From this new database, we will first generate points 1 and 2.
Next, we will create points 1 and 2. To do this, we will use an Auxiliary Window that will allow us to simply describe the points by entering coordinates. It is accessed by the following sequence: Utilities->Tools->Coordinates window
Then, from the Top Menu, select Geometry->Create->Point
In the coordinate window opened previously, enter the coordinates of point 1 in the "x", "y", "z" entries and click Apply or press Enter on the keyboard.
And create point 2 in the same way, introducing its coordinates in the Coordinates window.

NOTE: The size of an element with two nodes is the length of the element. For, surfaces or volumes, the size is the mean length of the edge of the element.
In this example, the size of the element is defined in concordance with the length of the line, chosen for this case as size 1. Click OK.
Once the mesh has been generated a window with the mesh information appears. Click View mesh.
Automatically GiD generates a mesh for the line. Pressing 'View mesh' the finite element mesh is presented on the screen.
