Hello,
it is no problem to import an IGES file in GiD using Files-Import-IGES
But when I try start GiD with “gid -b batchfile”
where batchfile contains the following two lines
Files IGESRead
./s_bauteil_6k.igs
no geometry will b imported. Does anybody know a reason for that behavior?
Your help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Alex
It can be that the file iges is not located, try to use the absolute path for the iges file in the batch file, for example
Files IGESRead
“C:/public/s_bauteil_6k.igs”
Also is possible that the file is correctly readed, but it is not centered in screen (in batch mode, some graphic operations, as redraws, are disabled)
After import, use the menu View-Zoom-Frame to center the piece in screen.
You can also start the batch file, with the flag +g to activate graphic operations: gid -b+g batchfile (see help, Invoking GiD)

Enrique,
Regarding your attached discussion of Menu manipulations, is there any documentation discussing the internal structure of GiD’s menus and which files are associated with which menus? In addition, is there documentation which describes how to perform manipulations such as you’ve recommended below? I would like to add the file type *.nid to the default list for Export-Calculation but have no idea where to begin.

Subject: Re: [GiDlist] Length of the fields in ProblemType
This code is tested and it works. Add a menu named “NewMenu” before “Calculate”,
and add a submenu calling a window to show the classical message “hello world”.
proc InitGIDProject { dir } {
MytTestCreateMenu “NewMenu”
InsertMenuOption “NewMenu” “Hello” 0 “WarnWin "Hello world!"” “PRE”
UpdateMenus
}
proc MytTestCreateMenu {new_menu_name} {
global MenuNames MenuEntries MenuCommands MenuAcceler
set last [llength $MenuNames]
set pos1 [expr $last-1]
set pos2 [expr $last-2]
set MenuNames [linsert $MenuNames $pos2 “$new_menu_name”]
set MenuEntries($last) $MenuEntries($pos1)
set MenuCommands($last) $MenuCommands($pos1)
set MenuAcceler($last) $MenuAcceler($pos1)
set MenuEntries($pos1) $MenuEntries($pos2)
set MenuCommands($pos1) $MenuCommands($pos2)
set MenuAcceler($pos1) $MenuAcceler($pos2)
set MenuEntries($pos2) [list “”]
set MenuCommands($pos2) [list “”]
set MenuAcceler($pos2) [list “”]
}
In general unrecommended the use of too large names or excesive mumber of fields
(for problems of limitation of some internal data, and for visualization pourposes)
The names of materials and conditions are internally limited to 300 characters,
and the number of fields of a material is limited to 100 in some old procedures.
The lenght of a field is unlimited, but if it is too large, cannot be showed inside a window.
Some internal limits (e.j. the limit of 100 fields for a material) can be removed for the
next GiD 7.1.1-beta version.
The aspect of a window can change from a computer to another one, because it does not have
fixed size, It is packed dynamically. The aesthetic change can be due to the use of a different font.

It not exist aditional information about the tcl code of GiD, but all tcl files
(located in the directory /scripts) are ascii files. Any user can read it to learn.
It is higthly unrecommended to modify this files (if update GiD are overwritten),
instead is best to change GiD with tcl scripts loaded with the problem type.
To learn to customize, see also the code of another good problemtypes, as RamSeries or Nastran.
The file GrDataMenus.tcl contain the standard values filling the arrays
of the menus ( MenuNames MenuEntries MenuCommands MenuAcceler)
The file tclfileP.tcl, contain the code to create the menus from the array (proc CreateTopMenus, etc)
The file dev_kit.tcl contain some procedures to facilitate the use to a problemtype developer
(as explained in help-Tcl-Tk extension-Managing menus)
To change the use of the menu Export-Calculation, see the value of the arrays to define this option (in GrDataMenus.tcl):
set MenuEntries(0,5) [list [_ IGES…] [_ DXF…] — [_ GiD mesh…] —
[_ Text data report…] [_ Ascii project…] [_ ON layers…] —
[_ Calculation file…] [_ Using Template .bas (only mesh)] ]
set MenuCommands(0,5) { {Files IgesWrite} {Files DXFWrite} “” {Files WriteMesh} “”
{Files WriteAscii} {Files SaveAsciiProj} {Files SaveLayer} “”
{Files WriteCalcFile} {-np- SetTemplatesMenu %W }}
set MenuAcceler(0,5) { “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “Control-x Control-c” “”}
You can change this values an call UpdateMenus
for example,
set MenuCommands(0,5) { {Files IgesWrite} {Files DXFWrite} “” {Files WriteMesh} “”
{Files WriteAscii} {Files SaveAsciiProj} {Files SaveLayer} “”
{-np- MyWriteCalc} {-np- SetTemplatesMenu %W }}
UpdateMenus
-np- is for not process MyWriteCalc as a .central.s process order, instead is a tcl order
You must define this new tcl procedure.
The common dialog to open a file used is the proc Browser-ramR (tclfileP.tcl)
(this procedure facilitate the use of tkFDialog, defined in tkfbox.tcl)
proc MyWriteCalc { } {
set ChooseType file
set OpenMode write
set w .gid
#parent witget
set title {Write nid file}
set DefaultFile {}
#set filetypes {{{Output nid data} {.nid}} {{All files} {.*}}}
#set defaultextension “”
set filetypes {{{Output nid data} {.nid}}}
set defaultextension “.nid”
set filename [Browser-ramR $ChooseType $OpenMode $w $title $DefaultFile $filetypes $defaultextension]
if { $filename != “” } {
.central.s process Files WriteCalcFile “$filename”
}
}

I’ not understand your questions, i do not know if my answers will answer their doubts.
You can use \n inside the help string to visualize this information in multiple lines.
for example:
HELP: Use this condition to prescribe the displacement of selected points.\nEvery marked flag will prescribe the movement for that degree of freedom.\nThe values fields permmit to set a prescribed displacement for that degree.\nUnits in International System for values are:\n\t (m) for the displacements.
The calculation file data (.dat file written with calculate) for GiD is only an output file, it cannot be reloaded by GiD.
If you modify this file externally with some ASCII editor, then you must run your code or the bat file externally, to use
this modified file as input. (pressing calculate your modified file is overwritten)

You got my point but what I mean it’s not the
OUTPUT of the comment in HELP: Yes we can use the \n
to skip the line for out put (visualization) but in
the file itself, I mean, we should write only one

It not exists a order as *\ in the files .cnd, .mat or *.prb,
It does not seem essential, since a line can be as long as it is desired.

Hi,
in formerly versions of GiD, the program was only able to process 1 GP per
Hex.
Perhaps this might be the cause. Try to use the actual version 7.1 of GiD
which can process 1 to 3 GP per dimension and Hex.
Best Regards,
Alex
