[GiDlist] parametric model, modify geometry

Karsten_Quint · December 19, 2006, 5:46pm

Dear GiD-Users,

I am interested in creating a parametric model and assign variables to the
dimensions. So far I couldnt find any information on this in the manuals.
Is this possible in GiD?

What are the possibilities to modify the geometry? Do I have to move points
or is there some smarter way?

Regards,

Karsten

Sorry, but is in general it not possible with GiD.

For simple cases, you can write a Tcl procedure that use GiD commands to rebuilt your geometry
based on the parameter values (or write a batch file with the list of GiD commands)
