The default values are the same in windows as in Linux.
Could be the tolerances, but i don't belive it, because as you said that the
cylinder with 5e-4 height was created o.k. but not the one with height 5e-3 .
That is what is strange.
In a clean Windows XP SP2 actualized and with the german regional
configuration, i installed and started GiD, and tried the commands and worked,
both cylinders.
Althought the tolerance can be set at 'utilities-preferences-import', it does
not affect the creation of the cylinder.
Try deleting the gid preferences located in the gid.ini file inside a directory
like:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Program Data\GiD
(well the german translation of program data --- Programdaten?)

Asunto: [GiDlist] Re: Re: GiD Bug?
Hello,
i have checked the behaviour of GiD with the following Versions
GiD 7.4.3b
GiD 7.5.8b
on Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP2, both german versions.
Are there any variables that are set differently in the linux and the windows
version concerning tolerances.
Since the created structure is much thinner than the diameter of the cylinder,
there could be problems with point creation tolerances, that match points on
other points and therefore can not extrude the surface correctly.
But that's just a guess.
Do you have any other hints where to find the problem.
I've been testing this behaviour on four different machines.

Hello.
I tried your commands with GiD 7.5.8b for Windows (I use Windows 2000), and it
worked ok (I wrote your commands one by one in the command line)
What is your GiD version ? (see help-About) Try to download the related 7.5.8b
current last beta version.
Regards
Enrique

Subject: [GiDlist] GiD Bug?
Hello everybody,
can anybody confirm the behaviour of GiD while applying the following
commands:
utilities variables UseMoreWindows 0 escape escape utilities
variables CreateAlwaysNewPoint -2 escape escape geometry create
object cylinder nojoin 0,0,0 0.0,0.0,1.0 12.5e-3 5e-3
escape escape
*** GiD crashes and exits without any debug message
while
utilities variables UseMoreWindows 0 escape escape utilities
variables CreateAlwaysNewPoint -2 escape escape geometry create
object cylinder nojoin 0,0,0 0.0,0.0,1.0 12.5e-3 5e-4
escape escape
utilities variables CreateAlwaysNewPoint 0 escape escape utilities
variables UseMoreWindows 1 escape escape
produces a cylinder with the given properties.
System Information:
Windows XP Professional SP 2
Processor: Intel Centrino 1.4 GHz
RAM: 512 MB
Since this behaviour doesn't show up when using the linux version, it
must
be an os
specific behaviour.
Can anybody tell me the cause of this behaviour or is this a bug?
Thanks for your help
Regards Martin
