GiD - The personal pre and post processor

Create delaunay meshes

Menu: Geometry->Create delaunay meshes


This option allows the user to create delaunay meshes from the nodes of the postprocess model in three ways:

  • One for each visible mesh: creates separate delaunay meshes, one for each displayed mesh/set/cut
  • Single mesh for all visible meshes: creates a single delaunay mesh from the nodes of the displayed meshes/sets
  • Single mesh for all points: creates a single delaunay mesh from all the loaded points in postproces, belonging or not to an existing mesh/set.


After the delaunay mesh(es) creation GiD applies an alpha shape algorithm to delete detect holes and contours of the mesh, if possible.


Go to Preferences --> Postprocess --> Others and look for 'Delaunay: cull big elements factor'to filter out very big created elements. Others
