[GiDlist] Gauss point data plotting

Post by Rabin Tuladhar »

Hello

I have stress and strain data at the gauss points and displacement data at the nodal points. I can get it read by the GID post processor. Displacements at the nodal points can be plotted correctly. However, I cannot plot the stress and strain data at the gauss points. It does seem to read the gauss points as it displays the maximum and minimum values of stress and strain in the command window. But it shows some weird contour range values. And it doesn't plot the stress strain data. My model is a 3D model, so the gauss points are inside the surface of the solid model. Is the color of the 3D solid model blocking the contour fill of the gauss point data? Because all I can see is the solid color of the elements.

It would be a great help if anybody can suggest me how to overcome this problem

with regards
Rabin

[GiDlist] Gauss point data plotting

Post by escolano »

First of all, check your GiD version. The last beta versions have a lot of features and corrections related to gauss point results that not exists in previous versions.
The last available beta version is the 7.7.2b. If you have an old version, update it from our web: http://www.gidhome.com/download/do07.subst

If the problems are not solved with this last version, send us a small sample (results and mesh file) to check if it's correct.
Note: can send this example, as a zip file, directly to escolano at cimne.upc.edu

Regards
Enrique Escolano
