Hello,

In an hexa element is not easy of talking about clockwise sense
because this is a convention only valid for a plane. In 3D, it is
better of talking about the right hand rule. For this element, the
criteria is:

The normal of the face 1-2-3-4, using the right hand rule, will point
towards the interior of the element. The normal of the face 5-6-7-8 will
point towards outside the element.

Also, check the following:

Command: *ElemsConec can have as argument: swap
Command: *GlobalNodes can have as arguments: invert swap swapinvert

Also, All these commands can have an additional argument that is the
number
of order of the node.
For example, to print the 3th node of one element use:

*ElemsConec(3)

Regards,

Asunto: [ GiDlist ] Urgent: Connectivity for 20 noded brick element



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.

Help in answering the following questions is appreciated

1- In the Monochrome mode, the displacement vector shows in green color
which makes it difficult to print clearly. Is there any way to change the
color to black so that the arrows are printable.

2- When I use the zoom option the objects disappear and I had to minimize
and maximize the window in order to recover it again. Any advice

3- Is there any way to label the contour lines instead of the colored
legend.

Any advice is really appreciated

Regards

Hello Mr. M. A. Meguid,

1. For the 'Monochrome mode' vectors there is actually no possibility
to change the green color of the vectors. It is a valuable option
that will be available in the next version of GiD.

2. this is a strange behaviour of GiD. Can you elaborate on this?
By 'objects' do you mean the model? ¿ The 'objects' can also be recovered
if you use the 'redraw' option in the menu of the right mouse button,
instead of Minimizing/maximizing the window?
The same happens if the 'software OpenGL' option is choosen in
'GiD Safe Mode' entry in the 'Start-Programs-GiD(...)' Windows menu?

3. Not directly. One way will be to label one node that lies on the
countour line. An interesting option for the next release of GiD.

Mr. Miguel

Regarding my first previous message:
Yes, what I meant by the object is the model.
Redraw did not solve the problem. When I use zoom, the model disappear and
does not appear back until I minimize and maximize the window.

I did not understand what you wrote about OpenGL option and where can I find
it.

To deactivate the hardware OpenGL acceleration:
Start GiD in safe mode



And then select the use Software OpenGL option.

Dear Mr. Escolano

Thank you for your reply. I did started the program in safe mode and deactivated the hardware OpenGL acceleration but opened the problem is still there.

when I zoon into the model it disappears. and I had to minimize the window and maximize it again to see it. any other advice?

- Verify if Utilities-Preferences AutomaticRedraw is also cheked.

- Search also into the Windows Screen Configuration, If your graphic card have a special option to deactivate graphic acceleration.
- Try to download actuallized drivers in the web page of the graphic card manufacturer.

If the problem persist, send us information about the GiD version and the graphic card model.

Mr.Escolano

I downloaded the recent graphics card driver from the manufacturer website.
and now the zoom is working ok but another problem happened. when I open the GID the, the GID screen is full of color patches.
I tried to start from the safe mode and use OpenGl software but the problem is still there.

any advice to overcome this problem is appreciated

Dear Mr. Escolano

Thank you for your reply. I did started the program in safe mode and deactivated the hardware OpenGL acceleration but opened the problem is still there.

when I zoon into the model it disappears. and I had to minimize the window and maximize it again to see it. any other advice?

Regards

To deactivate the hardware OpenGL acceleration:
Start GiD in safe mode



And then select the use Software OpenGL option.

Mr. Miguel

Regarding my first previous message:
Yes, what I meant by the object is the model.
Redraw did not solve the problem. When I use zoom, the model disappear and
does not appear back until I minimize and maximize the window.

I did not understand what you wrote about OpenGL option and where can I find
it.

Hello Mr. M. A. Meguid,

1. For the 'Monochrome mode' vectors there is actually no possibility
to change the green color of the vectors. It is a valuable option
that will be available in the next version of GiD.

2. this is a strange behaviour of GiD. Can you elaborate on this?
By 'objects' do you mean the model? ¿ The 'objects' can also be recovered
if you use the 'redraw' option in the menu of the right mouse button,
instead of Minimizing/maximizing the window?
The same happens if the 'software OpenGL' option is choosen in
'GiD Safe Mode' entry in the 'Start-Programs-GiD(...)' Windows menu?

3. Not directly. One way will be to label one node that lies on the
countour line. An interesting option for the next release of GiD.

Help in answering the following questions is appreciated

1- In the Monochrome mode, the displacement vector shows in green color
which makes it difficult to print clearly. Is there any way to change
the
color to black so that the arrows are printable.

2- When I use the zoom option the objects disappear and I had to
minimize
and maximize the window in order to recover it again. Any advice

3- Is there any way to label the contour lines instead of the colored
legend.

Any advice is really appreciated

Regards
