[GiDlist] cuts set and Gausspoints

[Rama Karve]

Hi,
I need to use the "do cuts" option in the post-process mode. The output
that I get from the solver is defined on the edges of the mesh. I tried
to visualize it using Gausspoints but if I get a message saying that
Gausspoints result cannot be seen on a cut. The only other option seems
to be OnNodes. But as I said earlier, the output I get is defined on
edges. Can you suggest a way around this?
Thanks,
Rama Karve.

Hi,
Perhaps i didn't understand your question very well.
Do you say that you have, for instance, a 2d mesh and results defined
on the border lines of the mesh and you want to do a cut of this mesh?
Then you'll only get two coloured points at both ends of the cut-line.

If we apply this to 3D, you'll get a cut-surface with results defined only
on the outter line-edge. Is that right?

If you are speaking about this last possibility the sdolution is to provide
the boundary-surface of the volume mesh with nodal results, and then do the cut.

Hi,
I guess my definition of an edge wasnt very clear. By edge I mean, the
results I get from the solver are defined between every two nodes (i.e.
on each linear element) of the entire mesh. Hence, the way I have it
right now, I cannot define results on a node.
I hope that makes more sense,
Thanks,
Rama Karve.
