Hi GiD team
I have results of a 3D stress analysis (quadratic tets) and want to be
able to compare the deformed meshes from 2 analysis to visualise how
much the surface moves between the 2 results, the original mesh for the
2 analysis are identical.
I have tried exporting the deformed mesh as a gid ascii mesh from the
postprocessor then importing it into the preprocessor but can find no
way of turning this into a surface only mesh i.e. throwing away all the
internal elements. I have done something similar in the past but with
surface meshes from a shell element analysis where I have been able to
export the surface mesh & re-import this as triangle element geometry.
So if I can find a way to convert this solid mesh into surface only mesh
I should be able to do what I want.
I have also tried importing both deformed meshes (add no share) into the
preprocessor but seem to be unable to import each to a different layer
to make visualisation easier?
Open multiple in the postprocessor doesn’t help either.
I have also tried using utilities list nodes to export the coordinates
of the nodes of interest but it will only list the first 100 entries?
Any suggestions most welcome.
Regards
mark
