Then, how am I supposed to assign a material to an object in the
problem type Tochnog if there are only "group type" fields ? For instance,
how can I define something as made of nickel ? And what do the "group
types" mean ?

Thanks.

Each problem type, can customize the material or contition fields.
For example, a material in the problem type Tochnog only have a field named
group type.
The number of fields is fixed by the problem type, the user cannot change
this. Only assign a material to a point-line-surface or volume.

The tutorial "Defining a Problem Type", is to learn to customize GiD to use
for pre-postprocess of
a user code. To use directly for Tochnog or another problem type is not
necessary to learn
this customization, only must learn to use the program.
(see http://gid.cimne.upc.es/gidplus.index.htm for more codes with Gid
problem type)

Only if the use write your analysis code, then must create a owner problem
type files (as is detailed in the tutorial and in the GiD Reference Manual)

Hi Attila, it is resposability of the problem type builder to provide how
useful will that problem type be, GiD provide a wide "window" to interface
with the analysis but is the problem type who have to open it.

I've being trying tochnog problem type, and regarding materials it seems that
it only provide materials groups and the properties you are looking for are
implicit .

I guess you should surf inside http://tochnog.sourceforge.net/ what "grupe
type" imply
and/or contact the problem type builder if you don't find the expected feature

best regards
