GiD forum

Dear all, I have already generated a 3d solid mesh using quadratic tetrahedral elements. I did extract the .txt file and imported directly into DIANA FEM software. However, it seems that the node order definition of each element [node1, node2, node3,...,node10] is not already compatible with the ord...

Thanks escolano,

I've found the index number for each material after defining problem very useful!

Dear all, I'm meshing a building model consisting of 4 different materials (i.e., masonry, marble, wood and R/C). I have imported a 3D solid model from AutoCAD with the materials (and consequently the elements of each material) properly set into 4 layers. Then, I'm meshing in GiD. Now, I'd like to e...

Thanks escolano,

I think it worked! I'm going for further analysis and hopes it runs right !

Many thanks for your assistance!

Dear escolano, I have thoroughly reviewed the model and followed the instructions as you kindly suggested. In a general sense, there is a big improvement in the connections of mostly all nodes-elements between the involved volumes. However, I've been struggling with the remaining disconnections, try...

Thanks a lot for your response and shared model!

I'll take a look to build the mesh following your recommendations and I hope it works fine at last!

Thanks a lot again!

Dear @escolano,

Thanks for your comment! I am not really sure what tool can I use to hare surfaces between both volumes. I attached you the file, so you can take a look.

I'd really appreciate if you can provide me some more clues to solve this mesh.

Thanks again!

Dear all, Here is my problem, I have one volume (composed by thin beam and column elements) partially embedded within another volume (a geometry of a building, certainly irregular). As I understand, both volumes are treated as "isolated" and have each one a corresponding layer. I imported ...
