GiD forum

Hello;

I would like import a mesh created in another mesher
and use in Gid with the same geometry to asign
properties.
I try to explain better;

I would like to try a diferent mesh in TDYN (it is
prismatic and tetrahedric elements), i created in
another mesher, so now i want to import to Gid, i
guess two methods, with gid format, or stl format, but
how gid get associate this mesh to my geometry??, or i
must put the conditions directly to the mesh using
layers??, or i would use background mesh command?

Advanced thanks
Pablo

It' not possible to import a mesh, and assign to geometric entities. In
fact, after generat a GiD mesh, mesh enties
does not mantain any link to their source geometric entities.
You must directly assign conditions over the mesh
(usually it's not easy, because you probably have a lot of elements)
Note: a "Background mesh" is an auxiliary mesh used to spatially assign mesh
sizes when remeshing.

If it's possible apply the conditions over GiD geometric entities, and
generate the mesh again with GiD.

Enrique Escolano
