There are three ways to load the results simulation information into GiD:
- If there is a GiD model (a modelname.gid folder) and the results are also inside the GiD folder with the right nomenclature (e.g. modelname.post.res), then just load the GiD project and switch to postprocess mode.
- If only a mesh and results file(s) are present then GiD should be started, and switched to postprocess mode and then load the result or mesh file.
- You can also drag-and-drop the post-process file(s) into GiD.
For big models with lots of steps, there is an option to only read some of the steps:
For this tutorial we will use the file called Cylinder.bin that contains the postprocess information of mesh+result in a single binary file, so the steps to follow are:
- Start GiD
- Switch to postprocess mode: from the Files->Postprocess menu or the icon
- Open the model with: Files->Open, Ctrl-o or clicking on
