[GiDlist] Smoothing & filtering during animating

Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2004 7:12 am

Hi,

I'm working on a problem where I'm animating a very large number of
solution steps during which the observer also moves depending on the
solution. I got this working by writing a batch file, but due to the large
domain and movement of the observer, I probably have to apply an
additional smoothing routine because the observers movement & solution
in general cause the animation to appear a bit "unstable" (i.e. it
oscillates to some extent). Since I
would
rather not act on the actual raw data I'm animating, what would be the
simplest way of doing over the timestep data smoothing ?

Appreciate any ideas,

Anssi Laukkanen

[GiDlist] general question on GiD's mesh generation...

Hi,

I have a question of more general nature regarding GiD's mesh generation of three dimensional objects. My impression is that initially, a surface mesh is created from which the volume mesh is built. If this is the case, what are the requirements/properties of the surface mesh (e.g. Delaunay)?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, before generate in GiD a volume mesh, are generated the boundary
elemens.
The used method is an advancing front, is not a delaunay alghoritm.
The nodes and elements are generated with some good shape and size
requierements
