Hi,
How can I do to get an information about the ElemenType passing with
argument the element number using tcl routines?
thanks

You can use the “GiD_Info list_entities” command, e.g
GiD_Info list_entities -more elements $num
return something like this
“ELEMENTS
Num: 1 HigherEntity: 0 conditions: 0 material: 0
LAYER: Layer0
1 15793 16486 16720
Type=Triangle Nnode=3 Volume=5.66137e-007”
then you can find for example with a regexp the string after “Type=”
regexp {Type=([A-Za-z]+)} [GiD_Info list_entities -more elements $num] {} elemtype
Since the last beta version 9.1.0b you can also use the Tcl command “GiD_Mesh get”, that return the information more clean, as a tcl list. e.g.
GiD_Mesh get element $num
return something like “Layer0 Triangle 3 15793 16486 16720”
to get the element type (Triangle) use
set elemtype [lindex [GiD_Mesh get element $num] 1]

Thanks,
The function GiD_mesh works very fine and useful.
But now ,I have one mores question. Is there some tcl routine to obtain if
the mesh is structured or unstructured? This information is useful to speed
up my finite element code.
Thanks again

GiD_Info list_entities -more elements $num

then you can find for example with a regexp the string after “Type=”
regexp {Type=([A-Za-z]+)} [GiD_Info list_entities -more elements $num] {}
elemtype
Since the last beta version 9.1.0b you can also use the Tcl command

Gid nodes or elements not contain any flag storing how they were created (structured, unstructured, semi-structured)
The information is contained in the geometric source entities.
As you know you can apply a condition with a field #FUNC#(NumEntity) to know the number of geometric entity parent of each element,
Then you can use GiD_Info list_entities to ask for the geometry information,
e.g. to ask for the surface number 257
-np- WarnWinText [GiD_Info list_entities surfaces 257]
will return a string like this
NURBSURFACE
Num: 257 HigherEntity: 0 conditions: 0 material: 0
LAYER: Layer0
Meshing Info: (num=1,NOE=1) Elemtype=0 IsStructured=1 Meshing=Default size=0
NumLines: 5
Line: 742 Orientation: SAME1ST
Line: 730 Orientation: SAME1ST
…
and you can use a regexp command to filter the information that you want

This information is not relevant for you,
num is an internal number of the “meshing information” and NOE is the number of entities sharing this information.

Hi GiD team
Is there a tutorial or example of how to use the boundary layer feature in meshing for arbitrary 3D geometry for CFD problems?
How do you mix hexahedra and tet meshes? is there an automatic way of bridging between them with prism and pyramid elements as I seem unable to have some parts as structured mesh & other parts unstructured.
Are there any plans for full automatic hexahedral meshing?

Dear Mark,
By now there is no tutorial for the boundary layer meshing. However, it is
very simple to use: The only thing you have to do is select ‘Mesh-Boundary
layer-2D or 3D’, and select the entities. For 3d, for example, first of all
you have to select the volumes into which the boundary layer mesh has to
“grow”, and then the surfaces from which it should grow.
By the moment the 3d bundary layer meshes are only available for tetrahedra
volume meshes (no connection between hexas and tetras), and for linear
elements (not quadratic ones).
2D boundary layer mesher is available from the oficial version 9.0.x, and 3D
is only available from the 9.2.xb beta versions (all of them downladable
from the web site).
Kind regards,
ABEL
