[ GiDlist ] Meshless Methode

[Miguel A. de Riera Pasenau]

The format to write the post process information on point elements
is explained in the reference manual, and also at

http://gid.cimne.upc.es/support

under the 'GiD on-line' manual, 'POSTPROCESS DATA FILES' section
( http://gid.cimne.upc.es/support/gid_16.html#SEC222 )

Once, the postprocess files are read,
using the 'point options' window, which can be found
in the 'options' menu, 'Geometry' submenu, 'point options' entry,
the quality and size of the points can be controled.

And the results can be viewed using 'Contour fill', 'Vectors', deformations, etc.

Hope it helps,

miguel

Oriented to the meshless methods of analysis:
On the one hand, GiD can generate in a volume a cloud of points,
(see Meshing-Elem type-Only points)
as well as a mesh of triangles in the contour to provide the normal ones.
On the other hand, it can graphically postprocess the results in these
points.

Hi,

in a representation paper about GID I read that GiD support the Meshless
Methode. But I cant find any information in the user manual?!

Hi,

thanks for reply.

The format to write the post process information on point elements
is explained in the reference manual.

Yes I found it. But I need the meshless feature for preprozessing. There is
a newer analysis methode than the finite elements methode called 'mesh free
methode' and for which the solver only needs points and a influence zone of
these points - not a node-elment-mesh.
This, I think, isnt supported by GID, or?
