GiD forum

Hello:

I am trying to use a tag such as:

A HREF="MyDocument.pdf" TARGET="_blank"click here/A

in a html help file called by my tcl script as:

HelpWindow "TUTORIAL" $HelpFile


This does not seem to work. What's the trick to launch a PDF document from
a GiD HTML page?

Thanks.

Hello,

after reinstalling our GID-PC (now Kernel 2.4.20, Suse 8.2)
additonally with Open-GL Hardware encouragement,
it is not possible to run GID "over" the network anymore,
it always crashes with an error ("Segmentation fault").

Is it a problem with the graphic-card (it was NO problem before
the update (Kernel 2.4.18, Suse 8.0), when i don't use any specific
Nvidia-graphic driver)?

Thanks for help and comments and perhaps solutions,

Holger

Hi everbody,

I have a couple of questions about Arcline properties, as they are shown in
List Entities or printed in the output file:

1. In which direction and from what origin are the angles initang and
endang defined?

2. What is the point 2D center? If this is the center of the circle/arc it
is not correct!!

3. What does the transformation matrix transform?

I could not find the answers somewhere in the manuals or on the web page.
Maybe you could just tell me in which part of the manuals I can find the
explanations.

Thanks for your help

Malte

It is not possible to show a pdf document inside the html GiD help viewer.
But it is possible for next GiD versions to start Acrobat Reader to open the
pdf link.

At this moment, it is also possible to add a new menu to GiD to start
Acrobat Reader
to show the desired file, instead to open it with the html GiD help viewer.

An arc is first defined in 2D normalized space, with a center 2D, radious,
and start and end angle in radians

Px(t)=Cx+r*cos(t)
Py(t)=Cy+r*sin(t)
with t from start angle to end angle (radians)

This generate a 2D arc, and this arc is mapped to the final 3D location with
a transform matrix:
This is a 4x4 matrix, to include a rotation, a translation and a a scalate.
The 3x3 submatrix coefs are for the rotation
The 4º row (only 3 col terms) are the translation,
The 4º column is set 0, and can be ignored.
M(4,4) is the scale factor. (useful 1.0)

Hi,

Gid is statically compiled, with Mesa into it. That means
that is does software rendering, and do not use the
graphic acceleration.
At the beginning of May, together with the static version,
we released a dynamical linked version of GiD:

ftp://gid.cimne.upc.es/pub/gid_adds/Linux/gid_adds/Linux/gid7.3b-dyn.tar.gz

which, this one yes, uses the hardware acceleration of the graphical card.

By now, the Linux distributions comes with a 'sort' of accelerated driver for
the NVIDIA cards. This driver does not perform so well as de ones that NVIDIA
are distributing in their web page.

You are saying the that you are running GID "over" the network.
Where does GiD run?
are you running from a Silicon machine and displaying in your local Linux Box?
Then perhaps the problem lies in the 'GLX' capatibility of your machine.
On Silicon, GiD uses the SGI's OpenGL libraries.
It happens the same with any other OpenGL program from the Silicon box, that you
are displaying in your Linux box? Perhaps you should disable this 'GLX' capability
by commenting the ' Load "glx"' line in your module section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

GiD is compiled on a Slackware 8.0 Linux Box with 2.2.19 kernel and gcc version 2.95.3.

Hi GiD team and all

Can we do a Surface mesh flattening in GiD? or any
further development? In case I have a mesh from the
shell surface and want to flatten it in some parts how
we do a mapping from 3D to 2D? any ideas? or
suggestion, or information Please.

Regards.
