Hi everyone,
I cannot see volume mesh elements in GiD preprocessor. Is that normal? I can
only see the outer surfaces. I even tried with Mesh – View mesh boundary,
but it doesn’t seem to work.
Do you have any idea?

In ‘render flat’ or ‘smooth’ mode It is normal to see only the boundary (interior faces will be hidden by the boundary ones, and draw all is very expensive)
In ‘render normal’ we draw all edges (but you can set to view mesh boundary only)
In postprocess is possible to visualize this interior faces (but set transparency for some layer to see interior ones)
Why do you want to draw interior faces?
If do you want to have a look of the elements, you can delete some mesh part in preprocess, or you can do some cut in posprocess or separate some selection in different sets/layers

Hi Enrique,
thanks for your quick reply. I have two long curved tunnels and I need to
pick some nodes on the tunnel boundary all through its length. That is why I
would like to see the boundaries of each layer (obviously the tunnels are in
different layers than the surrounding soil). What I’ve come up so far is to
generate surface meshes as well, so that I can see the tunnel outer
elements, and then delete surface elements, taking care that element
renumbering doesn’t mess it all.
Let me know if you have any other ideas,
regards.

Maybe you can apply some condition over the geometric surface (defined over surfaces and to tranfer over nodes) where you want the nodes marked,
without require to generate the additional triangles (and generate a new mesh off course to have this condition transfered to the mesh)
Later it is also possible as user to select entities with a filter of this condition. e.g. to send this nodes to a different layer (see menu Utilities-Tools-Selection window…)
Why do you need to manually pick this nodes? (maybe you can automate your procedure)
