[GiDlist] contact elements

[Enrique Escolano]

This is a bug, mesh generation of volume contacts fail with quadratic
tetrahedra.
(on the other hand, although it did not fail, would be only generated linear
prisms)

This error must be fixed inside the C++ code of GiD, is not possible to
solve from the tcl scripts .

Hi all,

is there any way to use contact PRISMA elements (I name them also
interface
elements) for quadratic tetrahedra?
When I try in GiD 6.3.0b or in GiD 7.0 , the program ends with an error.

The option works fine with the linear elements.

Is this a change that can be performed with the tcl scripts in the GiD
release?

Thank you and best regards
