[GiDlist] meshing

[Mark Smith]

Enrique
Thanks for the tip but I still have a problem
I have the following as a .bas file which works OK when I have a line
between the points but when I delete the line it reports that
CondNumEntities(int) is zero ?

.bas file:
Number of Point charges
*Set Cond Point-charge *nodes
*set var numchg(int)=CondNumEntities(int)
*numchg
*#----------------------------------------
node value(Coulombs)
*Set Cond Point-charge *nodes
*loop nodes *OnlyInCond
*NodesNum *cond(1)
*end

Any thoughts?

Is there a way of setting the Utilities-Preferences: Meshing , and select
"Mesh Always by default" for
Points to be always on when the specific problem type is selected?

Thanks in advance
Mark

By default, isolated points are not meshed as nodes, but you can change this
setting with:

Utilities-Preferences: Meshing , and select "Mesh Always by default" for
Points

Note: The nodes are hidden by default, but can show their labels.
(or show written "escape escape View Entities Nodes" in the command line or
with the right buttons)

I have an electrostatics application where I have a surface & discrete
point
charges not on the surface.
I have found that the only way to write out both the surface mesh and the
points to a mesh file is to join the points to a dummy point with lines to
make them linear elements.
Is there a more elegant method to enable both surface elements & points to
be written to a mesh file?
Thanks in advance

Your problem type can change automatically this GiD variable from tcl with
.central.s process escape escape escape utilities variables ForceMeshEntities 1

It is recommended to restore the old value when the problemtype is unloaded. To ask GiD for the current value, use:
set oldvalue [.central.s info variables ForceMeshEntities]

But inother hand, you have reason. If only are generated the nodes, without elements, the conditions are not transferred automatically to the mesh. This bug is not corrected until a next beta version.
