[GiDlist] Saving boundary conditions

Post by Jonas Forssell »

Hello,

Is there a way to save a boundary condition setup, similar to what is possible for materials?

Thanks

[GiDlist] Saving boundary conditions

Post by Enrique Escolano »

It has not sense to save a GiD condition in a database, because the contition field values are different for each
assignation to an entity. In other hand, a GiD material has usually constant values.

[GiDlist] Saving boundary conditions

The reason I am asking is because I have found that by
defining many parameters as conditions (although they
are things like elemement number of integration
points, parameters etc), I can define and assign all
the data I want to the model and get an excellent
output file.

You can see the thinking if you download the GID
preprocessor interface to my program from
http://impact.sourceforge.net

I dabbled with the Idea of using materials instead but
there can only be one material per element while there
can be several conditions per element.

The problem is that once I have defined a "condition"
and assigned it to an element, my settings get erased.

Thanks
/Jonas

It is possible to define a field #MAT# inside a condition or material. This
field point to a material name (it's automatically updated with the current
materials).

You can group some "shared" values of a condition in a GiD material, and
point it. This "special" materials can be locaded in another book.

Download the problemtype nastran2. It's a good sample using this #MAT# field
(some materials of a book named "PROPERTIES" point to materials of another
book named "MATERIAL")

Can download nastran2 from GiD (menu Data-Problemtype-Internet
Retrieve...)
or from this web page: http://www.compassis.com

Thanks Enrique,

Excellent workaround! I'll use that one from now on.

For the authors of GID, I'd like to propose saveable conditions as a possible future feature to an otherwise very nice software.

Thanks
/Jonas
