[ GiDlist ] Triangular prism mesh

[Enrique Escolano]

GiD cannot mesh prisms, only can created for volume contacts.
You can create two surfaces, and create a separated volume contact between
these surfaces.

then meshing creates prisms.
After, you can copy this prism elements to create more layers of prisms.

Note the conditions must be applied directly to the mesh,
and if you remesh the elements are deleted.

I' attach a file sampleprismas.batch with the orders to create a sample. You
can write each line in the command line manually, or read the batch file.
(It is created with GiD 6.1.2, some orders can have small changes for GiD
5).

I' attach also sampleprismas.zip, with the geometry and mesh in GiD format.

Best regards

Subject: [ GiDlist ] Triangular prism mesh


I am using GID-5. I'd like to mesh a parallelepiped with triangular
prisms so that all the prisms were
oriented along the z-axis. So I want it to be a layered structure with
the top, bottom, and intermidiate z-planes meshed with triangles, and
the side surfaces meshed with rectangles.
Is it possible to do?
Thanks.
