence', on the elements which remain on every step. So: do not define this results for the elements that are to be removed, and so, when you do a c.fill. of this results, the elements which do not have the result will not be drawn. i send you enclosed an example: excavacion.msh, excavacion.res and a movie file: excavacion.mpg Hope it helps, miguel _____ De: gidlist-admin at gatxan.cimne.upc.es [mailto:gidlist-admin at gatxan.cimne.upc.es...

Send by: Benedictus Benny Po Dear GiD's Team,
If I want to visualize with Contour Fill, beside defining the Contour Limit i.e max. value und min. value, is it also possible to define the number of division between the range ? For example, I have defined max = 1e9 and min = 5.5e7, GiD makes contour automatically with 10 Division between max. and min., no matter how many number of colours I have entered in Contour Colours and these 10 Divisions are always the same :
from 1). 1e+09,
2). 8.9e+08
3).7.9e+8
4).6.8e+8
5).5.8e+08
6).4.7e+08
7).3.7e+08
8).2.6e+08
9).1.6e+08
to 10).5.5e+07
Is it possible to make a division more than 10 let's say 15.????
Thanks in advance,
Benedictus Benny PO
