I am reading in a triangular mesh (using mesh read) which has a material
number associated with each element. i.e. in the elements part of the mesh
file I have:
element number node1 node2 node3 material
The mesh imports OK but I cannot find a way of viewing the material ID of
each element. The reference manual suggests there is a way of forcing each
material number onto a unique layer but I cannot find a way of doing it.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Best regards

[ GiDlist ] Read mesh
In GiD Preprocess:
If you list a element, the material is set to the readed number.
If a problem type is loaded before read the mesh, you can show the materials
by colors (if load the problem type after, the materials are reset).
To send to a layer all the entities with a "material number", you can write
in the command line (or selecting in the right buttons, hidden by default):
escape escape escape View Layers Material "LayerName" "material number"
Note: This option is not directly available in the Layers Window.
In GiD Postprocess:
If you load the mesh in postprocess (with Files-Open "file-msh"), the
elements are separated in sets by material number.

[ GiDlist ] about contact elements
This type of contact is not node to node.
This is not created as a GiD contact, it is defined with a condition,
marking a surface/s as master and another as slave/s.

Hi;
I worked with contact elements with succecs, i create this elements very
easy
and fast with GID, but always between two similar surfaces. Today i was
visiting
GID web, and i can see in "gid in practice" a example about Analisys of
the
impact of two tubes, it is node to node too?, i am thinking it has
fricction,
with nonlinear (contact and large displazaments), so how is your contact
element?, node to node, node-surface?.
Thanks, Pablo

[ GiDlist ] about contact elements
The example does not use any kind of GiD's geometric contact it treat the
physical contact through GiD conditions assigned near the contact, the analysis
module should compute the actual contact.
In this example GiD does not know about the geometric contact, and the
condition could be applied to any type of elements.
