[GiDlist] Question about DOF's in GID

[Fabio I. Zyserman]

Hi all,

I am interested in:
define a volume.
mesh it.
assign DOF's to nodes and faces.
export the connectivity matrix in ascii format.

I am not sure if I can do this with GID.

I was able to define a volume and mesh it, but I don't know
how to tell Gid where and how many DOF's I'd like to set.
My problem is a geophysical one, and in 3D, for a thetraedron,
I need to set three dof's in each vertex, and 1 dof in each one of the
faces. How do I do this?

Many thanks in advance,

Fabio

Hello Fabio,

You must customize Gid by defining your own 'problemtype': a collection of
simple text files that define the kind of data
that you want to attach to the geometric and mesh entities, and a template
with the format that your program expect.

Don't be afraid a simple problemtype could be easy to do.

Read the chapter 9 of the GiD User Manual about how to create a simple
problemtype (cmas2d)
