Hi GiD team,
I'm trying to use GiD 7.5.5b but I'm experiencing some problems.
I've seen you reduced the dimension of some tk windows, but, for
example, the box for matricial properties is now so small that I see
only half of the first row.

I think the triangular mesh on surfaces has been changed, and
now with a structured mesh one gets the quads divided in 4 sub-
triangles, instead of 2, which keeps better symmetries. With my
problemtype GiD often crashes on it (I mesh only surfaces around
volumes). I tried to debug it, but I don’t know where to look.
Strangely the problem seems to occur only when I use the
following command in Tcl:
Meshing Generate $ProblemTypePriv(genesize)
in the routine MeschingCriteria I copied from another problemtype.
(the value of $ProblemTypePriv(genesize) is fine).

No problem with previous versions.

I have also a request for post processing: would it be possible not
to shrink the tree of different results every time the user "applies"
a different result?

Thanks

Andrea Calaon

Hello Andrea.
About your comments of the 7.5.5b GiD beta version:

1 - I've seen you reduced the dimension of some tk windows, but, for example, the box for matricial properties is now so small that I see only half of the first row.

This is because we updated GiD to use the last available Tcl/Tk 8.4.9 version.
It's a unexpected secondary effect ot the new Tk with this "matricial property" (only in Windows).
We changed our scripts in order to avoid this problem.

It is available a GiD 7.5.6b version with this correction

2 - I think the triangular mesh on surfaces has been changed, and now with a structured mesh one gets the quads divided in 4 sub- triangles, instead of 2, which keeps better symmetries. With my problemtype GiD often crashes on it (I mesh only surfaces around volumes). I tried to debug it, but I don't know where to look. Strangely the problem seems to occur only when I use the following command in Tcl:
Meshing Generate $ProblemTypePriv(genesize)
in the routine MeschingCriteria I copied from another problemtype.
(the value of $ProblemTypePriv(genesize) is fine).
No problem with previous versions.

Yes, now exists a variable SymmetricalStructuredTriangles , with possible values: 1 to create four triangles , or 0 to create two triangles.
There is detected and corrected some bug on this code, specially for the quadratic case. Next version will include this corrections.


3 - I have also a request for post processing: would it be possible not to shrink the tree of different results every time the user "applies" a different result?

We anotate this suggestion to enhance the results window.

Regards

Enrique
