Hi GiD's Team,
I've started working with GiD as a postprocessor utility and I'm having
some problems when loading hexahedra type elements. Though the archive
seems to be formatted exactly the same as the one on GiD's Manual ('Mesh
Example' and 'Results Example'), it keeps setting an error message
"incorrect element number" pointing to the line where it lies on "End
Values".
I've tried two types of hexahedra elements (8-node and 20-node). The
20-node one has worked properly. The 8-node one hasn't.
Could anyone send me a simple example where hexahedra type elements are
loaded in post-processing operations?
Thanks.

Yourself can write a preprocess mesh in GiD ASCII format, with
Files-Export-GiD Mesh..

This is a mesh example with eight hexahedras of 8 nodes.
