Dear GiD team

Do you have any plans to extend the element types available for unstructured
meshes from just triangle (2D) and tets (3D) to be able to use for 3D,
prisms (6 node) pyramid (5 node) brick (8 node) (linear versions) in your
auto meshing routines?
I am finding triangle & tet only somewhat limiting when the FEA package I
use for the analysis has many more types available.
Regards
Mark

For future versions are planning to mesh prisms (structured in a direction,
as
a offset of surface triangles) to use specially in CFD analysis.

To mesh with bricks is of interest for some codes, but the hexahedra it is a
bad shape to fill unstructured a generic volume. (it could be in a long
term)

The pyramid elements in principle they seem of little interest.

We are also working in other less conventional mesh types, like for example
the
case of points or spheres for input of "meshless" codes.

Hi Miguel,

Did you receive my e-mails? I was waiting for your answer. I know there must be
problems with Gid on the Sun system. Is it easy to fix?

I'll use Gid to generate more than 10 million nodes for my 3D finite element
mesh. I was wondering how much memory it needs. I know this certainly cannot be
done on a PC. In our institute there is a 8 GB memory Sun system. But
unfortunately, I met some problems with Gid on the Sun as my previous e-mails
mentioned.

I contacted the coordinator in the San Diego Supercomputer Center and try to use
their computer. But I don't know whether Gid works on their system.

regards,
Shuo Ma

hello,
yes we've received your email,
we're working on it trying to find the problem,
we are using a sun from another department.

have you tried to use the version 6.1.3 for Sun?
did you get the same problem?
ftp://gid.cimne.com/pub/gid/Sun/gid6.1.3.tar.gz
you can still get a one month password for this version

Hello Miguel,

Is there any progress for Gid on the Sun system?

Recently I am trying to use Gid to mesh contact problems. But I don't know
how to write the condition and bas files for the contact condition. How do I
write bas file to get the node pairs on the contact surface in my
calculation file?

Regards,
Shuo Ma
