GiD forum

I'm having difficulties importing results to GID (Version 6.1.2).
I do the calculations outside GID, in my own thin-shell routine.
I can import the mesh with no problem, but when importing the results using
the format found on the reference manual, GID doesn't recognizes the phrase
(in the project.flavia.res file):

Result "xxxx" "zzzz" 1 Vector OnGausspoints etc.

By skipping that phrase, I managed to overcome this and already can
represent and visualize the displacements on the nodes, but can't import the
stress's, that are calculated in the center of the elements. I need to
"tell" GID that the results are in a Gauss Point in the center of the
element. It accepts the definition off the gauss point set, but doesn't
assign the results to that set, because it doesn't reads this phrase.
There are also some minor bugs, but in this moment, this is the really
important part.
Really looking forward into buying the software. Already altered the output
of some programs to GID format (quite easy to do), but now it doesn't read
the stresses, witch are fundamental!!!

Thanks for you time

Thank you for your time.
I had already downloaded the reference manual and the user's guide and tried
to follow the examples but with no success.
I'll send you a small example I've been using to try to understand what I'm
doing wrong (p.flavia.res and p.flavia.msh).

I'm also sending a set of files that have what I'm really working on. The
first set (deslocamentos.flavia.res and deslocamentos.flavia.msh) have the
mesh of a very simple dam and the displacements given on the nodes. I can
import it with no problems in the format it's now using OPEN in the
POSTPROCESS.
The other set is the same mesh (jusante.flavia.msh) and the
jusante.flavia.res file that contains the Sxx, Syy and Sxy stress's in the
centre off the element. I can't visualize this in GID, as it doesn't
recognizes some of the instruction lines in the .res file that should tell
GID to read these values in a Gauss Point in the centre off the element.
I've separated these results (deslocamentos and jusante) that refer to the
same mesh in order to try to keep it simpler.

The mistake is probably something obvious and simple but I've looked at it
for so much time that I think I'm in a "no exit street"!!!

Thank you again for you time

Hi!

Received your files, but can't open/import the results.
I'll describe what I do:
1 - open GID (version 6.1.2)

2 - clik on POSTPROCESS

3 - go to FILES menu and click on OPEN

4 - select the file mesa.res or mesa.msh that are (alone) in directory
"mesa"

5 - I get a "info window" saying: "EOF too early: in this line: 2 - Reading
Results."
I close the window and can see the geometry of the table, but can't see any
results. The VIEW RESULTS window in the WINDOWS menu is all blank.

I tried reinstalling GID from the file I had but also with no sucess.
I'm sending the files I tried to send you last friday.

Thank you (again) for your time.

Hello Mr. Resende,

The first line of your '.res' file like this:

GiD Post Results File 1.0

? This header tells GiD to use the new results format.

In this header
Result "xxxx" "zzzz" 1 Vector OnGausspoints etc.
'OnGausspoints' should be 'OnGaussPoints', note the capital O, capital G and capital P.
After this word 'OnGaussPoints' have you entered the Gauss Points name?

For more information about this format have you checked the 'GiD on-line manual'
at 'http://gid.cimne.upc.es/support/index.html'. Especifically look here:

http://gid.cimne.upc.es/support/gid_16.html#SEC226

and

http://gid.cimne.upc.es/support/gid_16.html#SEC229

and the example:

http://gid.cimne.upc.es/support/gid_16.html#SEC230

Have you tried the latest beta we made available for download:

http://gid.cimne.upc.es/download/index.html under 'Download GiD beta versions'
or directly at 'http://gid.cimne.upc.es/download/do02beta.html'?

If after all this you still have the problem,
can you send me a little example ( .msh and .res)?

Hope it helps,

miguel

Attached to your mail i coulnd't find any example files, just a 'winmail.dat'.

I send you the examples 'mesa.msh' and 'mesa.res' described here
http://gid.cimne.upc.es/support/gid_16.html#SEC230

you can find them also at
ftp://gid.cimne.upc.es/pub/gid/Examples

Hi All
I need some clarification about the local node
numbering for 20 noded brick element connectivity.
As I see, the gid first list the conner nodes and
then the intermediate nodes of each side.Thats fine.
But the problem is it lists the nodes in the clockwise
sense whereas I want it in the anti clockwise sense.
(This change in direction of connectivity gives me
large errors)Is there any way I can ask the GID to
list the connectivity in anti clock wise sense.
(ie:starting from a node and proceding in the
anticlockwise direction

Iwould appreciate if some one can give me some insight
in to this problem.

in 3D not exist the concept of "clockwise sense"
The GiD numeration for the 20 nodes hexaedral is:

if the first face is the : 1-2-3-4, your normal vector is (1-2)X(2-3) (point
to interior)
then the opposite face 5-6-7-8 is located following this normal direction.

the 9 to 20 nodes are located in the middle of edges.

Note:
Comand *GlobalNodes can have as arguments: invert, swap and swapinvert
you can play with them.

If the default order of GiD does not fit your needs, also, it is possible to
use the command in this way:
*GlobalNodes(2)
And it will return the second node of the element.
