Hi,

Up to the extent of GiD customization manual, the number of Gauss points
for triangle is limited to 6 (section 6.1.1). Let's presume I have more
Gauss points on triangle, which will be the order of Gauss point I have to
write to the results?

Maybe your x y z coordinates are outside the body?

When GiD ask for the points you can specify a new point coordinate, with the x y z
or change the mode with "Join" (e.g. with the key Ctrl-a) and then enter the number of an existent node or click it in screen.


Note: you can open the graphs window (menu: Window-View graphs...) to create, delete or select the graph options easily than directly from the "View results" menu

Subject: [GiDlist] puzzle in line graph


GiD Team,
After I select the line gragh command, I enter two endpoints of the line in the comand, but the line path is not a straight line.
The coordinates of the two endpoints I enter is as follows.
x1 y1 z1
Enter
x2 y2 z2
Enter
How to draw a field variable varying on a straight line defined by two endpoints?

For your 'gaussian' results, you can use the GiD 'Internal' definition of Gauss points (for triangles can use 1, 3 or 6 gauss points, with the location defined in the customization manual

Natural Coordinates: Internal

or also you can define your own locations

Natural Coordinates: Given

and then you must specify the location of these gauss points (local coordintes between 0.0 and 1.0 for triangles)

GaussPoints "my_triangle_3" ElemType Triangle "board"
Number Of Gauss Points: 3
Natural Coordinates: Given
0.2 0.2
0.6 0.2
0.2 0.6
End gausspoints

Note: with non-internal gauss point definitions, results will be showed painting 'coloured spheres' located in the gauss points location, instead a continuous contour fill
(because GiD won't be able to extrapolate the result from the gauss points locations to the element nodes)


I recommend you to write your results using GiD internal gauss points, or better using nodal results (to have a continous field between elements), by extrapolating your values to these locations.
