GiD forum

One of the possibilities to do it is with the "Mesh Read" command:
"With this option it is possible to read a mesh in order to visualize it
within GiD.
It is also possible to read a new mesh and add it to the existent one. In
this case,
the user is prompted to keep the former one or join it to the new mesh."
So, you can create a mesh, save it and start a new project where you can
generate the other elements and add the old mesh.

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.

Thanks.
One more question.Is there any comprehensive tutorial
available on creating contacts.
I am trying to do a soil pile analysis.I represent the
pile with a linear element in a 3D soil mass.ie: a
line element within a cylindrical hole of the same
diameter as the actual pile in the soil mass.I couple
the displacements of pile nodes and soil nodes at the
same level.I attach a view of the model.Can I use
'contact' to couple pile node and the sorrounding soil
nodes.
