Dear GiD support team,

I would be very thankful for some help to following problem:

We are developing a 3D eulerian FEM-code for plasticity problems. As you know, in an eulerian formulation the mesh keeps fixed and the material move trought the mesh.
In the picture (please see attachment) we see the material in red color and the void in blue color after deformation. The material builds a volume within the fixed mesh volumen. My wish is just to be able to show only the material and not the void (blue color) part of the mesh. Is it possible?

Thanks a lot in advance

Best regards
Rafael Doig

What you can do is to set the Minimum limit of the contour fill to 0.5, and
tell gid to draw everything below this minimum value as transparent.

to achieve this:
1. options-ContourFill-Min.options-set value set it to 0.5 (you can
also use the icon 'usermin' that appears on the postprocess icon bar)
2. options-ContourFill-Min.options-Out Min Color-Transparent

and that's it!

hope it helps

A big thanks Miguel for your good and quick answer. It helped a lot. However, as you can see in the new picture (see attachment) only the side-surfaces are drawn. What about the surface IN the mesh volume? Means, I would like to have the all the surfaces that close the volume of material.

I thank you again in advance for your kindly help

Dear Sir,

I have following tcl proc ( MytTestCreateMenu)to create new manu between Meshing and Calculate

and it is called xfinas or let say new_menu_name1 . now i want to add more new menues between above menu and after xfinas.

please explain me how to do it. let say, new_menu_name2=element_library

what i need is following nemus Meshing new_menu_name1new_menu_name2 Calculate



following tcl procedure will give only one new menu between meshing and calculate.
proc MytTestCreateMenu {new_menu_name1} {

Hello,

you have to combine several results view types: Contour Fill (to drawn the
volume with material) and Iso surfaces (to create the inner surface of the
volume).

you have to:

1. in the window 'Windows-Several results', under the label 'Results view:'
click 'one over another'.
2. the do a Contour fill with your results and options
3. then do a iso surface with your exact value:
a. View Results-Iso Surface-Exact-(your result)
b. it will ask you 'how manu isosurfaces?' you'll need only one.
c. the enter the exact value of your material: 0.5,
d. inside use 'Options-Iso surfaces-Display Style' and 'Options-Iso
surfaces-Render' to select your desired visualization for the isosurface.

and that's it!
enjoy it,
best regards

miguel

Hello Miguel,
thank you again for your support.

It works however only with displacement's iso-surfaces but not with gauss points centred data. Maybe because displacements are node values? You know, the filling rate is a scalar value attached to the gauss point (only one)

I send you the result file. I will appreciate any help more.
Thank you in advance.

yes you're right, isosurfaces only works for nodal values. the representation
for gauss points result is under development. i'll try to finish it for the

Asunto: [GiDlist] GiD 7.4.6 - Showing only the material part of an eulerian-code results



Dear GiD support team,

I would be very thankful for some help to following problem:

We are developing a 3D eulerian FEM-code for plasticity problems. As you know, in an eulerian formulation the mesh keeps fixed and the material move trought the mesh.
In the picture (please see attachment) we see the material in red color and the void in blue color after deformation. The material builds a volume within the fixed mesh volumen. My wish is just to be able to show only the material and not the void (blue color) part of the mesh. Is it possible?

Thanks a lot in advance

Best regards
Rafael Doig
