GiD forum

Hello, my problem type outputs a dat file which I use as input for an external solver. For a particular project, I was given a .dat file only but not the complete .gid file. I would like to know if it is possible to recreate the project using only the .dat file? I have the .bas that was used to create the .dat file but I do not have the .cnd, .geo,.lin,.msh, .prb or .rdr files....

No, the .dat calculation file contain only the information required by the solver to calculate it, and in its own format.
For example it doesn't not contain the geometry, only some data of the mesh, etc.
And this file could be only read by the solver, not by GiD.
