Thank you for your reply.

Actually, what I would like to do is to make a volume
which is obtained by cutting a pyramid with a sphere centered at a vertex
of the pyramid.
So the five sides of the volume are on planes but one is a spherical
surface.
I tried to use the copy tool but the rotation of a curve on the sphere
could not produce the full spherical surface..
Is there an easy way to construct that kind of volume?

Thank you,
Seungil.

You can create a perfect spherical surface by revolution with extrusion
(copy tool),

but you must know its revolution axis (two coordinates to define it), and
have some curve on the surface to be extruded (e.g. an arc)



If the ‘full surface’ doesn’t has the required lines as boundary, then you
can create a trimmed surface, trimming the ‘base surface’ with its boundary
lines.

*Asunto:* [GiDlist] how to create a surface on a sphere



Dear Sir,

I have four curves on a unit sphere.

When I used "Create NURBS surface" to create a surface bounded by the four
curves,
I expected a surface on a surface but it doesn't seem to be a part of
sphere..

Is it possible to create a spherical surface when the four bounding curves
are on a sphere?

Thanks,

Seungil.

I think that the easiest way is to create a volume of the pyramid, then
create a sphere centered at its vertex (Geometry-Create-Object-Sphere)

and then do a Boolean operation to have its intersection volume
(Geometry-Edit-Volume Boolean op-Intersection) and select both volumes.

I have a problem type which displayed OK in gid 7 and gid 9 but now the images wont display properly, Can I send the problem type to somebody rather than posting it ti the group?

I'm evaluating GiD 11 (used ver 7 & 9 for many years) where the type of geometry I will be dealing with is complex with multiple bodies created in solidworks. there will be many surfaces that overlay one another most likely only parts of the 2 surfaces are common, is there a way of pre-processing them in gid where features on each of the surfaces intersect both surfaces and leave only 1 common surface between 2 bodies. I could do this manually either in solidworks by splitting the surfaces or in GiD but would prefer an automatic method?

So that when I mesh I get a matching mesh at the common surfaces?

I use COMSOL and this recognises common faces with any detail on them being imposed on the common face with no duplicate surfaces, I’d like to be able to do the same in GiD if possible?

Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
Send me the problemtype to my email adress amelendo at cimne.upc.edu , I
will take a look to your images problem.

Regarding overlay surfaces, GiD have the option
Geometry-Edit-Collapse-Model within a tolerance.

Regards,
Adrià from GiDTeam

I misunderstood Mark 's surface problem
Here is an example (2 independent boxes):

Solution for easy geometries goes trough:
First: Geometry-Edit-Intersection-Surfaces, 1:end
And after: Geometry-Edit-Collapse-Model within a appropriate tolerance.
If this actions are commonly used, you can do a macro to execute
automatically all steps of this process:
http://www.gidhome.com/component/manual/referencemanual/general_aspects/utilities_menu/tools/macros

(easy geometries = intersection it's well defined)

Adrià
