Dear All,

I would like to come back to the coordinates of the direction of observation of the
geometry in GID.
Is the 7.2 version take into account this possibility ?

In my electromagnetic problem, the user could find easily the direction of propagation
of a wave.

Thanks again for you response and please receive my best wishes for the 2003 new year !
May all your (and mine too!) GID projects born this year !!

Thank you for the response.

I have seen that the m matrix can be useful to obtain the 3D coordinates of the
observation vector.
I think this information could be useful to easily find an orientation vector of an
object especially
to give the good orientation of a symbol that could be use for a calculation.
In my problem, I put a symbol on my object (not yet on the mesh!). This symbolizes a
directive antenna
I wish to orient.
If you have an easy calculation to have the vector coordinates from m-matrix without
I calculate that, I will be happy.

Thanks again for you response.

P.S. Next contact in january !! Have a good Christmas.

Hi,

what is you idea?
no in a direct way. but, you can get the view parameters through the
'View-View-Save' menu option which writes an ASCII file the
real-world-3D-window limits, the rotation vector, the rotation matrix
and the center of the figure. we can find a way to make it possible and
usable for future versions, including the drawing of some simple 3D objects
from tcl.

Dear all,

I find the materials configuration file very powerful, but in some cases
(in my case in particular !) the name "material" is not well adapted.
Is it possible, in a problem type, to assign an other name, both in the
data menu and as the title of the materials window.

Thank you for your response

G.W.R.Geis

Dear Geis,

You can do the following in your InitGIDProject routine:

GidChangeDataLabel "Materials" "TheNameYouWant"

best regards,

It is possible:

In materials file (problemtype_name.mat) create a book (using
instruction BOOK: book_name)

In tcl file (problemtype_name.tcl) use the following commands:

Proc InitGIDProject {dir} {
.
.
.
GidChangeDataLabel "Materials" ""
#To delete materials entry in Data menu

GidAddUserDataOptions "book_name" "GidOpenMaterials book_name"
#To add new Data menu entry with name "book_name"
.
.
.
.
}
If you need more help, you can take a look to Nastran problem type like
an example.

Bye,

Aleix

A problem type can customize the labels used for "Conditions" , "Materials", "Problem Data" or "Interval Data"
using the tcl procedure GidChangeDataLabel

This is the header of this procedure:
proc GidChangeDataLabel { GidLabel NewLabel {Singular ""} }

GidLabel can be "Conditions" , "Materials", "Problem Data" or "Interval Data"
The third parameter is optional, to specify the singular word

After use this procedure, use the procedure UpdateMenus

for example to use the word "Properties" instead "Materials", use:

GidChangeDataLabel Materials Properties
UpdateMenus

You can restore a view previously saved in a file with view-Save...

To restore the view, use from tcl:
.central.s process escape escape escape escape View ReadView "filename"

Hello;
I am trying to modify the "parametric.tcl" file, so i wish to calculate the
lenght of parametric curve, like sum every segment(i), But i have troubles to
declarate the array, anybody can help me??
Advanced thanks;
i attached a pice of file to modify.

for { set i 0 } { $i $ParametricPriv(NumberPointsT) } { incr i} {
set t [expr $a+$i*$b]
set x [expr $fx]
set y [expr $fy]
set z [expr $fz]
.central.s process $x $y $z
#now i try to put the array
set xlenght(i) $x
set y1enght(i) $y
set z1enght(i) $z
}
# calculate lenght
set long 0

for { set i 1 } { $i $ParametricPriv(NumberPointsT) } { incr i} {
set j [expr $i-1]
set long[expr
sqrt(($xlenght(i)-$xlenght($j))*($xlenght(i)-$xlenght($j))+($ylenght(i)-$ylenght($j))*($ylenght(i)-$ylenght($j))+($zlenght(i)-$zlenght($j))*($zlenght(i)-$zlenght($j)))+$long]


}

Hi,



There are some errors in this expression: (in red) maybe problems come
from these errors instead of tcl arrays.



set xlength($i) $x
set y1ength($i) $y
set z1ength($i) $z



And:



set long _ [expr
sqrt(($xlength($i)-$xlength($j))*($xlength($i)-$xlength($j))+($ylength($
i)-$ylength($j))*($ylength($i)-$ylength($j))+($zlength($i)-$zlength($j))
*($zlength($i)-$zlength($j)))+$long]



To compress this expression you can use pow(x,y), in your case
pow((($xlength($i)-$xlength($j),2)
..

Look that length=lenght



But remember that if any variable will be use like an array never can be
use like string or list before. For example:



Set zlength “”

Set zlength(1) 3

It is and error.!!!!



Bye,



Aleix

As Aleix says, the error surely is because the bad use of xlenght(i) instead xlenght($i) ...

It is not necessary to store the coordinates, you can calculate the long value directly inside the first loop.

You can also ask GiD to obtain a more acurate length of some curve with a regexp of the result of:
.central.s info list_entities lines "line number"
or with
.central.s info listmassproperties lines "line number"
