Hi all,
 
I´m working with Z88 and am looking for an interface to GiD. Does anybody  
know such an interface?

Hello Michael,
I don't know the existence of any GiD-Z88 interface.
I've seen in the Z88 webpage that it can import Nastran files. Maybe you can use our GiD-Nastran interface
to create input files for Z88. 
(can directly download the GiD-Nastran interface from the menu Data->Problemtypes->Internet retrieve...)

can you please send me the current version of the FEAP problem type?
(FEAP ver8.2)
On your web page i only could found an old version, which did not worked
with my gid version 8.1.5

We don't have an updated GiD-FEAP interface for FEAP 8.2, we only have the old interface with FEAP 7.4
This interface was basical, and I think that it can work with all GiD 8.x (but for FEAP 7.4, not for 8.2)

I don't know what are the changes between FEAP 7.4 and 8.2, but maybe yourself can modify 
the old interface to handle the new FEAP features.

Hi,

The attached binary file include the results for a small 10 steps solution 
corresponding to the bending of a plate. Therefore, GiD shows only 7 steps 
after loading the result file and some results are missing in the step 7 
context.

Someone is able to explain this situation.
Thanks

The problem is that the surfaces doesn't topologically close a volume, probably because some "duplicated" entities are not collapsed to a single one with the automatic tolerance (maybe the model gaps are bigger than this automatic tolerance)

The most interesting information of the message is
Problem with lines: 1 18 27 31 407 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 

Set to On the label of this lines, to see where the problem is.

View->Label->Select->Lines
and paste the list of lines on the command line
1 18 27 31 407 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 

Maybe some surface is missing, or do you need some geometric modification to close the volume (I can't say without see your model)

Note: In order to close a volume, the lines of its boundary surfaces must belong to exactly 2 boundary surfaces. 
Check graphically the number of parents or a the lines with:
View->Higherentities->Lines

                  [GiDlist] Transfer condition from geometry surface to elements surface

Send by: MGlocken at aol.com
On: Sun Jan 13 17:51:01 CET 2008



Hi all,
 
I have a problem with transferring a load condition from a geometry surface  
to the underlying elements surfaces.
 
First I created a four-sided prismn volume. Then I meshed it with  
tetrahedral elements. After that I drew the geometry and connected a pressure to  the 
surface on the upper side of the prismn.
 
When I make the problem.dat file with "calculate", there are no conditions  
in there.
 
Here are the corresponding lines from the .cnd file:
 
NUMBER: 7 CONDITION: Surface-Load
CONDTYPE: over  surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over body elements
QUESTION:  Surface-Presure
VALUE: 0.0
END CONDITION
 
 
And this are the corresponding lines out of .bas file:
 
*Set Cond Surface-Load *elems *CanRepeat
*loop elems  *OnlyInCond
*if(CondNumEntities(int)>0)
*ElemsNum *cond(1)  *GlobalNodes(2,int) *GlobalNodes(1,int) 
*GlobalNodes(3,int)
*endif
*end  elems
 
 
Now, what´s wrong?

Hello,

You must to create your own problemtype: a directory inside the /problemtypes directory with some text files to define your conditions and a template to say GiD how do want that it write your calculation input file.

Read  this problemtype tutorial: http://www.gidhome.com/support_team/su05.html
To know the valid syntax of the GiD customization files (*.cnd, etc) consult the GiD help about customization.

Actualmente GiD no guarda los colores de usuario con un nombre asociado, solo se guarda la última.
Pensaremos en esta opción para futuras versiones.

Por otra parte sería técnicamente posible hacer esto mediante una "macro" de usuario en lenguaje Tcl/Tk:
Nota: el comando process para establecer la escala de colores de usuario es así:
Results ContOptions ColorRamp DefineMap 3 #8080ff #0bf416 #00ff
donde 3 es el numero de colores de usuario, y #RRGGBB son las componentes del color RGB en hexadecimal

Subject: Fw: [GiDlist] Meshing two domains with commom interface

Hello,

Sorry by the delay but the GiD list had several problems.

Do you have two approaches:
1- A single surface shared by both volumes
2- Two different surfaces, and some restriction to create the 'same nodes' for this surfaces (two nodes but in the same location)

I recommend you the first approach because it can be difficult to handle a complicated shape with overlapped entities.
(in any case you can try to force the same mesh creating a GiD contact volume)

The problem for you is the definition of conditions.

Instead to use the same condition name for both surfaces, maybe you can declare two different conditions, something like this

CONDITION: Surface_C1
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements
CANREPEAT: No
QUESTION: Some_Field
VALUE: 0
...
END CONDITION

CONDITION: Surface_C2
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements
CANREPEAT: No
QUESTION: Some_Field
VALUE: 0
...
END CONDITION

Note the line
CANREPEAT: No
Because this declaration (is the default option), this condition can't be repeated twice on th same entity. If you try to assign again, the previous one is ovewritten.


Another option is to declare only one condition, but declare that can be repeated multiple times over the same entity, something like this

CONDITION: Surface_C
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements multiple
CANREPEAT: Yes
QUESTION: Some_Field
VALUE: 0
...
END CONDITION

On: Sat Jan 26 19:28:01 CET 2008



I have a question concerning pressure loads over Triangle elements. I have
programmed a simple FE program with linear beam, triangle (shell) and
tetrahedra elements.

I haven't yet managed to get any pressure conditions over Tringles, GiD only
returns 0 as a number of conditions (*CondNumEntities(int)). If I try these
pressure loads using tetrahedras and "CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements" it
works fine. What might be wrong in my problem definition files?

Based on a message "Transfer condition from geometry surface to elements
surface (2008)" I have created the following lines in conditions and
template files:

In .cnd file I have

----- clip clip --------
NUMBER: 2 CONDITION: Pressure
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over body elements
QUESTION: Pressure
VALUE: 0.0
END CONDITION
-----------------------

Corresponding lines in .bas file

*Set Cond Pressure *elems *CanRepeat
*CondNumEntities(int)

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Mon Jan 28 11:37:01 CET 2008



It seems that do you want the condition applied over the whole triangle element (because you are trying to write three
connectivities)
Then you must define the condition 'over body elements' (asa you did) and write the element connectivities
with *elemsconec instead *globalnodes.
Globalnodes is used to write the element  face (an edge for a triangle) with the condition over face elements

On the other hand, you said that CondNumEntities == 0 !!
Try to graphically draw and list the elements with this condition from the Conditions window (to know what's really assigned)
Are you sure that do you have triangles in your mesh ? By default, if you mesh a volume with tetraedra, its triangle surfaces are
not generated. You must explicitly say that do you want this triangles (Meshing->Mesh criteria->Mesh an select the surfaces)

Hello,

The answer is yes. In GiD, a volume is defined as a closed set of surfaces,
i.e. each line is shared between two surfaces; the surrounding surfaces of a
surface 'S' share the delimiting lines of this surface 'S'.

Hi Miguel
Thanks for the answer.
I have recently had a problem, I imported an iges file which was a set
of surfaces enclosing a single volume (as shown by GiD) I deleted the
volume and surfaced meshed the surface. My analysis program then used
this mesh file for a structural analysis which showed that some of the
edges were not stitched? (as they flew apart) Hence my question.

I have also noticed that the imported iges will not render properly,
some surfaces don't show, but they appear as surfaces when viewed in
normal mode & when meshed, renders OK? Could this be a related problem.
I have found that there is nothing I can do to repair the model in GiD
to solve the render problem but if I export as iges file & re import all
surfaces render OK, spooky!

Hello Mark,

You can check if the lines of your model belong to exactly two surfaces.
View->Higherentities->Lines
And you can use the collapse tool to close possible gaps.

About the render, probably the surface has some problem (bad orientation, etc) and a render mesh can't be created, but it sometimes
the can be meshed for analysis purposes.

Can you send us your IGES file, to try to detect and fix this problems?
Note: send it directly to escolano at cimne.upc.edu , not to the GiDList

As Miguel said, the surface edges of a volume topologically belong exactly to two surfaces of the volume,
but geometrically this two surfaces and the curve can have small gaps. This usually is not a problem if the elements are bigger than
this gaps (the mesh off course won't have gaps)

Hello again
I did the following modification to the .bas file (*ElemsConec instead of
*GlobalNodes)
----------------------
*Set Cond Pressure *elems *CanRepeat
*CondNumEntities(int)
*loop elems *OnlyInCond
*if(CondNumEntities(int)>0)
*ElemsNum *cond(1) *ElemsConec
*endif
*end elems
----------------------

However, the Pressure condition over my triangle elements are still not
going to the .dat file, instead just 0 is returned (CondNumEntities) as I
mentioned. I attached a Figure of a simple test model showing that the
Conditions are properly set to the model. So the problem is still existing.

To clarify my previous message, I tested this Pressure condition with a
volume mesh including tetrahedras and "CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements".
That was working correctly, the Pressure conditions over the faces of these
tetrahedras were written into the .dat file.

Check the name of the condition in the .cnd file, maybe the real name is 'surface_Pressure' instead 'Pressure' !! 

Maybe did you previously filtered the element type in the.bas file with  som e*set elems command ?

Try to use
*set elems(all)
before your commands to write this condition

Another detail, inside the *loop elems *OnlyInCond
is unnecessary to check  *if(CondNumEntities(int)>0) , and time consuming (this line must be interpreted for each loop iteration)

If it contiue without working, send me a zip (with single .zip extension) with your problemtype and this example

Yes, you can see the "Copy/Move" Window
There is a checkbox "Duplicate entities", if you select it then the new entitites are created without be joined with any other.

You can use this window as a user, and open the Undo window to see the internal commands:
GiD_Process MEscape Utilities Move Surfaces Duplicate Translation FNoJoin $xlast,$ylast,$zlast FNoJoin $xnn,$ynn,$znn $nac escape

Note: It's more recommended to use GiD_Process instead .central.s process

                  [GiDlist] Pixelated fonts, GiD GUI

Send by: William Hunter
On: Tue Jan 29 08:49:01 CET 2008



Hi all;

This is only a minor irritation, but perhaps someone can provide some help?

Does anyone know of a way to make the GiD GUI fonts look smoother under
Linux? I've attached a very small screenshot to show what I mean, it's
the "Sure, leaving postprocess" fonts that I'm writing about.

I searched for this and the best I could get was to use themed Tk widgets,
i.e., Tile, but as I understand, this is only possible for Tk 8.5. GiD uses
8.4.9, right? Does this mean I have to live with it for now?

I'm using the latest stable version of GiD and Kubuntu 7.10.

Cheers,
wh

   Hello,

   GiD inherits all the fonts capabilities from TK and TK inherits
them from X11.

   Tile is related to the look of the widgets but not to the fonts.

   The difference in TK8.5 related to fonts is that it now uses the
anti-aliased text under X11, a font engine from X11 that provides
higher qualities fonts.

   Next GiD version will use TK8.5 and will take advantage of them.

   In the meanwhile, GiD can use any font that you have installed
in X11. You can choose them in:

    Utilities->Preferences->Fonts

   You can use themed widgets in your own windows already with GiD 8.
It is only necessary that you include package tile and make a

package require tile

before beginning to use it.

Send by: Roberto Marivela Colmenarejo
On: Thu Jan 31 15:50:02 CET 2008



Hi all.

 

We are using Gid to see the results of our particles model on its
postprocess.

Our model creates a file where appears all properties of each particle in
each time step and we can generate a mesh for each interval time.

We would use the GiD application GID_BEGINMESHGROUP to join all meshes of
each time interval in a Group.

 

All functions we use are compiled except GID_BEGINMESHGROUP where we obtain
a mistake when we try to compile gidpost.lib with the Fortran Compaq 6.1
program.

We have try with two differents versions of this library, one from

Hi Gidders
I've been doing some analysis of the deflections of  a shelled container
subject to an external pressure. I can view the deformed structure in
GiD but now need to somehow make a measurement of the volume change. Is
there anyway I can export the deformed mesh as geometry so I can import
it into gid as geometry create a volume, then do
utilities:list:volumes(mass) ? Or is there an even easier way?

Hi Mark,

You can export from postprocess the deformated mesh (it's written in GiD mesh ASCII format)
and you can read this mesh with an external program to calculate the enclosed volume 
(this volume calculation from a boundary mesh is trivial )
Or you can do a macro to ask GiD about the mesh and deformation result and calculate the volume with a tcl procedure (but ask the mesh with Tcl can be slow for big meshes)

If do you need to do this calculation only once for this case, as trick, you can import the previous GiD mesh file in preprocess again, then export again as dxf with the DXFSap2000 template, and import again in GiD to convert each triangle in a surface. Then create a volume with this surfaces and ask his volume.

But, how can we use results of an analysis in the pre-process? Is there any
way to do remeshing easily? (for localized failure or ALE algorithms for

Hello José,

It's not easy to remesh over a previous mesh (e.g a mesh deformated while the analysis),

You can import the GiD ASCII mesh of  triangles as a "Surface mesh" and try to remesh it
or you can import each triangle as a surface (with the trick explained exporting as dxf) and try to remesh this geometry (can try to use rjump to avoid to have one or more new elements by triangle). 
Whit the second approach do you have several tools to edit the geometry to solve the problems (the surface-mesh can't be handled with the classical geometrical tools)

Hi GiD team
I need some advice on remeshing deformed geometry.
I have done an structural analysis using large displacement (triangular) shell elements, I now want to create simplified geometry from the deformed mesh data.
I can use Enrique's method to produce new geometry of the part with triangle surfaces. These triangles will on average have a lower quality measure than the original undeformed mesh. I can see no way of producing a simplified surface model from this highly faceted dxf import so that I can mesh again with elements of a similar size but of better shape quality. I can re-mesh with smaller elements but all the existing nodes are not moved so any poor shaped surfaces will remain? Does this imply that I must manually delete surface & rebuild them again?

Have you tried to use the 'rjump' mesher capabilities? (to create elements jumping between surfaces)
You can select this mesher in the meshing preferences, or you can manually set only some lines to be jumped or not jumped

Hi Enrique
I have tried your suggestion without success. I get the following error.
 
VoidPlex::set_at. Invalid void index 0
 
Gid then crashes!
 
I tried it on a simple rectangle where it worked fine. What I would really like is for GiD to somehow merge/join surfaces together creating larger areas of probably higher degree?

GiD 7.7.7b is a very old version for this rjump feature. 
You must use one of the last beta versions (8.1.x)
(can get a temporary password for the 8.x version)

Off course you can try to manually merge surfaces, but it can require a lot of work.
Last beta vesions include also a new command to merge surfaces with different algorithms (only from the boundary, or using more iformation from the interior)
This command is under test, and is only avaible at command line level (not from the menus)

Hi Mark,

You are right, when importing a GiD 'mesh' ASCII file as a 'surfmesh', only the first mesh is read.

- If the file is written from the postprocess, each set is written as a separated mesh
- If the file is written from the preprocess, all elements of the same type belong to the same mesh (and then there is no problem to import as surfmesh)

We corrected the surfmesh import, in order to handle this case (it will be fixed in the next 8.1.7b beta)

  From postprocessor I export the deformed mesh using      files:export:post information:ASCII files
  in preprocess I import this as GiD mesh, now export again as GiD mesh  ** . Now if I import this latest GiD mesh as surface mesh I end up with deformed surface geometry which is what I want ;-) and not a mesh at all !!!   If I omit the step of exporting the GiD mesh  ** above ,which seems unnecessary, the import of the surface mesh brings in an incomplete model it appears the parts that were originally on "S Elmer mesh 2" (in my case for my model ) in gid post, disappear?

Hi,

I'm new to GID and I hope my question is not too silly.

The task is to mesh a rectangular domain (all in 2D) with some holes in. 
The problem is that I also need a mesh inside these holes and both 
meshes need to be connected (same nodes on the outline of the hole) 
because the holes are a different material. What do I have to do to 
achieve that result?

Many thanks

Probably because do you have this duplicated points in the geometry (and then in the mesh generated from this  geometry).

Check your model: 
- Show points and node labels, to see if there are overlapped.
- Draw point higherentities, to see how many lines are sharing ean point

Hola Andrés,

Por un lado puedes probar a cargar el 'problemtype' ansys55/ansys55_3d o ansys55/ansys55_plane que 
incluimos a modo de ejemplo en  GiD (es muy simple, pero quizas ya sirva para tu propósito)
Además de la malla, puedes poner alguna condición de contorno (apoyos y fuerzas)
El fichero de cálculo se exporta con: Files->Export->Calculation file

No se si la versión que tienes de ANSYS puede importar otros formatos de malla (tipo NASTRAN o algo así)

En cuanto a la importación de geometría desde CATIA, yo creo que lo mejor es que uses el formato IGES.

No ha llegado adjunta la imagen que mencionas.
 
Escribe sinó como texto las opciones de importación que ofrece Ansys 11.
 
Por cierto, si puedes comunicarte más o menos en inglés, es preferible que uses ese idioma en la GiDList, para
que el resto de usuarios puedan entenderlo.

GiD can export the geomety in IGES format, and also in SAT (ACIS) format, but these formats are to exchange the geometric model, not the mesh.

Maybe you can modify a little our old Ansys55 problemtype to export a file that can be read by the current Ansys11 program.

If do you have some sample file with the /prep7 Ansys command that Ansys11 expects, you can modify our ansys55_3d.bas GiD template in order to obtain the same. (read GiD help on customization - template file, to know how is our .bas template syntax)

                  [GiDlist] Asociation between meshes and particles properties

Send by: Roberto Marivela Colmenarejo
On: Thu Feb 7 17:14:02 CET 2008



Buenas tardes a todos.

 

En primer lugar agradecer los buenos resultados que nos ha dado la
resolución del problema planteado la ocasión anterior y,

seguidamente planteo otra duda respecto al postprocesamiento de nuestro
modelo de partículas.

 

Hemos generado las mallas en cada instante de tiempo y las propiedades de
cada partícula en el intervalo correspondiente, pero

lo que no ocurre es que GiD únicamente lee la última malla y aplica las
propiedades de los elementos de las mallas de los instantes anteriores

a la única que lee, incluso llega a hacer la animación de las propiedades
pero sólo sobre la última malla.

En definitiva encontramos problemas en conseguir que GiD lea todas las
mallas de cada instante y asociarlas a las propiedades de

del instante respectivo.

 

A continuación planteamos el código en Fortran Compaq 6.1 para que sea de
utilidad en la resolución del problema.

GiD itself doesn't include any tool to partitionate the mesh (for parallel processing).

You can manually separate some geometric or mesh entities in different parts: sending them to a different layer, or assigning
different materials of some condition. Then you can write this information in your own way with your problemtype template.

A typical code to automatize the mesh partition is 'metis' (it's open source I think), your problemtype can automatically invoke the
metis executable (it receives a mesh file as input, and returns another file with his groups of elements), to send the groups of
elements to your layers or apply your material/condidion.

Dear collegues,

I try to generate a mesh for a simple volume symmetric with respect to
rotation of axis Z (or other), as for instance an ellipsoid. I tried
with the utility "Copy/Move and the Rotation " etc. but I definitelly
fail after numerous different trials. I should be very pleased to get
the solution.

Two recommendations:
- Avoid to create a single surface rotating 360 degrees, it's better to create 4 copies (set Multiple copies=4) of 90 degrees
- Avoid if possible to revolve points/lines on the revolution axe (the extruded entity will be degenerated)

If finally you are not able to generate the mesh, send us the example.

                  [GiDlist] Problem with Init_Cond in Dynamics

Dear Gidders,

I am trying to assess a structure with GID and the problem type RamSolid,  in
particular, a dynamic  (modal) analysis. When I try to calculate it, it
appears a message "(line number 891. error: For assign Initial_conditions to
any entities the question Initial_conditions: in Problem_Data must be set to
User_Defined)"; but I've already set the initial conditions to Disp Z,Y,X: 0
and Vel X,Y,Z: 0.

Where do you think there's the problem?  Where do I have, if necessary, to
set User_Defined, in the menu or in the .cnd file?

Regards and thanks in advance

                  [GiDlist] Adding geometry features to a model using  Substation Boolean operations

Send by: Javier Jimenez
On: Sun Mar 2 21:09:02 CET 2008



Hi GiD team,

 

Appreciate your assistance to complete the geometry generation of a model similar to the molde final, which was created with a 3D commercial CAD program.

 

The program fails when applying the "Substration Volume Boolean operation", using the auxiliary volumes denominated Fresado lateral y Fresado posterior, to create the two lateral extrusions and the back slot to the revolved model.

 

Geometry files of all parts and pics from steps used are included in the attached folder.  GiD version is 8.09R1  .  

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Saludos,

Win2000 gid 7.7.7b

Hi GiD team
I have imported a surface mesh of a deformation analysis. The mesh comes
in OK & displays as a surface model as I want, it allows me to mesh it
and I can save everything to a new gid project. I would like to export
this in iges format to exchange it to our CAD designers but GiD refuses
to export any of the surfaces in either iges or ASIC format I get the
following warning for every surface "Warning: surfmesh xx not written in
IGES file" . Doing a model collapse or model repair makes no difference?
Is there a work around?

Hi GiD team
I think my problem is due to the fact that my surfaces are MESHSURFACES
and not nurbs, GiD wont allow me to convert them to nurbs (not even
8.1.6b academic version), why does GiD display the model as discrete
surfaces yet it does not allow me to manipulate them even though there
is under geometry an option to edit surfacemesh?

Hi Mark,

You are right, the MESHSURFACES are not NURBS, they are defined by a underlying triangle mesh. Can't be converted to
a NURBS form and then couldn't be exported as an standard CAD entity.
Most GiD geometrical tools, like intersection, etc. won't work with this kind of entity, it's mainly used to be remeshed.

You can only export the mesh (e.g. can export the triangles by the DXFSAP2000 template in order to obtain a planar surface for each
triangle)

Hi Enrique
Thanks for the answer, though it doesn't help a lot ;-(
I have thought of exporting all the nodal coordinates of the deformed
model as a "point cloud"  to see if I can generate a surface model as
one would do with reversed engineering of a scanned object, is this
something which GiD might consider developing? As I will need to use an
external software package to do this which I don't have at this moment.
Any thoughts or suggestions gratefully received.

Hi Mark,

I'm sorry, but GiD doesn't has this kind of tool. 
We are working on this kind of topics, but it's difficult this conversion from mesh to NURBS.
I tried (a little only) some commertial 'reverse engineering' packages, and they didn't worked without a lot of user aid.
If do you find a good package, let me know please.

Could you send me your example? (to have a look of the complexity of your case)

You can try to import the coordinates as points (e.g with a batch file including a first line like "mescape geometry create point" and then the coordinates),
 and then use this points to manually create curves and this curves to create surfaces.

Also you can try other options:
- If the points can be projected in a direction, can try to use this points to create an approximated surface with: 
Geometry->Create->NURBS surface->By points
- or you can connect the nodes with a Delaunay-like triangulation of elements/surfaces: 
Writting this in the lower command line:
Mescape Meshing ConnectPoints CreateSurfaces 
and select the source points

Hola Ignacio.

Es debido un error interno, al manipular a la vez nodos en 2D y 3D.
Esto pasa solamente si mallas con 'Rfast' y fuerzas nodos de la malla
Para evitar el error de momento usa el mallador 'Rsurf' (que genera una malla en un espacio 3D),

La próxima versión ya tendrá esta corrección incluida

Tienes razón Igancio, 
Con Rsurf no se están forzando los nodos que deseas.
Tendrás que esperar a que saquemos la versión corregida, o bien no usar esa opción de forzar puntos de la malla, y obtener lo que quieres subdividiendo las superficies con una línea que pase por los puntos deseados (la unión de los pilares con el forjado)

  Un saludo

You are right, 

There is a bug when assigning this kind of meshing information (only in case that a point to be forced has number=1).

Now it's corrected for the next beta

Hello,

We’re aware of the problem with xdpyinfo and fedora 7, the next installation
process will take into account this issue.

But related to the problem with the dynamic library, it’s the first time I
heard of it. I’ll look into it with a new installation of fedora 8.

 

In the meantime you can try the ‘gid’ script I send you attached to this
mail. I suppose that you gid installation directory is /home/estacion/GID.
If not, just change the second line of the script accordingly. If it still
give you the message with the xdpyinfo problem, please tell me and try the
second  script ‘gid2’.

 

Best regards,

Hello, I want to know if it is possible to GID to do the following 
actions: I want to make a structured mesh in my 3 volumes. It seems to 
be possible in so far as I have 3 6-sides volumes. But, it works only 
for the volumes 2 and 3 and not for the 1. I think it links to the fact 
the lines of this volumes are in reality shared in 2 part, and it is an 
issu. But, is there a function in order to avoid this matter. Thank you 
for your help, regards.

Hello,

The problem is that volume number 1 (in the picture you have sent) is not a
6-sided volume. It has 7 surfaces. To reach a structured mesh you have to
split this volume in a similar way as volumes 2 and 3 are.

                  [GiDlist] GiD splash screen in batch mode

Send by: Martin.Meiler
On: Fri Mar 28 17:01:02 CET 2008



Hi GiD team,


is there any reason why the GiD splash screen appears when using the 
command line option -n2 ?

Since i am using a Tcl command in the batch file, i have to use this 
option instead of -n.

The splash screen obtains the focus and the previously focused command 
prompt does not obtain the focus after the splash screen disappears.


Thanks for your answer.


Best regards and have a nice weekend

In theory this splash must not appear in this case, we will check it...

Dear Gidders,

I am trying to assess a structure with GID and the problem type RamSolid,  in
particular, a dynamic  (modal) analysis. When I try to calculate it, it
appears a message "can't find word ***write_displacements*** in input file",
I've already asked for this info on the Data-Advanced-Dynamic Output and it
doesn't work out, so I'm lost.

Where do you think there's the problem?

Hi GiD team,

currently i am wondering why the following command sequence does not 
work for me:

   Mescape Geometry Delete AllTypes InvertSelection escape

should delete all existing geometric entity types. This is strange, 
since the following commands are working to clear all entities:

2D: Mescape Geometry Delete Surface LowerEntities InvertSelection escape
3D: Mescape Geometry Delete Volume LowerEntities InvertSelection escape



Thanks for your answer.

Hello Martin,

This is a bug related that when selecting all types, the entities 
identifiers are not uniques.
Now it's fixed for the next version.

Until have this version, you can use other alternative commands, e.g.
Mescape Geometry Delete Volume 1:end escape
Mescape Geometry Delete Surface 1:end escape
Mescape Geometry Delete Line 1:end escape
Mescape Geometry Delete Point 1:end escape

Hello Ana,

I downloaded the problemtypes that you related, and the calculation solver openSees.exe is depending of the tcl82.dll 

You must install the Tcl scripting interpreter. Can download a binary version from ActiveState
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/Windows/

The oldest version nowadays seems to be the 8.3.3 !!
You can try to download and install this version, and as trick, copy the tcl83??.dll into the openseesQuad.gid directory, and rename it to tcl82.dll
Then probably you will be able to run openSees.exe with the tcl file as input. You can try to start it outside GiD, from a DOS console
openSees.exe "yourfile.tcl"
If it works a .post file must be created

Note: don't try to use the 8.5.x Tcl version, because it is too modern for the openSees.exe compilation, you can also try to find a more recent openSee.

Note2: You can get a trial temporary password to use GiD one month vithout size limitations

Hi GiD-Team,


i wanted to test the new GiD 8.2.0 beta, but when i tried i could not 
test anything, since the new version does not start somehow.

Me and a colleague of mine tested the version but at both systems the 
GUI did not come up and the GiD start procedure stopped at the splash 
screen.

Are we the only ones facing this problem?
What can we do? The last 8.1.8b did not have this problem.

Hi,
¿the same problem appears when you execute 'gidx'?

On a opensuse 10.2 distribution I've found that the zlib library does not
have the command 'gzopen64'. This function is used to open large files, so I
guess your distribution does not have support for large files (>4GB files). 

from http://www.linux-archive.org/debian-user/25370-upgrading-sid-2.html:
| Note that this has nothing to do with 64-bit libraries. The "64" in
| gzopen64 means, essentially, that the function can handle large files
| (whose sizes cannot be represented in 32 bits, so 64 bits are used).

Dear GiD Team,
I want also to transfer my fortran code from compaq Visual fortran 6.6 
 to Intel IA-32 compiler v.10 (running on Visual Studio 2005) and I have 
the same problem described in previous mails found in the Gidlist 
archives. Is this problem solved or is it a trivial mistake from my 
Visual Studio project definition?
-I m using gidpost 1.7.
-The linker says that the defined function in the given gidpost.lib are 
not founded (even if the library is included in the project).
-I m not able to build gidpost.lib as environment is not defined in 
cfortran.h.

Thanks for your help.
Best regards.

____________________________________________

Dear people of GiD,

 

I think I am experiencing the same problem. I am trying to use the library
_gidpost.lib_ within my fortran project, compiling it with the Intel IA-32
compiler (v.9.1 running on VS2005).

 

I am using the version 1.70 of gidpost. When I build the library the
compiler produces lots of warnings (deprecation), but still works.

 

The problem comes when I build my project and include the library. Seems
like the linker cannot find the functions inside the library, although it 
is
definitely included in the project.

 
---------------------------------------

 

Hello Adisorn, we have not tested that situation.
 
We need you to answer a few question in order to diagnose the problem:
 
- what is the version of gidpost?
 
- what does the compiler say when it try to use gidpost.lib?
 
- did you build gidpost.lib?
 
regards,

Dear GiD people,
           I have come accross a problem that somehow seems simple, and 
yet I cannot get rid of (or cannot find how). I have created a problem 
type.  This problem type contains 20 conditions.  In the .bas file , all 
I do is list the nodes (and coordinates),  then the connectivities, and 
finally the 20 sets of face Global nodes (1 per each condition).  My 
problem comes from the fact that all the last 20 sets are written 
correctly in the output of the template, however Face 1 (the comment) is 
followed by two empty lines ... and Face 2 is followed by one empty 
line. Here is an example:
Connectivity
...
...
      4     176    161    196    235
      4     160    176    197    234
      4     160    203    176    234
Face Element nodes for 1


    371    388    386
     79     80     90
     89     79     90
     89     90     99
    386    370    371
    371    370    340
...
...
    489    481    488
    489    488    499
Face Element nodes for 2

    385    387    372
      2      1      3
      5      2      3
      5      3     10

This is very strange behaviour, as those empty lines are unexpected, and 
seem to decrease as I decrease the number of existing conditions (this 
problem seems to disappear if I have only 5 conditions).  No matter what 
I do to the .bas file, I cannot get rid of these two lines of output.
I have attached a simple version of this problem type, a project, and 
"hello.dat" is the output.
Notice that the rest of the "Face Element nodes" in "hello.dat" are 
written fine.. without any spaces at the beginning.  I thought it could 
be something to do with *Canrepeat.. but it is set to YES in the 
conditions file.  I double checked the number of entities for each 
condition set, and they match the output of the respective loops.  So it 
looks like the spaces are spurious.
I hope any of you who may have come accross with this problem or know 
the proper way around it might be able to help me.
Best regards,

Dear GiD people,
           I have come accross a problem that somehow seems simple, and 
yet I cannot get rid of (or cannot find how). I have created a problem 
type.  This problem type contains 20 conditions.  In the .bas file , all 
I do is list the nodes (and coordinates),  then the connectivities, and 
finally the 20 sets of face Global nodes (1 per each condition).  My 
problem comes from the fact that all the last 20 sets are written 
correctly in the output of the template, however Face 1 (the comment) is 
followed by two empty lines ... and Face 2 is followed by one empty 
line. Here is an example:
Connectivity
...
...
      4     176    161    196    235
      4     160    176    197    234
      4     160    203    176    234
Face Element nodes for 1


    371    388    386
     79     80     90
     89     79     90
     89     90     99
    386    370    371
    371    370    340
...
...
    489    481    488
    489    488    499
Face Element nodes for 2

    385    387    372
      2      1      3
      5      2      3
      5      3     10

This is very strange behaviour, as those empty lines are unexpected, and 
seem to decrease as I decrease the number of existing conditions (this 
problem seems to disappear if I have only 5 conditions).  No matter what 
I do to the .bas file, I cannot get rid of these two lines of output.
I have attached a simple version of this problem type, a project, and 
"hello.dat" is the output.
Notice that the rest of the "Face Element nodes" in "hello.dat" are 
written fine.. without any spaces at the beginning.  I thought it could 
be something to do with *Canrepeat.. but it is set to YES in the 
conditions file.  I double checked the number of entities for each 
condition set, and they match the output of the respective loops.  So it 
looks like the spaces are spurious.
I hope any of you who may have come accross with this problem or know 
the proper way around it might be able to help me.
Best regards,

Hello Julian,

This is a bug, we are going to fix it.
The problem only appear if your problemtype defines a condition name that match the "left part" of other condition name.

e.g. in your case, "1" match the start of "10", and both conditios can be confused (because GiD accept commands in an abreviated way)

It is highly recommended to avoid to use two condition names with this kind of matching !!
The same limitation can be applied to material names and also to field names inside a condition/material.

To avoid the problem, instead "1" to "9" you can use for example "01" to "09"

 Hi,

I would like to have detailed information about the gid mesh format and geo
format. I'm studying shape optimization and I'm using GiD to draw the
geometry
and mesh generate. The solution is done in a FEM software that I wrote. For
that reason, I would like to obtain those informations to can read the mesh
file in my program, solve the optimization problem, regenerate the geometry
and remesh, and, if necessary, solve the optimization problem again till the

convergence criteria will be achieved.

What means the lines 2 and 8  from the following piece of msh file in
project
ASCII exported?

The GiD preprocess project mesh ASCII format is very simple

I attach two documents (Spanish) explaining the .geo and .msh formats

Note: 
This .msh format is different from the ASCII mesh format used to import/export GiD meshes and to be read in postprocess.
This is the ASCII version of the binary mesh file saved with the model in preprocess

Hello Lucrecia,

Your question is not related to GiD, it's related to some problemtype (Rambshell probably? and which version?)
The message "error reading stregths max PG-3" was not raised by GiD, then we can't explain its meaning.

Hello Sylvain,

GiD itself doesn't has units, they can be defined if necessary at 
problemtype level
- Some simple problemtypes doesn't use units: the user is responsible to 
enter all magnitudes in a coherent way. e.g lengths in m, forces iin N, 
pressures in N/m^2, etc and the results will be in the same units, e.g 
displacements in m, stresses in N/m^2
- Other problemtypes manage units by themselves, some fielsd are labels to 
declare the used unit, and the solver read this strings and do all needed 
conversions
- Finally other problemtypes are using the 'GiD units' special field #UNITS# 
and an 'problemtype'.uni file to define transformation factors.

In problemtypes that use units, you probably must declare the model units, 
from the menu: Data->Data Units... (this menu won't exist if the problemtype 
is not loaded or not use units)

You can also scale the model to fit with the units that you want.

regards

How's the contact for you case: it's necessary a one-to-one relationship between your master and slave nodes? 
Then you can create a "contact surface" to link the master and slave lines and force this one-to-one nodes (and create auxliary elements linking them)

If your contact doesn't require to be node-to-node then it's probably better to define and apply some condition to mark entities as master/slave 

Instead to export an ASCII proyect and try to read it with your program, it's better that you create your own problemtype that directly write what you want.

Hello GiD team,

I have two questions about postprocessing for models having both
Prisma and Hexahedra.

Let me know how I can display vectors for both element types
simultaneously; not separately.
In post processing menus, both SomeVectors and SomeVectors#Prism
exist and can display vectors separately. Its not my wish.

Second question:
For such mixed models, GiD automatilcally display boundaries of Prisma
and Hexahedra. This boundaries are ugly. Let me know how to remove
boundaries in post process drawing.

Hello Hemmi,

Nowadays both results defined in different gauss points could not visualized 
simultaneously in a direct way,
but you can use a trick and draw as two different results simultaneously,
from the menu: Window->Several results, set the 'one over another' radio 
button

For future versions we will improve it, to avoid to have to use this trick

I think that now it's not possible to avoid to display the interface between 
prisms and hexahedra as a boundary.
Try all available style options in Window->View style

As another trick, you can split prisms an hexas into tetrahedra for 
posprocess pourposes, and also write gauss results as nodal results.

Read GiD help about  POSTPROCESS DATA FILES->Postprocess results format

As you can see, each result begin with a header with this prototype:

Result "result name" "analysis name" step_value my_result_type my_location "location name" 

where step_value is a numeric real value representing the 'time step'. 

Note: your can write the GiD postprocess ASCII format by yourself , but if you want to use the binary compressed format it's more recommended 
to use our GiDPost library http://www.gidhome.com/support_team/gidpost.html to aid you to write our postprocess files from C/C++ or FORTRAN programs.

                              [GiDlist] I need "incorrect" contour plot of gauss results on a cut plane

Send by: HEMMI, Shigeru
On: Wed May 14 06:22:02 CEST 2008



Hello,

First of all, thanks for the answer of my question titled
"Simultaneous displaying vectors if both Prisma and Hexahedra
elements exist." very recently.

I have another request.

Quote from GiD manual:
"When using results defined over gauss points, they are extrapolated
to the nodes. So discontinuities can appear between adjacent elements."

I agree that discontinuities between adjacent elements of gauss
results are mathematically correct and basically praise this
feature without hesitation.
However, as you know, many customes often want to draw
continuous contour lines even for gauss results (it is often 1
center result).  Although extrapolating gauss results to nodal
ones are always not correct from mathematical viewpoint,
many competetive post processors can do it with sacrificing correctness.

Please consider a case which made only from tetra elements and having
vector results at element centers, I was not able to draw any
contour plot(I often want to plot contour lines on cut plane).

I eagerly ask CIMNE to add a feature so that one can  draw "incorrect"
contour lines especially on cut plane from only gauss resuls.

Regards,

...

It exists an special menu "View resulst->Smooth contour fill" to do a 
contour fill with gauss results averaged on nodes to have a continuous 
field.
In any case I recommend you to write your results as nodally averaged 
instead of on gauss points, some features are not implemented for gauss 
results.

I didn't understand your last sentence:
"I eagerly ask CIMNE to add a feature so that one can  draw "incorrect" 
contour lines especially on cut plane from only gauss resuls."
What do you want to do?

Dear Enrique Escolano,

Thanks for the answer.

If I move to  "Do cuts->cut plane" menu after "View resulst->Smooth
contour fill" , then GiD message box says "At the moment, gaussian
results can not be drawn on cuts.".
This is not welcome for me.
My hope is to draw "gauss results averaged on nodes ", especially on
cut plane.

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Mon May 19 17:05:02 CEST 2008



As I said some features that exists for 'nodal results' are not implemented 
yet for 'gauss results'.
We are implementing them but there are a lot of kind of elements: point, 
sphere, circle, line, triangle, quadrilateral, tetrahedra, hexahedra, prism, 
pyramid with linear and quadratic cases, and with different gauss points 
definitions.
Download our last beta versions, features like cuts with gauss results are 
already implemented for most of this elements.

Note. smoothed gauss result is only implemented for 'contour fill', and take 
also into account that it requires more memory resources to allocate the 
gaussian and the nodal averaged results.

Regards

Enrique

                              [GiDlist] Conditions for solid mesh elements

Send by: Edwin Nyirenda
On: Wed May 14 16:32:01 CEST 2008



Dear GID people

When creating a mesh from a solid, the surface conditions can be transfered from the boundary surfaces to the surfaces of the solid elements using <CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements>.  When looping through the solid meshes generated I can identify the surfaces by the node conectivities, but how can I identify which of these surfaces have inherited the conditions from <CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements>?  I am using tetraheral elements.

Please help

You can do a loop only over the elements where some condition is applied,
and print the face (its nodes) with this condition using the *globalnodes 
command
e.g.

*set cond your_condname *elems
*loop elems *OnlyInCond
  *elemsnum *globalnodes *cond(your_cond_field)
*end elems

Thank you for this reply.  Just to make sure, is a loop within a loop legal? e.g.

 *set cond your_condname *elems
 *loop elems
 *loop elems *OnlyInCond
   *elemsnum *globalnodes *cond(your_cond_field)
 *end elems
 *end elems

The need for this arises because I want to get some information from all elements, and at the same time get some information only from those elements with the set condition.

Yes, you can have loops nested, but it will become hard (quadratic) if the 
number of elements is very hight
You can do some like this:

*set cond your_condname *elems
*loop elems
*set var id=elemsnum
*set var found=0
*loop elems *onlyincond
*if(id==elemsnum)
*elemsnum *cond(your_cond_field)
*set var found=1
*break
*endif
*end elems
*if(found==0)
*elemsnum
*endif
*end elems

                  [GiDlist] Access to GiD entity database

Send by: Martin.Meiler
On: Wed May 14 18:32:01 CEST 2008



Hi GiD-Team,


are there any Tcl methods that allow to access the GiD entity database 
using a selection bounding box or selecting entities using their center 
of gravity?

i.e.
  GiD_GetEntities EntityType bbox coord1 coord2
    returns all entities of type EntityType
    within bounding box x1,y1,z1 and x2,y2,z2

  GiD_GetEntities EntityType cgrav coord1 coord2
    returns all entities of type EntityType
    whose center of gravity is within
    bounding box x1,y1,z1 and x2,y2,z2

Maybe even a selection using local coordinate systems would be possible.


Thanks for your answer.


Best regards

Martin

  When I use the menu CALCULATE to call my analysis code I get run my solver but I can't visualize the solver running in the window.
   
  I want to show the process running in DOS window (like ANSYS analysis running, for example), because my analysis has a lot of iterations.
   
  Is there some possibility to make this? Can I use the menu "View process info"? How can I do this?

                              [GiDlist] DOS window

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Wed May 14 21:44:01 CEST 2008



We are hidding this "ugly" DOS console, then it looks more like a single package instead two separated programs.

To see your process information you can use, as you said, the View process info window.

You must "say" GiD the file name with your "process information" with an special comment in the .windows.bat file:
e.g imagine that your solver is writtin this information in a file with the same name as the current model and with extension .log, then you must put this in your bat file

rem OutputFile: %2\%1.log

and if your solver detect some error, can write if for example in a file .err and let you know to GiD with this comment:

rem ErrorFile: %2\%1.err

then if this file exists and it's not void, GiD will show the contents in an error message.


Note. It's more recommended that your program write the process information in a file (like the .log file) , 
but if you are only writting to the standard output (console) and you don't want to change your program, can redirect this output 
to a file with ">" (send to a new file) or ">>" (append if the file exists)
inside your code it's also recommended to invoke a flush command after write something to the log file, to force the internal buffers to write its contents to the file

Your .windows.bat file can look like this:

rem OutputFile: %2\%1.log
rem ErrorFile: %2\%1.err
%3yoursolver.exe %2\%1.dat > %2\%1.log

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Mon May 19 14:57:01 CEST 2008



To export a file following a .bas template, you must use this GiD process command:

Mescape Files WriteForBas "C:/.../your_template.bas"  "C:/.../your_output.dat"

All GiD process wods are valid batch commands. Some advices to know this commands:

1- Do the action as user from thu GUI, and show the Undo window to know the internal GiD commands:
 in this case go to menu Files->Export->using template->your_template.bas 
and then go to menu Utilities->Undo to show the undo window.

2- Visualize the right buttons bar: Utilities->Tools->Toolbars...
this buttons show the internal GiD commands.

Note: Mescape is like a 'multiple escape': all escapes as needed to reach the top level of the command's tree.

Hello,

Perhaps you are not able to execute the installation program of GiD nor the
kernel-2.6 packed (.tar.gz) version on the latest ubuntu distribution.

Have you checked if the distribution you are using is a 64-bit one?
uname -a:
..... x86_64 ...

If you have used the Wubi installation program, by default it installs the
64-bit distribution on a machine which is able to run 64-bit applications,
which are all the machines by now.

It seems that the default 64-bit installation of ubuntu (and kubuntu,
xubuntu) does not include the 32-bit support to execute 32-bit applications.

The installation programs of GiD are 32-bit applications, including the
64-bit version.

Dear,
Regarding to GID post processor: I would like to know that, is it possible
to add some customized color-maps to GID?

PS: I know that there are four 4 types of color map in GID and there is also
a user defined map option in user defined tab in "color contour" window, but
customized option just work for (underlying) Terrian color map, i.e. we
could change colors intensity within this map not a general map. Also it is
desired to save some color maps and load them in future.

Any guide?

Hi Gerhard

This was a mistake of some beta version,
yourself can fix it by findind ".GiD_Process" inside the /scripts/*.tcl

and change  ".GiD_Process" by GiD_Process (without the dot)

Or as Miguel suggested, update to the last available version.

Hello,

Some questions:

Which version are you using? Have you tried the latest 8.2.0b?

 

There could be two possibilities: one it’s related with the data you are
trying to display, if this is the case, can you post the example?

 

The second possibility is that it can be related to the graphics card, in
this case, can you send me following information?

 

¿Have you tried ‘GiD Safe Mode’ which can be selected from
Start-->programs-->GiD 8.xxx--> GiD Safe mode (and the select the option
Activate Software OpenGL)?



 

Which graphics card are you using?

Which version of Vista are you using: MS Vista 32 o 64 bits?

At last you can try with:

Control Panel --> Screen properties --> Screen configuration ( or
resolution) --> Advanced configuration (button) --> Trouble-shooter (Panel)
--> Change configuration --> Hardware configuration (slidebar), lower it
until the problem disappears.

meshing on a line, or surface or volume, but it didn't work : gid can't 
create the mesh for one of the volume. OK, I know that I could mesh the 
two volumes with the same size of the order of the centimeter, but it is

Hello Sylvain,

It's difficult to say any advice without see your model,

Try to assign "compatible" sizes to the geometrical entities.
Note: line and surface unstructured sizes are more important than volume 
sizes, because we are using an advancing front method, and the boundary size 
has a lot of influence on the interior size of the mesh.

If you are unable to generate the mesh you want, send us the model to test 
it.

Hello Hemmi,

How is the new connectivity you want to reach?

Probably you don't need to change the GiD element connectivity, only must 
write it in a different way for the solver

                  [GiDlist] Information about geometry and mesh using template file

Send by: Rodrigo Augusto
On: Fri May 30 22:22:02 CEST 2008



Dear users,

Is it possible in bas template get information about geometry like number of
lines, surfaces and volumes and cross those information to the mesh data?
For example, I would like to write in a template file a information about
how many nodes are in a given line or a given surface.

Sincerely

There is not mantained any relationship between the mesh and the source geometric entities. A trick is to add an auxiliary condition with 
a field like this:
QUESTION: Line_number#FUNC#(NumEntity)
VALUE: 0
when generating the mesh this #FUNC# field is automatically set to the geometric entity identifier.


The bas file doesn't have any geomery command, but it's possible to invoke *tcl commands, that can access to this information with GiD_Info Tcl commands.

Dear Sir,

I am working with a code which stores equations of planes (discontinuities
in rocks) in a text file and I have to draw the planes in GID using these
equations. I don't want to draw them manually but automate the process using
batch file,i.e., using the text file and batch commands. I don't know how to
set GID commands in a batch file. Please help me proceed with this.

You can do this with a Tcl procedure. 
It's possible to use the special drawopengl GiD- Tcl command, to invoke opengl commands to draw what you want.

You can add invoke your tcl procedure from the macro toolbar, or when loading your problemtype can add an additional menu to draw your discontinuities.

Recenlty in the last GiD Conference, some people asked for this same feature. Maybe we can add to GiD some standard way to do it.

Could you send us an example of a model and the additional text file describing the discontinuities?

Hello

I am using GiD 8.0.7 under Linux Suse 10.3. I am experiencing some graphical problems in pre- and post-processing mode. Firstly, the commands 'label nodes, elements, or results'  do not show anything but white boxes, where numbers should be. Zooming in makes it visible. Secondly, in pre-processing the command 'draw conditions' (boundary, loading ...) shows the affected parts of the geometry in colours, however it does not provide any legends which would give information what colours stand for. Please advice.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hello,

As I see from the information you sent me, there can be two possibilities:

1. You can try with 'gidx' which launches gid with software rendering.

2. Try uncompressing the attached libz64.tgz and copy it to the lib
directory of the gid installation, for instance to /usr/local/gid8.2.0b/lib
(remember to enable the execute permission of the dynamic library: chmod 755
libz.so.1)

If the second option works, then you can also launch gid with the 'gid'
scripts.

Please, tell me how it's going,
Best regards,

Miguel Pasenau

Hi Miguel

thanks for advice. However, the result was in all cases

1) without libz.so.1 executing gid
2) without libz.so.1 executing gidx
3) with libz.so.1 executing gid
4) with libz.so.1 executing gidx

negative and the same. The GiD window becomes visible with no menus
whatsorever and the logo in front of. Then it just freezes, it can't be
even closed anymore. See attached screenshot. I might have to replace
the beta release of Suse Linux 10.3 with the official stable one on my
computer. It is just such a big hassle and it is not even sure that this
fixes the problem. Do you know, if GiD works with the official release
of Suse Linux 10.3 in principle?

Hiii,

I have to draw geometries in GID using batch file. I am facing difficulties

entity (surafce, volume etc) or all entities. Please tell me how to get the
commands for batch files. Is there any direct command to draw a volume when
its coordinates are known?

Hello,

To select an entity simply must specify the id number. You can also say a range  a:b that mean from a to b
you can omit b or use 'end' as the last available entity number, then 1:end select all entities of a type

An interesting way to select entities when automatizing from scripts is to separate in layers and specify the layername where the entities are, e.g
layer:Layer1

It's possible also apply filters to the selection, to keep entities that satisfy some conditional

When selecting points, an unusual way is to specify a plane equation
plane:a,b,c,d,r

Read GiD help about User basics->Entity selection

Sorry, but It doesn't exist any command to select entities near a coordinate.

Hi Enrique,

If the geometrical figures that I have to draw are stored in a text file in
form of coordinates or equations, is there any way to read these input files
and then use it for creating figures- even using some other tool/language
that GID is compatible with?

How can I get id no. of a surface if I am writing a batch file? As the
geometries vary, the id nos of surfaces to be selected will differ. For
general case, I have been thinking if it is possible to select any entity by
specifying conditions. For example, is it possible to chop off part of the
plane lying outside a known volume. Can I give some conditional command in
this case? The major problem is if it can be done using batch file.

Well, I am going through all the methods you told me in your last email but
I doubt what I want to do can simply be done using GID only. I think I would
have to use some other tool as well and I can do meshing using GID. If it is
not possible to do with GID, please suggest me some other tool which I can
use along with GID.

Thanking you.

Anticipating you response

Hi Enrique,

I think I would go for Tcl. But while working, I got this problem:
I have a cuboid of some know dimension(in layer0). There is a circular
surface(in layer1) surrounding that cuboid (see attachment). I want to
divide the cuboid into two seperate volumes by this circle. Is it possible.
I tried using intersection commands. It's not working.

There not exists a direct tool to intersect a volume against a surface. You must do this steps:

1- Intersect the cube and the circle surfaces: Geometry->Edit->Intersection->Multiple surfaces (and can select all)
2- The four cube surfaces are not splitted in two parts, you must do it with: Geometry->Edit->Divide->Surface->Split
    select the surface and the splitting line. repeat it for the four surfaces.
3- Split the volume: select the volume and the surface that can split it (the square surface that divide it in two parts)

If your GiD version doesn't has this split volume command, update to the last 8.2b beta version, 
or to the new 9.0-rc release candidate version (but this 9.x version will require a new password, different of the 8.x)

Off course you can do the split volume manually: delete the old volume and create the new ones selecting its contour surfaces

Dears

I have a problem in use a interface between bas file and a tcl file.
Actually, I don't know how I must proceed to create a tcl file and how it is
accessed for the gid. For example I want to write a information about how
many nodes belongs on a line. To this I wiite a bas template and a called to
a tcl file, as is shown
%%BAS FILE%%%
**LINE_NODES
*set cond Line-Var *nodes *CanRepeat
*set var num=0
*tcl(GetNumLineModel *num)
*for(i=1; i<=num; i=i+1)
*tcl(WriteLineInformarion *i)
*end for
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%TCL FILE%%%

proc GetNumLineModel {num} {
    return[GiD_Info Geometry NumLines $num]

}

proc WriteLineInformarion {i} {
    return [GiD_Info conditions Line-Var geometry $i]
}

This is a test only, I want to understand the conection beween the tcl file
and the bas file.

I will comment your code:

*set cond Line-Var *nodes *CanRepeat   
This line creates an internal table to provide after access to the information with a *loop nodes onlyincondition at bas level
In your case this information is not used after!!
*set var num=0
create a variable at bas level
*tcl(GetNumLineModel *num)
invoke the GetNumLineModel procedure with  the current value of num = 0 as input parameter.

proc GetNumLineModel {num} {
    return[GiD_Info Geometry NumLines $num]
}

The procedure is wrong, the syntax, because "GiD_Info Geometry NumLines" doesn't has any more parameter like $num
It seems that you want to set the 'num' bas variable with the value of the procedure !!

bas variables and tcl variables are not related each other

It is possible to set a bas variable with the value returned by a tcl procedure, but only if the returned value is a number, with something like this
set var num=tcl(GetNumLines)

Usually you can't assign the returned value of a tcl procedure to a .bas variable. The returned value is directly printed to the calculation file


You can do something like this.

.cnd
CONDITION: Line_ID
CONDTYPE: over lines
CONDMESHTYPE: over nodes
QUESTION: ID#FUNC#(NumEntity)
VALUE: 0
STATE:HIDDEN
END CONDITION

This condition with a field #FUNC#(NumEntity) is necessary to have some link between mesh and geometry entities.
You must assign this condition to all geometric lines

and then without any tcl you can use something like this to know the nodes and its line source number
.bas
*set cond Line_ID *nodes *canrepeat
*loop nodes onlyincond
  *nodesnum *cond(ID)
*end nodes

you can read this information in your program, and reorder internally as you want
If you can't modify your program, can try to reorder it with a tcl procedure, then you can use something like

*.bas
*tcl(MyGetNodesOfLines)

*.tcl
proc MyGetNodesOfLines { } {
  #ask the information of the nodes and its lines and reorder by lines
  foreach item [GiD_Info Conditions Line_ID mesh] {
      set nodenum [lindex $item 1]
      set linenum [lindex $item 3]
      lappend NodesOfLine($linenum) $nodenum
  }
  set res ""
  foreach i [lsort -integer [array names NodesOfLine]] {    
    append res "Nodes of line num $i: [lsort -integer $NodesOfLine($i)]
"
  }
  return $res
}

I attach a small problemtype with this .cnd, .bas, .tcl files

Dear Henrique Escolano,

Your suggestion helps me very much. thanks. But I have another doubt. As i
am developing a optimization program using Gid as interface to update my
design variables, I want to know how can I do to get the information about a
selected point of control of a surface that I need to optimize? For example
I'd like select a surface get this surface number , specify  a control point
in the u direction and another in v direction and define the direction that
I shoud to control such as x-position or y-position in 2D scenario. So, I
can write a output file (using bas file)  as :
*DESIGN_VARIABLE
<number of design variable>
<design variable number><geometry entity><ID of the geometry><control point
selected in u direction><control point selected in v direction> <label of
direction that is been controlled>

For example: I have one design variable that is a nurbssurface. The number
of this surface is 15 and I should control the x-direction of the control
points 5 and 6 respectively in u direction and v direction. So, the output
file wrote by GiD must be

*DESIGN_VARIABLE
1
1 NURBSSURFACE     15      5    6      X-POS

It-s possible do that? Please, how can I do proceed to do that?

Sincerely

Hello to all.

 

Can I make cracks with duplicate option?   What does this option make?  When
can I use this option?

 

Thanks to all.

Hello Janneth,
 
You can use the 'duplicate' option to deal with cracks if you have the
corresponding geometrical entity where the crack will be. When you assign
'duplicate' mesh criteria to an entity, this entity will give two meshes,
one oriented to each sense. 
 
You can see a simple example in the GiD Help (section Mesh->Mesh Criteria).
 
Regards,
 
                                            ABEL

Hello Abel

 

Of course, but i have another question. Is it possible that a crack will be
on perimeter? In this example the crack is inside the element. 

I made a model by “duplicate option” in an element perimeter but always it
gives me tension on the crack head although it’s in the element perimeter. 

 

 

Example

 



 

I haven’t been able to make it. I would be very grateful if you could help
me.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

 

 

Janneth.

Hello Janneth,
 
There is no problem if you want to have the lines or surfaces with
"duplicate" mesh criteria in the perimeter. Thee only thing you have to take
into account is that GiD cannot create a surface if a line owns to it two
times. You may have to split the surface into 2, and assign to some of the
sharing lines the "duplicate" mesh criteria. 
 
Find in the attachment a graphical example which may explain better this
explanation.

Hello Jannet,

You are right, The end nodes of the 'duplicated lines' are shared, not duplicated. It's well for internal 'cracks', but as you said it's bad for lines cutting the perimeter, because the final node is joining both parts.
We will enhance our algorith for next versions to deal with this kind of situations.

You are not asking for an intrinsic GiD feature, I think that you are requesting about  'RamSeries' is not?

Depending on the Ramseries version, I think that it exists a Non-Linear elastic constraint (NL Elastic Constraint)
You can define it as 'Tensile only' (or define with a table your the stress-strain law, with a near-infinite modulus for compression and 0 for tension)

                              [GiDlist] Fiber section problem GiD/Opensees

Send by: marco paccapelo
On: Mon Jun 16 21:36:02 CEST 2008



Hello
 
I have a problem to interface GiD and Opensees wile i'm try to assign the comand Fiber Section because i Thougt to assign the fiber values with the material, but in this way i will definy some materials with the same values.
The problem is that Opensees need the number of the section ( $j ), that is differet for each type of section.
The comand that we use in tcl for Opensees is:
 
  section Fiber       $j          { #                SectionTag patch quad   $MP    $nfp   $nfp2    [expr -$l1(j)/2.0]  [expr -$dpm/2.0]  [expr $l1(j)/2.0]  [expr -$dpm/2.0]  [expr $l1(j)/2.0]  [expr $dpm/2.0]  [expr -$l1(j)/2.0]  [expr $dpm/2.0]      #            Mat    SubdIJ SubdJK   yI                zI            yJ               zJ            yK               zK           yL                zL                              }};
 
 
my question is if there is a different way to assign the values of the section, indipendently from material
I thought also to assign these value like conditions, but my problem is in the value $j, that is the ordinal number of the section, but i don't know if exist a comand like *matnum for the condition.
 
I saw the comand    #Mat#(bookName), but i don't understand how it function. anybody have an example with this comand
 
Thanks for HelP

I don't understand well what are you trying to do, but probably you had better using a 'GiD condition' instead a 'GiD material'

You can define a condition with a field to store your section identifier, and other fields that can store the material properties (or better a field that point to a material name, that store the common material properties), e.g.

BOOK: Properties
MATERIAL: Steel
...

BOOK:Other_book
MATERIAL: Steel
...

CONDITION:Fiber
CONDTYPE: over lines
CONDMESHTYPE: over nodes
QUESTION:Section_ID
VALUE:0
QUESTION:Made_of#MAT#(Properties)
VALUE:some_material
END CONDITION


You can classify GiD materials by 'book', then GiD menus will show each book in separated menus.
You can use materials of a book for special purposes, for example, maybe you only want materials of the book Properties to be used in Fiber condition, 
QUESTION:Made_of#MAT#(Properties) specify that only this group of materials will be show for this field at runtime.

Hello
i try to write better my problem:
i need to use GiD as preprocessor with Opensees.
In my case of study, I should assign to each elements a material and a fiber section, and opensees need a 
list of these and a number to indentify witch of both is assigned to each elements.
This is a part of the .bas that i wrote:




#1) Cemento

*loop materials

but now I have some questions, because in the manual i don't find more information about the #mat# command. i saw that if i use it in the *.cmd i can found the 
number of the material (*matnum(cond....))     but i cant find the comand for the .bas file to use it   because in specific case i need to obtain the number of the 
Material that i store.
I prefer to assign, if possible the section like material, because it is assignedto elemens so i need the matnum of each section. 
 
in the bas i need a thing like that

enougth i thing that assign the sections like materials is better for the user, because he have the possibility to store the sections, without write every time the values.
I dont understand why is better assign the section as a condition and not as a material.

                                                      [GiDlist] Fiber section problem GiD/Opensees

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Mon Jun 30 11:55:02 CEST 2008



I continue thinking that it's better a condition that point to two material names: a section and a material
the condition can be transferred to elements, not only to nodes. Note CONDMESHTYPE: over body elements

CONDITION:Fiber
CONDTYPE: over lines
CONDMESHTYPE: over body elements
QUESTION:Section#MAT#(Sections)
VALUE:
QUESTION:Made_of#MAT#(Materials)
VALUE:
END CONDITION

The advantage is that is easier for the user to be applied to some entity without create every time a new material for each combination of section-material. You only need a collection of sections and materials that can be predefined if you want in your problemtype (and also can create new ones at runtime)

The #MAT# command basically provide at runtime that the field wil be filled with the name of one of the current list of materials (of a book if specified), 
You must do a loop over materials to identify which material is associated with a name. Matprop(0) contain the name of the material
 *if(strcmp(Matprop(0),cond(Made_of))==0)

Some more comments:
1 -The loop materials only take into account materials applied to some entities. unused materials are not listed
You must use the *NotUsed modifier to have a loop over unapplied materials (probably in your case all are unapplied)
*loop materials *NotUsed
...
*end materials

2 - Material number *matnum is a 'local' increasing number of the material 1,2,..n inside the loop materials, it's not a 'global' identifier

3- I recommend to use the same question to identify the type of material, e.g, instead to use
QUESTION: Cemento
QUESTION: Sezione
use for all materials the same question (you can set as hidden because it is not filled by the user)
QUESTION: Type 
then instead use MatProp(1), you can use the fieldname MatProp(Type)

Read GiD help about TCL/TK EXTENSION->Control functions->Info function-> GiD_Geometry

With this GiD Tcl command you can ask GiD to know the geometric information, or also create/delete gemetric entities.

e.g. can ask the information using

GiD_Geometry get surface $num

Some comments:

1- don't use this names for your variables or window names, because they are used for some GiD standard windows
e.g, instead 
    global ParametricPriv 
    set w .gid.parametric
    InitWindow $w "Create Parametric Line" ParametricWindowGeom
can use some like:
    global PakkaPriv 
    set w .gid.pakka
    InitWindow $w [= "Pakka window"] PakkaWindowGeom

2- It's a bad idea to apply conditions directly to mesh entities, it's better to apply to geometric entities and then generate the mesh.

and your if expression "if { [GiD_Info conditions]   5 } "  is wrong: 
  - GiD_Info conditions  need more arguments, read GiD help to know this and 
  - and you need to use some conditional, like  if { [GiD_Info conditions ....]  == "5" }   (read some manual about Tcl syntax)


I really don't understand what are you trying to do.

you can ask GiD for the list of the nodes and its values with the condition Point-Force-Load 
GiD_Info conditions Point-Force-Load mesh

and you can apply for example the values $fx $fy $fz to the nodes 1 and 2 (in mesh view) with
GiD_AssignData condition Point-Force-Load Nodes "$fx $fy $fz" "1 2" 
or also with this through the GiD process loop:
GiD_Process Mescape  Data Conditions AssignCond Point-Force-Load Change $fx $fy $fz 1 2

 Dear GID developper team,

I suggest to add balnking option to GID post-processor, like Tecplot 10, in
this way user can blank (exclude) (remove from rendering windows) a portion
of data based on his selected criteria,

e.g., if we have a material code in data which determine material type in
data, user could select to blank material code equal to XXX. to get more
desirable plot,

or

in a stress analysis user can exclude a portion of data which has stress
smaller than a threshold.

this option could be include a transparency option intead of complete
exclusion.

what you think?

if such option is already available, please let me know?

Cheers ... ruholla.

This option already exists, at least for exclude results smaller or greater than a threshold.
e.g.
menu Options->Contour->Max options or Min options
you can set the theshold value and set the values outside to be transparent, or the color of the threshold or the material color, or black / white

Do you have also in the toolbar three icons (red, blue and rainbow to set maximum, minimum or reset to default)

Please, update to the last nastran3.2 interface.
Can download directly from the GiD menu Data->Problemtype->Internet retrieve
or from this server ftp://gid.cimne.com/pub/gidmodules/GiD-Nastran-Interface3.2.zip

You can transform an existent GiD model from a problemtype to a similar version (e.g from nastran2.4 to nastran3.2) using the menu Data->Problemtype->Transform 

A recommendation:copy the problemtype or a link to the problemtye inside the problemytpes GiD directory, then your model will have a relative path to the problemtype, 
instead a full path.

A tensor result can be defined (a 3x3 symmetrical matrix representing usually a stress/strain tensor) as result.
GiD can then calculate the eigenvectores and eigenvalues and show them (main directions as vectors and main values as scalar result of contour fill, etc)
If do you know some other interesting way of visualize this kind of result let us know.

be applied  automatic before mesh generation. I  wrote a tcl procedure but
didn't  happen anything.

proc BeforeMeshGeneration { elementsize } {

    set numlines     [GiD_Info Geometry NumLines]
   set numsurfaces  [GiD_Info Geometry NumSurfaces]

 GiD_AssignData condition  points Keypoint-Var ... 1:$numpoints
 GiD_AssignData condition lines Line-Var ... 1:$numlines
 GiD_AssignData condition surfaces Surface-Var ... 1:$numsurfaces

}

What is wrong? Please, let me know

On: Thu Jun 26 18:19:02 CEST 2008



The GiD_AssignData condition tcl command has as arguments the condition name, and then the type of entity to be applied (points, lines, etc)
you have reversed this two parameters!!
 and then the values ... as a single item (off course the number of values must be the same as the number of questions of the condition definition)
finally a item with the entities selection.  As trick you can use "end" for the last entity number, then it's unnecessary to ask for the amount on entities, 
Another detail: maybe the last entity identifier is greater than the amount of entities (e.g. when deleting some entity), 
instead [GiD_Info Geometry NumPoints] you must had to use [GiD_Info Geometry MaxNumPoints]

Concluding you can use something like this (using off course your own condition values)

proc BeforeMeshGeneration { elementsize } {
    GiD_AssignData condition Keypoint-Var points {3 1 5} 1:end
    GiD_AssignData condition Line-Var lines {45 1 12} 1:end
    GiD_AssignData condition Surface-Var surfaces {27 4 8.5} 1:end
}

Dear Enrique,

Thanks for reply, Computing tensor invariants, e.g., eigenvalues and its
principal directions (eigenvectors) is a common (and probably best) way in
this regard, but, Its physically sensible rendering is indeed a difficult
job. I do not exactly know how GID do rendering. If possible plrease forward
to me a sample input file for this purpose (via private email).

A simple way is to use ellipsoidal tensor glyph (e.g. MedINRIA use this
option), however this glyph is incomplete, in fact this glyph could not
cover situtions when all eighenvalue have not the same sign (hyperbola is
required, dark or bright). A more complete shape space could be generated by
spherical harmonic decomposition, it may be a way to visualize high order
tensors too (more than order 2).

If you are interested we could disscus more on this issue.


Cheers ... ruholla.

Here you have a 2d version. Just display vectors of 'Nodal Stress' with a
factor of 100, and you'll get them.

Dear Enrique,

 

Thanks for reply, Computing tensor invariants, e.g., eigenvalues and its
principal directions (eigenvectors) is a common (and probably best) way in
this regard, but, Its physically sensible rendering is indeed a difficult
job. I do not exactly know how GID do rendering. If possible plrease forward
to me a sample input file for this purpose (via private email).

 

A simple way is to use ellipsoidal tensor glyph (e.g. MedINRIA use this
option), however this glyph is incomplete, in fact this glyph could not
cover situtions when all eighenvalue have not the same sign (hyperbola is
required, dark or bright). A more complete shape space could be generated by
spherical harmonic decomposition, it may be a way to visualize high order
tensors too (more than order 2).

 

If you are interested we could disscus more on this issue.

 

 

Cheers ... ruholla.


 

A tensor result can be defined (a 3x3 symmetrical matrix representing =
usually a stress/strain tensor) as result.
GiD can then calculate the eigenvectores and eigenvalues and show them =
(main directions as vectors and main values as scalar result of contour =
fill, etc)
If do you know some other interesting way of visualize this kind of =
result let us know.

                  [GiDlist] run-time error

Send by: Ruhollah Tavakoli
On: Tue Jul 1 11:03:02 CEST 2008



Dear,

I used 1-month evaluation version of GID (v. 9.0-rc2) for postprocess of
heat transfer simulation, it works well for small data set, however when my
data be large about 10 milions hex element, runtime error during loading,
without any message, I do not know it is related to memory or limitation of
my version or other thing, any idea?

Firther, I think 1-month is quit insufficient for evaluation purpose,
consider each simulation takes O(week) to complete, and challenge of
postprocess is indeed related to large data set. Is it possible to extend
evaluation period (GID capability and feedback seems to be promising, but
need time to evaluate and figure out limitations)?

Thanks.

Cheers ... ruholla.

Dear Ruhollah,
 
concerning the evaluation version, you can download free 1-month passwords
three times for your computer, so you can spend two more months for testing
GiD capabilities. Other thing is that you can download now the 9.0 official
version, which was released llast friday (its passwords system is the same
as 9.0-rc2).

Probably the runtime error was caused, as you said, for a limitation of RAM

How much physical memory do you have?  Are you using a 32 or a 64 bits GiD version?

A 32bits program can only handle about 2-3GB of RAM, if your 32 gid process exceed this amount the system can crash.
A 64 bit program can in theory handle a lot more, but in practice you probably doesn't have a lot a RAM nowadays.

Maybe you can try to reduce your amount of data (writting less time steps results, and using smaller meshes)

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Wed Jul 2 15:13:02 CEST 2008



The 'old' command that you are using to "select the previous point from its coordinates" must be specified after 
enter the coordinates of the point that are "close to another old point", and will only work if your general preference "Create new point" is set to ask


escape escape escape escape geometry create line
15,40,0
0,40,0
escape escape escape escape geometry create line
old
15,40,0
15,17.8192,0
...

must be changed to:

escape escape escape escape utilities variables CreateAlwaysNewPoint 0
escape escape escape escape geometry create line
15,40,0
0,40,0
escape escape escape escape geometry create line
15,40,0
old
15,17.8192,0
...

The problem is that you don't know when exists a "close point" to provide 'old' as answer to the possible GiD question.

It's recommended when importing batchs to set the "Create new point" preference to 'always', to be possitive that GiD create a new point in the specified coordinates, without ask nothing.

You can also use Join (or FJoin to avoid an error if it is already in join state) and specify the entity id, not its coordinates
It can be difficult to know the 'old entity id', but you can assume that each new entity increase by one the higher entity id


e.g.
escape escape escape escape utilities variables CreateAlwaysNewPoint 1
escape escape escape escape geometry create line
15,40,0
0,40,0
escape escape escape escape geometry create line
fjoin
1
15,17.8192,0
...


or you can create the lines duplicating the points, and before create the surface join this points with a collapse of lines
(in general is unrecommended use funtions like collapse in a batch, because you miss the control of the entities id's, collapsing some entities can be deleted or created)

Hi, Enrique,

I use 32b version and my PC has 2.5 Gb RAM, based on your explanation it
should be a memory problem, however I think that it is worth if program give
warning and terminate the application instead of crash, I think it is a
programming error that system try to allocate memory while sufficient memory
is no longer available!

Hi, we released GiD version 9 a couple of days ago. I recommend you use this
latest version.

Regarding your question, you can do an iso-surface of one or several values
of a result and using the colour of this value to differentiate them. A
legend is also shown with the correspondence between the colours and the
values. The option ‘Options --> Iso surfaces --> Color Mode --> Result
color’ should be selected.

 

Here are two examples, the first one with one value:



And the second one with five values:



If you are talking of showing the label of the value over the
isosurface/isoline, at the moment this is not possible, but we write it down
for future releases. 

Thanks for the suggestion.

Best regards,

hi,

i use GiD for creating a mesh from a .stl file.
at first i import the file and than i press geometry->create->surface mesh.

After doing this and selecting the object, this error message appear.

Error: element 15065 has two or more adyacent elements at the same 
 edge -> elem 16957 and elem 15067. Cannot continue.

What can i do to fix this error?


Or how can i import a point cloud from an .xyz/.txt file to create a mesh.

I need to work with GiD to get a file for elmer!

Hi Martin,

Send us your STL to test it,

You can import the file as mesh and try to visually see the problem. For a 
surface, the inner triangle edges must be shared by tho triangles, and in 
you case there are at least three!!

I recommend to import as mesh triangles, then export them with the 
DXF-SAP200 template, and import again to have a surface for each triangle.
Do you have more tool to edit geometrical entities than mesh entities (you 
can try to join planar parts, etc)

Regards

Enrique

hi Enrique,

here is my .stl file!

1.
when i visualize my mesh and it has a problem. is there a way to go to element
15065 for fixing it or how can i find the element 15065!

2.
i looked at my .stl mesh in GiD and i found some gaps my other programm
(point2polys) made. i like to use only GiD, so is it possible to start with an
point cloud in GiD to get an mesh. because i wrote a programm that creates only
point cloudes.

3.
after exporting the stl into an dxf (DXF-SAP200) and importing it again. i have
a surface for each triangle. is there a way to erase the mesh and get an simpler
looking surface for my mesh?

for example the dxf is an cylinder (2000 triangles and 2000 surfaces) and i want
to create a cylinder with no triangles and 3 surfaces?

this is better for assigning some conditions to the surfaces.

regards

martin

Hi Martin,

Your mesh is relivelly simple, I've read your stl as a mesh, and manually 
edited to delete the triangles that are visually bad (the  joins of pipes, 
and some tops),
I deleted this bad triangles, and created other better (to have at least a 
closed volume).
To created manually triangles I used as trick the enclosed 'CreateMesh' 
problemtype that add a toolbar to create this triangles.

I attach the corrected triangulation, exported again as stl 
(test1_corrected.stl)
You can now import it as surfmesh without problems (I tried to create a 
volume and meshed it with size=0.1 without any problem)

                  [GiDlist] Problem with Uncollapse Volumes

Send by: anjaney vatsal
On: Fri Jul 11 16:42:02 CEST 2008



Hi

I am having some problem with the command Uncollapse volumes. When I use it
with two blocks it works well.  But when the number of blocks increases say
4 then it does not work. Infact, Gid stops responding. I am using windows.
Basically I have to draw few polyhedra attached to each other at their
vertices using batch file and I have got all the coordinates. All volumes
are drawn in the sequence of line->surafce->volume. But hese volumes( or
polyhedra) have common vertices. Now finally I wanted to uncollapse all the
vloumes so that these vertices are duplicated. But I am not able to find out
why such strange thing is happening. If it cannot be done in this way, is
there any alternative to draw polyhedra.

Anticipating your response

Thanking You

Send by: Helver Mauricio Barrera Cardenas
On: Tue Jul 15 17:09:01 CEST 2008



Dear Sir.

I'm a thus far satisfied GiD user, and now I am interested in performing adaptive meshing. Following
the book of Zienkewicz et al, in is clear that after a first analysis using a standard mesh-like
the one presented in the GiD user's guide- a new element size h is computed for each element,
then this value is used to compute an averaged value of h to the nodes of the current mesh, and
then this one is used as background mesh to generate the new mesh, upon which a new, improved 
analysis is performed. I have computed these new values of h to each node of the initial mesh; 
yet, I haven't been able to find a way to tell GiD to take these values and carry out remeshing.
Is there a straightforward manner of doing this with GiD? I'd be very grateful if you could help
me out with this one. Thanks for your attention.

Yes, read GiD help about Mesh->Unstructured->Sizes by background mesh:
  
you can write a background mesh file, that basically is a mesh and a list of new required sizes on nodes (or on elements that will be averaged to the nodes)
This mesh could be the one that you just have solved and where you can estimate the new required sizes, 
This is a sample (only triangles or tetrahedra can be used as background mesh)

BackgroundMesh V 1.0
MESH dimension 3 ElemType Triangle Nnode 3
Coordinates
1 5.61705 4.81504 0.00000
...
51 -5.64191 -1.53335 0.00000
end coordinates

Elements
1 24 16 26 
2 16 10 14 
...

end elements

DesiredSize Nodes
1 0.20000
2 0.50000
...
51 1.50000
End DesiredSize

To assign this as meshing sizes, go to menu Mesh->Unstructured->Sizes by background mesh...
select your .bgm file and generate a new mesh.

You are right James, 
We are going to fix this bug soon, but as advice, it's much better to directly copy your problemtypes (or a link pointing to your problemtypes to avoid multiple copies of the same problemtype) 
inside the problemtypes directory of GiD, 

then it's eaiser to load the problemtype directly with 'Data>Problem Type>cmas2d'
instead 'Data>Problem Type>Load... and find the location of the problemtype
and more important, the GiD model will store a relative path to your problemtype, then you can send your examples to another user that could have GiD installed on other location, but the problemtype is relatively in the same location, and can be loaded without problems (when you use Data>Problem Type>Load..., GiD will store the absolute path!!)

where *cond(1) and *cond(2) takes a different value for each of the four faces of an element and should be equal to zero for a face without any condition set.

these is exactly write as I need, but Opensees seems to not accept to store fiber with the same number of identification ( these is also not very good for the output, that have definited fiber as the number of the elements with these condition.


So now I follow the way to assign the combination as a materials, and these seems to have more possibilities to work as we need. 

**bas

*loop materials 
*set var mio=matprop(Section,real)
*matnum *mio
*loop materials *notused
*if(strcmp(Matprop(0),"Sezione")==0)
*matnum *matprop(1) *matprop(3) *matprop(4) *matprop(5)       *mio
*end
*if(strcmp(Matprop(0),"Materiale")==0)
*matnum *matprop(1) *matprop(3) *matprop(4) *matprop(5)
*end
*end materials
*end materials

**mat Is the same as I wrote before with the combination material

BOOK: Combinations

MATERIAL:C1
QUESTION:Tipologia
VALUE: Combined
STATE:HIDDEN
QUESTION: Section#MAT#(Sections)
VALUE: Sezione
QUESTION: Material#MAT#(Materials)
VALUE: Materiale
END MATERIAL

these material is the only that is applied to elems

my problem is that I have a problem to assign the value to a Variable

in my cade I need to assign to the variable ( in the example the varname is “mio” that should report the name of the material that is selected in the Material “C1”. The var report an error if written 

*set var mio=matprop(Section)

the error is: Command: matprop must be defined INT or REAL
Error into an *Operation expression in set var
well I wrote in the bas file

*set var mio=matprop(Section,real) or *set var mio=matprop(Section,int) 

but it give me a value assigned to the variable “mio” as “0” , but I need that it report the name of the material or of the Section that I want to put in the combination 

in the code that I reported in the bas I forced the loop on the Not Used materials to select predefined sections, but I hope that with the variable I could select it automatically.

The result of the bas that I wrote is

1 0
2 Cemento 5 8 5
3 Sezione 4 4 4      0


enough I dont understand why the software invert the selection of the materials, the *mio that report the 0 value is written in the second line in the bas file, but in the result file is in the last.


So there is a way to assign to a variable a name instead to a number?

If I assign the combination as a material, in the output file I have only the section/materials that I need and there are not duplicated.

Thanks for help!!!

                              [GiDlist] Outputing conditions

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Mon Jul 21 12:58:02 CEST 2008



I assumed that you have defined the 'Flux' condition as
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements

You can do a loop over the faces with this condition applied with:

*Set Cond Flux
*loop elems onlyincond
   *ElemsNum *GlobalNodes(1) *GlobalNodes(2) *GlobalNodes(3) *Cond(1) 
*Cond(2)
*end elems

GlobalNodes returns the nodes of the face.

This loop will only output the faces with condition, you can't ask for the 
Cond field of other faces without this condition applied!!

I think that it't unnecesary to repeat the *Cond(1) *Cond(2) for the three 
nodes of the face, because is the same for the whole face,
and it's more recommended to use the fieldname instead the index.

Regards

Enrique

Thank you very much for your reply.  I have been waiting for it eagerly.  The background to my problem is that I am trying to implement the boundary element theory in a finite element sense, ie element by element.  In this case it is necessary to repeat *cond(1) *cond(2) for the three nodes, because other faces may share the same nodes but will have different conditions.  The  flux condition has been defined as follows:

NUMBER: 2 CONDITION: Flux
CONDTYPE: over surfaces
CONDMESHTYPE: over face elements
QUESTION: FluxStatus
VALUE: 0
QUESTION: FluxValue
VALUE: 0
END CONDITION

For elements that are completely internal, I appreciate that no conditions will be set, but I need to this information as zeros.  There will be boundary elements that will have more than one value of the conditions, since they can share more than just one boundary face.  Is it possible in this case to output the information as I have formatted it?

Your continued assistance in this matter is highly appreciated.

E. Nyirenda

you can get information of the condition 'Surfac_Load' with
GiD_Info conditions Surface_Load mesh

the returned information includes the element number , the local face number (for conditions over face elements) and the applied condition values

knowing the element and the face number, you can know its nodes with:
GiD_Info list_entities elements $num
or also with
GiD_Info Mesh Elements $elementtype $num


The local nodes of the element faces are:
 Triangle: 1-2   2-3   3-1
 Quadrilateral: 1-2   2-3   3-4   4-1
 Tetrahedra: 1-2-3   2-4-3   3-4-1   4-2-1
 Hexahedra: 1-2-3-4   1-4-8-5   1-5-6-2   2-6-7-3   3-7-8-4   5-8-7-6

Dear Khalaq,
 
In pre-process it is possible to customize render and assign size to any
entity type "View->Render->Customize...". In post-process from "Window->View
style..." can be assign a line size for each set (It is the "Ew" parameter)
Also it is possible to change the resolution option from "Files->Page Setup"
and obtain smoother images.
I hope it helps.

Your GiD version can't change the line's size.

Can try to use the ps/eps vectorial, or the .png format that use image compression without loss of quality (jpeg can decrease the quality)

In any case, your images are not so bad as I expected, I think that your problem is increasing when you resize the images (try to resize, if necessary, with a good program like Photoshop)

I am dealing with a problem that is not possible to create additional (new) nodes to the domain.

Dear Jonas,
 
The only way to generate a mesh without adding extra nodes is to force to
mesh with a size bigger than the surface size. You should set all the lines
as structured (with one division), and set a very big mesh size when you
selecte 'Mesh->Generate'. You should also have to set the 'Automatic correct
Sizes' to NULL (in Utilities->Preferences->Meshing).

This command is currently only implemented for NURBS surfaces, we will implement it for other kind of surfaces for next beta versions.

If you want you can convert Planar or Coons surfaces (deprecated) to NURBS with the menu Geomety->Edit->Convert to NURBS->Surfaces 
Note: Surf-meshes is an special case that can't be converted to a NURBS expression

You can also use the GiD_Info list_entities surfaces Tcl command to get the surface information (in a more human like style)

You can use GiD 'contact' volume entities, that link two surfaces and force when meshing a node-to-node relationship

We don't  have any specific tutorial related to contacts, but there is nothing special: the 'contact volume' is like a meshing criteria to have similar meshes in both surfaces and auxiliary elements linking its nodes. 
You will obtain standard elements, that probably you can separate of the main mesh by the element type (e.g. you can mesh standard volumes with tetraedra and obtain prisms or line elements for the contact volumes, and use it to know couples of nodes)

Dear Sir.
 
Is it possible to somehow divide a quadrilateral mesh into a triangular one? I ask this because only triangular background meshes are allowed, yet I'm trying to apply an adaptive meshing scheme from data obtained on a quadrilateral mesh. If this is possible, I suppose that once I get the new mesh, I should be able to merge triangles back together so as to recover a quadrilateral mesh and then proceed on with an improved analysis. Am I right?
Thanks a lot for your help.

                              [GiDlist] Background mesh

Send by: Abel Coll
On: Mon Aug 25 12:37:01 CEST 2008



Dear Mauricio,
 
You can divide a quadrilateral mesh into a triangular one using 'Mesh ->
Edit Mesh->Split Elements -> Quadrilateral->Triangle' option. Once you have
the new triangles they should work as the other triangular meshes, so you
can use them normally as a background mesh. 
 
Note that the quadrilaterals can be splitted in two ways (symmetrically or
not) depending on the option 'Symmetrical structured', which can be set in
'Preferences -> Meshing'.

As Abel explained, you can split GiD quadrilaterals into 2 triangles (without add nodes) or 4 triangles (adding a new central node), but probably you don't need to use this tool for your background mesh. 
Your own solver can write the new background mesh file writting your quadrilaterals as two triangles and setting the new required nodal sizes.

  Dear Mauricio,

  You can divide a quadrilateral mesh into a triangular one using 'Mesh -> Edit Mesh->Split Elements -> Quadrilateral->Triangle' option. Once you have the new triangles they should work as the other triangular meshes, so you can use them normally as a background mesh. 

  Note that the quadrilaterals can be splitted in two ways (symmetrically or not) depending on the option 'Symmetrical structured', which can be set in 'Preferences -> Meshing'.

  Regards,

                                                  ABEL

                  [GiDlist] Distance

Send by: Georg Haasemann
On: Wed Aug 27 13:34:01 CEST 2008



Hello,
I have the following problem:

There is a curved line (or surface) and a point P located outside the
line (or surface). Now I would like to find the closest distance between
this point P and the line (or surface) or quite similar: A straight line
which runs through the point P and it has the normal orientation of the
line (or surface) at the point of intersection.
Is there any solution of this problem using the geometrical operations
given in GiD?

Regards,
Georg

You can use the division of the line by 'near point'

Geometry->Edit->Divide->Lines->Near point
select the point P
and the line/s to be divided, this lines will be splitted by the closest 
point.

You can also use the GiD_Info parametric Tcl command, to know the parameter 
t of the closest point to x,y,z
set t [GiD_Info parametric line $entity_id t_fromcoord $x $y $z]
and then evaluate the line at this parameter
set pt [GiD_Info parametric line $entity_id coord $t]

(you can easily add a button to the macros toolbar that invoke a Tcl 
procedure to do this operation)

Hello Mark,

The Si, Sii and Siii components from Matrix and PlainDeformationMatrix
results (in your case stresses), are calculated by GiD, which represents
the eigen values & vectors of the matrix results, and which are ordered
according to the eigen value. From the page:
http://www.gidhome.com/support_team/gid_toc/gid148.html#POSTPROCESS%20DATA%20FILES%3EPostprocess%20results%20format:%20ProjectName.post.res%3EResult%20block
("Note" section)

It represents Sigma 1, 2 and 3. Together with the eigen vectors their are
used to display the stresses with the option "display vectors"

Hope it helps,

Dears,

I have doubts about GiD parametrization using Nurbs entities. Are there some
way to force the control points of a nurbs surface have the same position of
the control points of a nurbs line that it belongs? For example, I have a
nurbs line with 4 control points but anyone have the same position of the
control points of its nurbs surface.

In general, the control points of a nurbs line that belongs to a nurbs
surface can't be defined by the control points of the nurbs surface.
One case that the control points of the nurbs line and the control points of
the nurbs surface could be the same is when the nurbs line is one of the
four boundaries of the Untrimmed nurbs surface.
 
In GiD, if you have a untrimmed nurbs surface and you use
Geometry->Edit->Divide->Surfaces->Num divisions or
Geometry->Edit->Divide->Surfaces->Near Point or
Geometry->Edit->Divide->Surfaces->Parameter (almost always excepting
simplification, degree reduction, etc..) you would create a nurbs line that
have control points equal to the two nurbs surfaces surrounding

Always, I am importing a acis model to GiD and the surfaces are nurbs but

Thanks  Melendo,

Ok,  I am sending to you my geometry in acis format and the gid project. I
want to optimizer the Z and Y direction of the control points 2 and 3 of
nurbs lines number 5,6,11,12,13,15,20,22. By topological reason, in my
opinion, the control points of the boundary of the surfaces number
2,4,7,9,11,12 should be the sames control points of  its boundaries lines.
Because,  when I input one line,  I need to know what are the respective
control points of the surface that has this line as boundary. Indirectly, I
am selecting this surfaces as design variable too. For example, I input the
line 13 and this line has 4 control points, I would wait that the surface
number 7 has had this same 4 control points on the boundary, because it is
composed by this line in its boundary.

Else, the volume will be open when I render the model.

Let me know if I have been clear.

I can explain you how to solve this problem but it requires manual work on
each surfaces and it's useful just in this case where the surfaces to
optimize are planar.
 
The surfaces that you want to optimize (2,4,7,9,11,12) are trimmed, surfaces
2,4,7,9 could be untrimmed but 11 and 12 couldn't be since they have a hole.
I attach a possible modification of this surfaces to convert a part of them
untrimmed.In the rest of surfaces you will need to destroy the surface and
created again by contour using a special option that you could find in right
menu "Geometry->Create->NurbsSurface->NoTryPlanar" Doing that you would
create untrimmed NurbsSurfaces equal to 2,4,7,9 . Now using
"Geometry->Edit->EdNurbsSurf" and "Geometry->Edit->EdNurbsLine" you have to
make compatible the knots and the degree of the surface in each direction to
mach with boundary lines (in you case, you only need to use
"Geometry->Edit->EdNurbsSurf" to make sure that all surfaces have degree 3
in the direction shared with lines that you want to optimize) By using the
List Entities option you can check all the information of Nurbs Lines and
Nurbs Surfaces.
 
I hope it helps,

                              [GiDlist] Wrong interpolation in 8-noded quadrilaterial

Send by: Andreas Hauck
On: Sat Sep 6 00:29:01 CEST 2008



Dear GiD-team,

we've encountered a problem regarding the interpolation in the
postprocessing of quadrilaterals with 8 nodes: when 7 of the 8 nodes
have e.g. a value of 1 and one corner node a value of -1, the value in
the middle of the quadrilateral gets a value of 1.5 which is clearly
wrong. It seems like GiD calculates a "mean" value for a virtual 9th
node in the middle of the quadrilateral, which somehow has a problem
with the negative value.

I have attached a 1-element example to show the error. We have tried GiD
8 and 9 under Linux.

Regards,
Andreas

Send by: miguel
On: Mon Sep 8 13:50:02 CEST 2008



Hello Andreas,

When a serendipity 8 node quadrilateral is used in GiD, GiD calculates de
middle node like this:
	middleNode = 0.5 * ( SumMiddleEdgeNodes - 0.5 * SumVertexNodes)

It is not a linear interpolation. This is explained in Eugenio Oñate's book
"Cálculo de Estructuras por el Método de Elementos Finitos".
On page 204, the Figure 5.21 shows you the behaviour of such an element.

If you set one of the middle-edge nodes to -1 and the rest to 1, in the
middle node you'll get a '0'.

Hope this helps you.

Hello Marco,


everything is all right concerning GiDs behavior.

You are editing line nr. 1 and you are generating 5 new lines out of one
old line, that is deleted after this operation. That means that the
lowest existing line nr. after this operation is 2 and the largest line
number is 6.

You can use the command

GiD_Process Mescape Utilities Renumber Yes

to achieve that line numbers start with 1 again.

Hello Martin,thanks for your attention, but also with Renumber (via right button and by top menu) i have the problem that the numbers of the lines give by the tcl is not the right. I try to make a foreach  proc OpenSees_Prova { } {        set AA [GiD_Info layers -entities lines Arcate]    set x ''"    foreach {line} $AA {        set Prova [GiD_Info Mesh Elements Linear $line]         append x '$Prova
'    }return $x with two lines divided into 2 lines each (by Geometry, Edit, Divide, Lines), as you tell, it give {3 4 5 6} and i don't need to put out that, but connections, so if what i expected is a list of four lines, but in the process results there are only the result for lines 3 and 4.If I plot Label -> All the lines that was created after the lines divisions start by 1 to 4, as it should be. if i set AA {1 2 3 4} the resuls are that i expectedso, if the two big lines that I create are numbered 1 and 2, why the software give result with "set AA {1 2 3 4}" and not with the command? 
 
I attached the problem with the two lines
 
Thanks for Your Attentions

Hello Marco,

You are confusing geometric lines and mesh entities (linear elements)

GiD_Info layers -entities lines Arcate
return the lines identifiers of this layer: 3 4 5 6


if you want the elements of this layer you must use
GiD_Info layers -entities elements Arcate
that return in your example 1 2 3 4

                  [GiDlist] Problem with calculate

Send by: Moh Boulfiza
On: Tue Sep 23 12:54:01 CEST 2008



Dear GID expert:

I am trying to write a windows.bat file for use with calculate inside 
GID, but I cannot get it to work. When I use the same DOS script 
manually (not using calculate from within GID) it works... but when I 
use it from within GID it does not work... So I am just wondering: are 
there any limitations with DOS scripts if used from within GID?

It seems like whenever I use the DOS command "Set /A", the script starts 
having problems!!!... I need to increment a variable in a cyclic 
analysis, and just do not know how to implement it so that it can work 
with the GID calculate option.

I need to implement something like:
   set /A count = 0
   :loop
   set /A count +=1
   ........ code
   goto loop:

P.S. I am suing Windows XP.

Your help and guidance would be greatly appreciated... Many Thanks in 
advance,
Moh

The  /A new modifier of the set DOS command is not valid for our command.exe 
(command.exe is used by GiD as .bat interpreter if exists instead the Windows cmd.exe or command.com)

Read GiD help to know our valid syntax  (Customization->executing an external program->Commands accepted by the GiD command.exe)
http://www.gidhome.com/support_team/gid_toc/gid145.html#CUSTOMIZATION>Executing%20an%20external%20program>Commands%20accepted%20by%20the%20GiD%20command.exe


To do sophisticated thinks, you can do it using  Tcl syntax, this scripting language is much more powerful that the DOS commands
if you write the word "tcl" inside a .bat, then  after this keyword GiD expect that the rest of commands are in tcl syntax

You can have a .bat file with something like this:

rem    OutputFile: %2\%1.log
rem    ErrorFile: %2\%1.err

tcl
#now this is tcl syntax instead DOS

proc mytest { } {
   #next line is to get the command line arguments %1 %2 %3 from the tcl variable ::argv
   foreach "- - basename dir problemtypedir -" $::argv break
   set count 0
   set maxcount 10
  while ( $count < $maxcount ) {  
      #... code
      incr count
  }
}

mytest


Of course you can use an standard .bat file (without any tcl), and invoke your own compiled program that do what you want

Dear GiD-Team,
is it possible to reduce the result-sets of a binary gid result file?
I would like to reduce the stored results from a 2d simulation to the
results of a group of nodes.
I would like to reduce also the stored physical quantities as well.
I am only interested in the nodal displacements. The stored stress,

We don't have any special tool to 'edit' binary post results files,
You can read it in GiD and then export again as ASCII file 
(Files->Export->Post information->ASCII files...)
then you can edit the results file with a simple text editor and delete 
unwanted results.
Finally if you want, you can read it in GiD and export it as binary.

                              [GiDlist] [GiDlist]Problem with creating a volume

Send by: MArtin Koske
On: Wed Oct 1 17:30:03 CEST 2008



hi,

i have a problem with creating a volume from a stl. file.
When i import the volume and create a surface mesh it looked very good.
But when i try to create a volume by contour this errors came:

line number 1 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 3 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 5 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 6 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 7 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 8 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 9 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 10 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 11 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 12 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 14 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 15 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 17 is 1 times into volume generation
line number 18 is 1 times into volume generation
Problem with lines: 1 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 14 15 17 18 

I don't know what to do with this problems. The model seems ok and i don't
understand where the problem is.
I attached the stl and the gid file. This is a very simple file, but i have
other with the same problems. And i hope when i can fix this problem, i am able
to solve the ohter ones.

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Wed Oct 1 20:56:01 CEST 2008



The surfaces are not topologically closing a volume, because some lines are 
duplicated

When I get a message like this, the first step I do is to show wich are the 
related lines showing its labels on
copy the list of line numbers 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 14 15 17 18
View->Label->Select->Lines
and paste the current selection whit <Cap><Insert> (I usually avoid to use 
<Ctrl><v> to avoid that the "Move" window will be opened)

You can see that some lines are duplicated, and the automatic tolerance of 
the collapse is too small to fix the size of the gaps of this model

I measured the distance between two points of some gap, and at least I must 
set a tolerance=0.001 to collapse them

Go to Utilities->Preferences - exchange: unset the "Automatic import 
tolerance value", and temporary set a value=0.001 and collapse agaion

After collapse whit this user tolerance I can create the volume and its mesh 
without any problem more.

Note: remember to set again an "Automatic" tolerance to avoid to collapse 
with a too big of too small value when importing or collapsing models

It's possible to run a batch without open any window with the -n option, but graphics features (like save pictures) won't be available with this option.

gid -b "batchfile" -n

It exists another -n2 option that open the GiD window, but minimized.

This seems a problem with the name of the temporary path,  probably because 
your user is working with a Japanese operating system and his username has 
Japanese characters.
When using filenames with japanese encoding (Non ASCII characters) then 
standard funcions to open files, etc will fail.

It this is the case, he can try some of this options:
a) - In theory this problem was solved in GiD several versions ago, update 
to the last available GiD version 9.0.2 (or at least the 8.2.0b, the last 
GiD 8.x beta version)
b) - Set the TMP environment variable pointing to some path with ASCII 
characters only, e.g. something like C:WindowsTemp
c) - Use an username with ASCII characters only (this can avoid him problems 
with other programs)

Hello to all!
I'm creating a problem type to study masonry, and I need to define each node of a surface meshed with quadrilateral elemens. I'm working with tcl procedures, but i saw that the coordinates in output have strange values. So I tried to output by bas commands and in this way the result is like I expected.
 
for example
 
Node X      5.99999999999          10.0      by tcl
Node X      6                             10         by bas
 
this is not a great problem, but for my studies i need nodes with the same coordinates
 
 
I'm using GiD x64 bit on Vista 64 bit OS.
 
if you want i can send the problem where i saw this difference

The format of the output  for real numbers is dependent of your settings:

Tcl:  the global Tcl variable tcl_precision (by default=17)
Bas: *realformat or *format bas command


Which is the GiD-Tcl command that are you using to get the node coordinates?

2300   9.00000   10.00000   4.33013
this one is the surface element

2282   5.75000   10.00000   1.29904
2293   10.00000   8.74145   4.02937

2166   7.00000   10.00000   3.46410
while this one is inner.
The shortest distance from the vertex to its opposite surface is 5.1167e-007,while the shortest length of edge is 3.5, longest is 5.20588.

I do not want this kind of element, so can you tell me how to get rid of them.

Hi Martin,

I don't know why, but your model is corrupted: the surfmesh 20 has a pointer 
to a boundary line with wrong value (it must point to the line 293)
You used GiD 7.7.6b, probably the bug that corrupted the model was fixed in 
more recent GiD version

I tried to begin again:
1 - I exported the mesh as GiD mesh, and imported again as surfmesh,
2 - I've collapsed the model to join gaps
3- I've seen that two surfaces (29 and 30) are unneeded to close a volume. I 
delete them and all remaining isolated lines an points
4- Then it's possible to create a volume and mesh it.

I attach my model.

Regards

Enrique

Hello,
I try to use the RamDebugger but it doesn't work.
I'm using GiD9 (64bit) for Linux which is Ubuntu 8.04. 
Starting the RamDebugger inside Gid (Data>Problem Type>Debugger...), the RamDebugger window opens. After setting a break point in the tcl-file, I start the procedure in GiD. However, Gid runs through the entire script without changing the focus to the RamDebugger. What do I have to change that it is working properly?

Thanks in advance.

                  [GiDlist] Problems rendering surfaces imported from Rhino in GiD 9

Send by: Enrique.Pascual at casa.eads.net
On: Mon Oct 27 16:41:01 CET 2008



When I import a model from Rhino in GiD 9 and I render it, no illuminated surface is presented and only edges of surfaces are displayed.
There is no problem when doing the same process with the same Rhino file in GiD 8.

Dear Enrique,

I'm Abel, from the GiD Team.

Please, can you provide me with the model (in the format which are you
reading it from GiD), so as we would be able to detect the possible bug?

You can send it to me directly (abelcs at cimne.upc.edu).

Kind regards,

								ABEL

                  [GiDlist] postprocess trouble

Send by: Abdou Sene
On: Sun Nov 2 15:02:02 CET 2008



Hello,

I am using Gid 9 on fedora 9 64bit.
Most of the time, the gid window is automatically closed 
when I click on the postprocess button. And the following message is displayed on the shell:

 /usr/bin/gid: line 50: 3391 Erreur de segmentation "$GIDEXE"/gid.exe $*

The number 3391 changes each time I retry. 

Here is enclosed the mesh and results I am using.

Best regards
Abdou

                  [GiDlist] GiD postprocessing

Send by: Samir Omerovic
On: Tue Nov 18 00:41:02 CET 2008



Hello GiD list,

I have a problem with GiD postprocessing. I want to display results, e.g. 
stresses, on different element types, e.g. triangles and quadrilaterlas. so 
the elements have a different gauss points set and my be some results are 
nodal and some other element based.
How can I manage this in the res-file? When I use the same name for Result I 
get a warning e.g. "Result 'Stress' repeated".

Hello Lucrecia,

This is a minor bug of GiD 9.0,2: the condition window is not filled with 
the values applied to the selected entity
Now it's corrected for the next GiD official and beta versions, they will be 
available soon.

Now, to fill the window with some entity applied values, you can also press 
the "Entities" button , then  a new window will show the list of entities 
with this condition and its values.
Select a row and press the "Transfer" button and the fields will be filled 
with this values.

Hi Mark,

I've tried on vista 64 and I'm able to delete a label created using 
utilities:dimension:create:text.
You should be able to select the text with utilities:dimension:delete. 
The mouse cursor should change to a double square, then you should be 
able to select the text label clicking on it. The text should turn red 
and then you have to press Escape in order to confirm the deleting.
Which step doesn't work?
Are you using Windows XP 32 or 64 version?

Thank you very much,

Hello Enrique,
I am new to GiD. I need to create a mesh for two halves of a ring where
each half should be meshed differently so the elements on the contact
surfaces do not match. So far I've got two layers: called "top" and
"bottom" with geometries. When I generate mesh for one layer, the other
layer is meshed too. How can I separate the meshing process?

If do you want not to share the nodes of both parts, must create duplicated 
(not shared) geometric entities.
e.g. if your half rings are two surfaces, then duplicate the "contact" lines 
to have each surface its own copy.
The tool  "Geometry->Edit->Uncollapse->Surfaces" can aid you to do it.

Hello,

im using GiD on opensuse11 64Bit. Is there a known issue that newer
Nvidia drivers (e.g. 177.80) case the working window to be displayed in
Black? I suppose it is still possible to create entities but the
workspace is just black.
This problem does not arise with older nvidia drivers and applies to
all gid versions i tied (9.02 & 8.20b).
The xorg log or kernel log feature no useful output and recently i
found the same problem on computers running windows in combination with
the NVIDIA driver 180.

I would appreciate any kind of help,

Hello,
Just a couple of days ago, another person told me about the same issue
regarding the new version of NVidia drivers (177,82) and Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit.

As far as we know GiD is not the only program with problems with this new
driver and XOrg. We are trying to overcome this 'black-square' problem, but
in the meantime, you can use gid in software mode with 'gidx', located in
the same directory were the 'gid' script is, for instance
/usr/local/gid/gidx

Thank you very much for your help.

Is this issue gonna be fixed in the future?

I have to point out that the "Gid safe mode" command has a  bug in the 64
bit version. In the script tk/pkgIndex.tcl "tk85tgid.dll" should be
substituted by "tk85txgid.dll".I fixed it and now it works. Anyway it would
be good to be able to use hardware acceleration.

Thanks again,

                                                      [GiDlist] Bug with newer NVIDIA Drivers?

Send by: Enrique Escolano
On: Fri Dec 12 21:29:01 CET 2008



You are right, the name of the dll is wrong in the tk/pkgIndex.tcl  of the winx64 GiD distribution.
We are fixing it for the next version

Thanks

  Thank you very much for your help.

  Is this issue gonna be fixed in the future?

  I have to point out that the "Gid safe mode" command has a  bug in the 64 bit version. In the script tk/pkgIndex.tcl "tk85tgid.dll" should be substituted by "tk85txgid.dll".I fixed it and now it works. Anyway it would be good to be able to use hardware acceleration.

  Thanks again,

On: Fri Dec 12 19:11:01 CET 2008



Hi all,

I'm trying to mesh a simple 1x1x1 cubic volume, with element type: Hexaedra.  GiD gives me the following message:

Volume number 1 can only be meshed with tetrahedral, and it has an other element type assigned.

Is it possible to mesh with hexahedrons?

Thank you,
J-P

You can mesh hexahedra only for structured meshes.

go to menu: Mesh->Structured->Volumes
select the volume, and then set the number of divisions (2 by default) on each three directions (select some line of this direction)
and generate the mesh again

Just add to Enrique's explanation that you can also obtain hexahedra meshes
using semi-structured meshes (structured in the prismatic direction of the
volume, and unstructured in the "tops"). You can assign this kind of mesh by
"Mesh->Semistructured->Volumes".

                  [GiDlist] post-processing for 2D problems

Send by: Lac Patrick
On: Tue Dec 16 14:19:01 CET 2008



Hello,
I am using GID 9.0.2 under Linux. I am experiencing a graphical problem 
in post-processing mode for 2D problems.
Below the two instructions used in my fortran program:

       CALL GID_BEGIN2DMATRESULT(Result,Analysis,freq,0,NULL,
  &    NULL,'S11','S22','S12')
        CALL GID_WRITE2DMATRIX(i,stn(1,i),stn(2,i),stn(3,i))

and the two result files:

MESH "mesh" dimension 2 ElemType Quadrilateral Nnode 8
# color 0.7 0.7 0.4
Coordinates
1 0 0.5
2 0 0.25
3 0 0
4 0.5 0.5
5 0.5 0
6 1 0.5
7 1 0.25
8 1 0
End Coordinates
Elements

End Elements

GiD Post Results File 1.0
Result "STRESSES" "STATIC" 1 Matrix OnNodes
ComponentNames "S11" "S22" "S12"

8 3.79366e+08 7.40064e+06 -4.16611e+07
End Values

The first problem is that the command Contour Fill - > STRESSES suggests 
showing S11,S22,S12,Sxy, Syz,Sxz,Si,Sii,Siii. For 2D problems 
S11,S22,S12,Si,Sii is sufficient.

The second problem is that there is no display when selecting S12.  The 
results  contained in the third  column of the .post.res file are 
displayed when selecting Sxy.

Best regards,

Hello,

It's an error that gid displays S11,S22,S12,Sxy, Syz,Sxz,Si,Sii,Siii, should
be S11,S22,Szz,S12, Syz,Sxz,Si,Sii,Siii. So to view your results you need to
select 'Sxy'. In the meantime, to display the components in gid as you want,
you can write 
ComponentNames "S11" "S22" "" "S12"
in the results file.

GiD handles all matrices (2D & 3D) as 3D matrices, and this is reflected in
the components menu of the matrix result. 
You're right that if you provide a 2d matrix it should only show the 2d
components. This will be taken into account for the next versions.

                  [GiDlist] RE: About rendering in "new" linux platforms

Send by: miguel
On: Wed Dec 17 13:17:01 CET 2008



Hello, we've been tracking the problem and it seems related to the latest
NVIDIA 64-bit driver 177.xx.
We are performing several tests trying to narrow and overcome the problem.
¿All your test were on 64-bit linuxes?

In the meantime you can start gid with the 'gidx' script, instead of 'gid'.
Gidx uses Software rendering (Mesa 3D) for the OpenGL part.

Thanks,
Miguel pasenau

                  [GiDlist] locate node

Send by: Tontavanich, Bituporn
On: Mon Dec 22 22:17:02 CET 2008



Hi Gid,

Is there any function in GiD to play with nodes when applying the boundary condition to a specific coordinate. For example, I need to locate the node which is close to the given coordinate.

I believe there must be such option but I just couldn't find it. Could you also indicate if I can find the answer in any part of GiD manual?

Thank you.

Now not exists this function to find the node close to a coordinate. 
We didn't add this feature because it could be too CPU expensive if it's used intensivelly

How do you want to use it: at user level? or from some Tcl code?
Do you need only the closest node/point or all nodes inside a ball of specified radius?

It's interesting to know well the common requirements, because we are thinking to implement it for next beta versions.

Regards

Well, say we have a 2D rectangular mesh and would like to select all nodes enclosed by a small rectangular region where we know the coordinate at the corner of the rectangle. Or we want to select all nodes that form a straight line between the two given end-coordinates of the line.

So in either case I will first need to locate the nodes close to the corner-coordinates of the rectangle or end-coordinates of the line. Then I may be able to use mouse to select all other nodes within that region.

This should be at the user level and not from some Tcl code. Can GiD highlight the node with a specific ID? Say, I want to know where node 10th is located in the mesh.

Please follow the link     ...

Now you can select an entity (e.g. a node) by its ID.
While selecting, the Join - NoJoin word change between select an old entity (by ID) or point a new coordinate (by x y ?Z?)
Can use <Control-a> to swap this mode.

You can also signal temporary to an entity o a coordinate with the menu Utilities->Signal , to know where is.

An also a trick is to select coplanar nodes while selecting with the command plane:a,b,c,d,r  (to filter the nodes that match |a*x+b*y+c*z+d|<r )
e.g. to select the horizontal nodes with y=0.5 with tolerance=1e-5 you must use 
plane:0,0.5,0,0,1e-5

The option that not exists nowadays is to get an ID of an entity from a coordinate, we are thinking to implement it at Tcl level, and provide some user easy acces from
some menu or macro (this tcl procedure can enable the creation of user macros for special selections, like aligned nodes, etc)

Hi
Graphs in post processing don't allow change of line style, I can only
get points no lines are ever drawn.
I cannot seem to get loading multiple results files to work in post
processing either, must all meshes be identical for all the results or
can one load pairs or .msh & .res files?
