...
- <num>|append: <num> is the identifier (integer > 0) for the node. You can use the word 'append' to set a new number automatically. The number of the created entity is returned as the result.
- <x y z> are the node coordinates. If the z coordinate is missing, it is set to z=0.0.
...
- <num>|append: <num> is the identifier (integer > 0) for the node. You can use the word 'append' to set a new number automatically. The number of the created entity is returned as the result.
- <elemtype>: must be one of "Point | Line | Triangle | Quadrilateral | Tetrahedra | Hexahedra | Prism | Pyramid | Sphere | Circle"
- <nnode> is the number of nodes an element has
- <N1 ... Nnnode> is a Tcl list with the element connectivities
- <radius> is the element radius, only for sphere and circle elements
- <nx> <ny> <nz> is the normal of the plane that contain the circle, must be specified for circle elements only
- <matname> is the optional element material name

GiD_Mesh edit element <num> <elemtype> <nnode> <N1 ... Nnnode> <radius> <nx> <ny> <nz> ?<matname>?
Same syntax as create
or
GiD_Mesh edit node|element <num> material|label_on|selected <value>
<num> the entity id
<material> to set the material number (value>=0)
<label_on> to set the label flat (value 0 or 1)
<selected> to set the selection flag (value 0 or 1)
...
- coordinates only the <x> <y> <z> coordinates are returned
- material: the material integer id is returned
- label_on: 0 or 1 is returned (label flag)
- selected: 0 or 1 is returned (selection flag)
...
- <num> is the identifier (integer > 0) for the element to be asked
- face optional, instead of the element nodes it returns the nodes of the face, first the linear corner nodes and then the quadratic nodes
- face_linear optional, instead of the element nodes it returns only the linear corner nodes, also is the element is quadratic
- num_faces returns the amount of faces of the element (for surface elements its edges act as faces)
- <face_id> is the local face index from 1 to the number of faces of the element. If <face_id> is missing then a list with all faces is returned
- edge_linear optional, instead of the element nodes it returns only the linear edge nodes, also is the element is quadratic
- num_edges returns the amount of edges of the element
- <edge_id> is the local edge index from 1 to the number of edges of the element. If <edge_id> is missing then a list with all edges is returned
- normal return a 3D vector with the normal direction for surface elements (and for line elements in 2D the normal to the tangent)
- tangent return a 3D vector with the tangent direction for line elements
- center return a 3D vector with the element center
- connectivities return a list of integers with the element's nodes
- geometry_source return a list where the first item is the category: POINT_LT|LINE_LT|SURFACE_LT|VOLUME_LT and then the integer ids of the geometric entity source of the mesh element (usually one entity, but could be more than one meshing with Rjump)
material: the material integer id is returned
label_on: 0 or 1 is returned (label flag)
selected: 0 or 1 is returned (selection flag)
...
- <face_nodes> is the list of integer ids of the face nodes {<face_node_1> ... <face_node_n>} (only corner lineal nodes must be specified in the list)
- if -ordered is specified then only faces with the same orientation of the nodes will be taken into account (else the order of the face nodes doesn't matter)
...
- <edge_nodes> is the list of integer ids of the edge nodes {<edge_node_1> <edge_node_2>} (only corner lineal nodes must be specified in the list)
...
- GiD_Mesh list ?<filter_flags>? node|element|face ?<num>|<num_min:num_max>?
<filter_flags> could be: ?-higherentity <num_higher>? ?-material <id_material>? ?-layer <layer_name>? ?-plane {a b c d r}? ?-element_type <types_allowed>?
-higherentity <num_higher> to filter the selection and list only the entities with the amount of parents equal to <num_higher> (integer >=0)
-material <id_material>to filter the selection and list only the entities with material id equal to <id_material> (integer >=0)
-layer <layer_name>to filter the selection and list only the entities with layer equal to <layer_name>
-plane <a b c d r> to list only the entities wigth center that match the plane equation a*x+b*y+c*z+d<=r (r>=0.0)
-element_type <types_allowed> to list only the elements of a type contained in <types_allowed>, that must be a list of allowed types ("Point | Line | Triangle | Quadrilateral | Tetrahedra | Hexahedra | Prism | Pyramid | Sphere | Circle")

The preprocess and postprocess meshes are different objects, and there are different commands for them.
