Hello Andrea,
yes it is possible.
At first you have to disable the dialog box by using:
.central.s process Utilities variables UseMoreWindows 0
Then you create the cylinder by using
.central.s process Geometry create object cylinder Fnojoin $center $normvec
$radius $height
where $center center of the cylinder x,y,z
$normvec direction of the normal of the bottom surface x,y,z
$radius radius of the cylinder r
$height height of the cylinder h
Fnojoin forces GiD to create a new point. Therefore you have to
collapse your model if there has already been a point at this destination
By using
.central.s process Utilities variables UseMoreWindows 1
you switch dialog boxes on again.
Hope this answers your question
Best regards
Martin

Hello GiD team,
I was wondering if it is possible to create a geometrical
Object like a cylinder in Tcl (.central.s process geometry
create Object Cylinder), avoiding creating lines, surfaces and
volumes separately. I tried and GiD was complaining because
it would use a dialog window for user input.
Best regards
Andrea
