Yes, during the analysis you can completely modify your mesh. Indeed, in
this case you are forced to write the new element conectivities and node
numbers in the 'filename.flavia.msh', as well as use the new node list in
the 'filename.flavia.res'.
On the other hand, if you don't modify your mesh during the analysis, only
the 'filename.flavia.res' has to be created.

Asunto: [ GiDlist ] erosion of elements?


Hello,

Is it possible to delete elements within gid?? for erosion or fracture
problems.

I've created the initial mesh in gid format for the post processor to
read, under the name "filename.flavia.msh". This file reads in the number of
initial elements for the problem. If during the analysis some elements are
deleted is it possible to update the number of elements as the analysis is
running? Within the file named "filename.flavia.res".

Thanks in advance,
Matthew

Hello again,

I'm sorry but i did not understand your initial e-mail with the following problems:

1. If only 'filename.flavia.res' is used in the post-processor an error is returned asking for the *msh or *bon files.

2. Whilst updating the *.msh file during the analysis, do you overwrite the file during each output? And then output the *.res file straight afterwardws? Or do you contiuue adding to the *msh as the output is required.

3. Do you possess any examples on the Gid site showing how an erosion problem is dealt with?? I've looked but couldn't find anything.

Thanks again

Matthew

In GiD postprocess, actually the mesh is the same in all time steps.

In order to simulate the element erosion:

The analysis must create two files for result step: filestepi.flavia.msh and filestepi.flavia.res.
and then load in postprocess each result to visualize separatelly.

Another possibility is assign a too big value to nodes/elements to ignore in a result step, and then
visualize a resul, setting the upper limit with the maximun real value.

Best regards

Hi All
I wonder if it is possible to generate two type of
elements in the same model using GID.
ie: For example a quadratic brick element and a linear
line element.
I know we can generate different elements of the same
order(say only linear or only quadratic).Is it
possible to have both types together.Just curious to
know this.

GiD has not thought to create linear and quadratic elements simultaneously,
but indirectly can be generated. For example:

- Activates the MaintainOldMesh variable (Utilies Variable MaintainOldMesh
1) so that it is asked the user if the existing mesh is deleted when
remeshing.
- Generate one of the two meshes, for example the quadratic hexahedra.
- Set the volume to not generate mesh (MeshCriteria-NoMesh-Volumes)
- Set Meshing-QuadraticElements to Normal way.
- Mesh now the lines without destroying the hexahedral. (Cancelling old
mesh? Not).
