GiD forum

Hi,
I want to learn something about the postprocess. I created an input file using
GID then I run this file in another solver. This solver gives the results in a
fixed format. When I want to import the result files into GID, do I need to
create a .tcl file or any alternative ways to import the result into GID? In
your example folder I found an example files about ANSYS and I think that
ansys.tcl file is used to define types of result and result file format

The usual way to work is create a bat file to run your solver automatically
in background
when the user press "Calculate"
Your solver must create the postprocess files with a fixed GiD format, and
with a specific name:
modelname.flavia.res (or modelname.flavia.post) for the results file,
and if required modelname.flavia.msh (this file only is required if the
mesh is not the same as the preprocess one)

When the user change to GiD postprocess, automatically are readed this
postprocess files, it's not needed to write any problemtype.tcl file for
this pourpose.

Can read GiD Help customization to learn this concepts

I read the document about the ansys and customization part of help. But i
have a still questions about the example in ansys, you read the post data
externally by using the ansys list option for this example. If we can directly
do it with .bat file why do we need to read the output data externally. And
also does this example work only for version 5.5.

Thank you.

Ansys is a "closed" code, and it not writes their results in the required
GiD format.
Then, with a small tcl procedure it's read the standard ansys output file,
and is written another file with GiD postprocess format.

The bat file is used to run ansys (and other possible auxiliry programs, for
example to transform the output file)

In other cases, the code developers can write directly in GiD postprocess
format, and then it's not necessary this translation.
Code developers can download from our web the 'gidpost' library. A library
to be linked from C/C++ or Fortran,
to write GiD posprocess ascii or binary compressed format.

In other hand, Ansys is not the best problemtype sample. The problemtype
Nastran as a good customization sample.
Can download this problemtype directly from GiD (menu
Data-Problemtype-Internet retrieve)

Hi Enrique & all

I know that the GiDPost library is used for
PostProcessing purpose. Actually I have read all over
but still confused with the process. What is an
advantage of using GiDPost over normal way of writing
the postprocessing by our own source code.

Best regards

And advantage is for analyis with a very big result file, instead to write
an ASCII file is possible to write a smaller compressed binary (also is
faster readed).
Al another advantage is to avoid errors writting the postprocess file,
specially for a binary format!!
And if the format is changed in a future, the library is updated by our
team, and the external developer only need to update an re-compile.

Enrique Escolano

Hi,

just a follow-up question about binary postprocess files:

If I use GiD on a Windows System and my calculation program runs on a Linux
or Unix System, is it possible to use binary postprocess files, or is the
format of the binary files machine dependent.

Thanks for your advice.

Malte

The binary format is platform independent, so the binary files created in
windows can ver read in linux, silicon, etc. And viceversa.

Hi miguel,

I have been searching the GID help files for description of how to use the
GiDPost library, since I'm using huge ASCII result file. However I found
nothing, could you please show me where i can find more information about it?
