GiD forum

Hi,

I am trying to open GiD from the command line with a new project and want to specify the problem type that is loaded for the new project. As far as I see the -p option is responsible for that. However, I always get an error ("unknown command-> <name of problem type>" ) for whatever problem type I am choosing. I am using the command: "gid.exe -p Caltep test.gid". Working with GiD 12.0.10.
What am I doing wrong?

Greetings

You must specify to load a problemtype or an existing model, e.g. C:\temp\test.gid but not both, because the model also store internally in the .geo file the problemtype used, if any, and automatically loading the model the problemtype is loaded.

Another comment: the Caltep problemtype by default is not installed.
When an user try to load it from the menu Data->Problemtype->Caltep GiD ask to download it from our ftp repository.
