Dear list members,

I've prepared a ".flavia.msh" and ".flavia.res" for a load step analysis
with beam elements and I can plot the deformed shape of the structure,
without problems.

What I would like to know is what are the steps to plot a graph load versus
displacement for a single degree of freedom of a node, by using GiD. Is it
possible to do that by using only the ".msh" and ".res" files, without
create an additional graph file for GiD?

Thanks in advance.

Can somenone tell me how to add loads in GID and to visualize these loads?

Kind regards,

Actually is available to plot a graph with time-result A, and another with
time-result B, using Graphs-Point Analysis,
but not result A-result B: using Graphs-Point Graph only is showed a point
for the current selected time, not all the curve.

It is a necessity that already we had detected, and shortly we will
implement it.

You can create the two graphs time-result A, time-result B, save to disk
(Files-Export Graph), and read it
for example with Microsoft Excel to plot the graph result A-result B
(or edit with an editor as Emacs to create the new graph file with columns
result A-result B
and reload in GiD with Files-Import-Graph).

GiD is a neutral pre-postprocessor, it can be coupled to any analysis code
(not necessary structural):
initially not exist any condition as load, etc or material.
It exist the concept of "Problem type": this is a collection of files
(copied inside the directory /problemtypes) to
easy define the conditions (loads...), materials, etc with the necessary
fields for the analysis code, a template
to describe the format of the input file for the analysis, the location of
this analysis program, etc.

To learn more about the problem type see Help-Customization Help
To learn GiD in general it exist some tutorials at
http://gid.cimne.com/support

If you not would create your own code, it exists a collection (named "GiD
Plus") of codes coupled to GiD
See http://gid.cimne.com/gidplus

Possibly you needs an structural analysis code: It is recommended RamSeries
(beams and shells coupled, or solid bodies)
