Dear all,

Is it possible to make a histogram of a certain result variable. For example, collect all stresses in the y-direction from a certain element group and make a histogram of it. Ofcourse, I see options to do it via other programs, but if it is already possible in GID itself, I would save some work.

Thanks!
Sebastiaan

The tool to draw this histogram doesn't exists, but it is possible to create a macro to do it inside GiD (or adding an specialized Tcl procededure to a problemtype)

For example there is now a macro in GiD postprocess to list the results you want of some selected entities
The current macro can be invoked from the macros toolbar button, and now you could use it to have the information you want as simple text (that you can copy)
and you can see the Tcl source code of this macro and do a similar one that show the resuls it your own way:
e.g. creating a x-y graph with the GiD-Tcl GiD_Graph command, or creating with Tcl/Tk your own special window drawing the graph in a Tk canvas
(or using the tklib\plotchart package that is a simple package that simplify draw a graph in a canvas, this package is also included in GiD scripts)

Hi,

I have a problem type with 5 different base files. After calculation,
all the base files are written to appropriate .dat files, except the
4th one (floslab-4-slab.bas) which turns the value 676. There are
certain texts as well as commands that none are shown. Is this due to
an error and stopping the process?

Best Regards,
Arash

I think that the bug is that your file is named 'FLOSLAB V12-4-slab.dat' instead as 'LOSLAB V12-4-slab.bas' and then is not considered as a template!!
and the dat output you are obtaining is related to FLOSLAB V12-v.bas that is only printing the amount of nodes with the condition X_Displacement_B.C applied (that probably in your example is 676)

Ech .bas will create a .dat, and the order of these .dat is based on the alphabetical ordenation of the .bas filenames.

Thank you very much,

It worked perfectly. How can I change the color of different elements
in both pre and post processing part? For example, right now, all of
my elements are green. Can I have the volumes and surface elements in
two different colors?

In preprocess, in 'normal render' element edges are drawn with a color that
can be set in Utilities-Preferences - graphical - Entities colour
and in flat or smooth render, elements are filled with its layer color,
that could be changed.

It is not possible to set the color by the element category: e.g. surfacic
or volumic elements

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I am meshing a 800*800 cm surface with
quadrilateral elements of 100*100, but I am not getting all of the
nodes at 100 cm intervals. Some are a little bit different in
coordinates, while I want them to be at exact 100 cm intervals
(because they should be coupled with hexahedran element nodes right
under them). Is there a setting for that?
This happens only for the surface meshing with quadrilateral elements
and the hexahedran mesh is exactly at 100 cm intervals. that is why
they don't match each other.

Best Regards,
Arash

Internal nodes of structured meshes are not placed in a simple way (e.g.
linear interpolation), then in general is not possible to have the exact
location you want. The algorihms are made for more general cases, with
curved shapes.

It is difficult say what to do without have the model.
The creation mode of the surface could affect the location of the
interpolated nodes (the parametrization of the surface and if it is trimmed
or untrimmed is important)
If the surface has 4 sides, you can force the creation of a untrimmed NURBS
using 'No try planar' in the contextual menu during the NURBS creation.

Do you really need this 'exact linear intepolation' location of nodes or do
you need a matching between quadrilaterals and hexahedra faces?
e.g. you can force a one-to-one relationship between nodes of two 'similar
sufaces' creating a 'contact volume between them
or what about sharing the same surface for the mesh of quadrilaterals and
the mesh of hexahedra?
