[GiDlist] MAXIMUM NUMBER OF NODES/ELEMENTS

[Maik Duwensee]

HI,

I am a (very basic) GiD user since version 5.0 and had recently the
chance to use the Number 7.?? version (test version from the webpage) .
I wanted to create a pretty big triangular mesh. The 'Progress in
meshing' window shows that all of the 80 surfaces I have to be meshed.
But suddenly GiD crashes without any warning whatsoever.
I tried different meshers and played around with the meshing options
(or preferences), with no success.

I am using GiD under WinXP Pro. (32bit)

My questions:
Is there a maximum model size for GID, e.g. a maximum number of nodes
that can be created?
What is the best way to get BIG (2-3 million nodes) meshes?

I would appreciate any help.

Attached please find the model that I was using.
All mesh criteria etc. should be defined. When starting the meshing
process, I have choosen 0.25 for the mesh size to use for surfaces
without definition.

Thanks a lot
Maik

Hi again,

I tried to get my mesh with the latest beta version 7.7.5b.
It seems that this version completely ignores the mesh size
definition that I set for certain surfaces although they are
displayed correctly in draw-mesh-sizes-surfaces.

Any solution out there,

thanks a lot
Maik
