Hi

Does, or are there plans for, GID to support active stereoscopic display?

TIA

Hello,

Well, at long term there are plans to add support for 3D viewing devices . .
but it is not one of our big priporities. By now, the 3d devices are not
asequible for the great publicum. besides institutions and big companies
there only quite a few users who have these kind of devices. personally
i didn't found anybody who uses it daily, only a few subscribers of the
Mesa3D mailing list.

What kind of 'stereoscopic' display are you thinking of?
And what is the objective? Working in real 3D handling geometry,
assigning conditions, viewwing results . . .

Hello,

I am trying to use Gid to generate a mesh for a 3D contact problem. Any node on
the contact surface needs to have two node numbers, each of which represents the
node on the different side (but they are in the same location). We call these
nodes "split nodes". Is there a way in Gid to generate two node numbers for
split nodes?

Thanks in advance,
Shuo Ma

You must create a "Contact volume" or a "Separate contact volume" (menu
Geometry-Create-Contact)
To create a Contact volume select two "identical" surfaces, located on the
same position (or with a rigid body
movement for Separate contact volume)

This "contact volume" is meshed with prismatic elements, and your
connectivities can used to identify node pairs.

The user can also select no mesh for the contact entity. This makes it
possible to have
exactly the same mesh in both both surfaces but without any additional
element.
