[ GiDlist ] mesh copy - gauss points generation

Hello,

I read that GID support gauss points in the postprozessing step, but not in the preprozessing step. My solver needs the gauss points metric of a surface to calculate a deformation
analysis. Therefore it was fine, if GID would also generate the gauss points metric. But it seems that GID didn't do this, or?
Another problem I have is as follows: I calculate a deformation of a rotation symmetric cylinder. Therefore I have to calculate only a quarter of the cylinder and the output my solver
generate is the deformation of quarter cylinder. So I must copy using GID with the mirror option the quarter two times getting the result of the whole cylinder. But each copy produce
a separate material number in the mesh file, so that I have 4 material numbers instead of 1 I need.
Thanks for help!

I think, not.

Yes i would be a good idea to have a join meshes to join several meshes into one,
as it does with sets. Pherhaps in the next release of GiD . . .
