What's new from version 13.1.9d to 13.1.10d
General:
- Preferences --> Fonts: added UI fonts (TclTk fonts) to be adjusted by the user.
- slide widget: corrected bindings, format and label width
- macOS USB: not USB are recognized by GiD on sierra (10.12) and high sierra (10.13).
- restart GiD: corrected problem that hinders GiD from restarting when in post-process mode.
Preprocess:
- New raster tools to extrapolate z mesh to a 2D grid (raster)
- Files->Import Shapefile: option to ignore z
- Files->Export:
Nodes->Raster (to convert and save as ARC/INFO grid ASCII format)
- Geometry->Create->Geometry from mesh:
Nodes->grid surfaces (to create a grid of surfaces from a cloud of 3D nodes)
Triangles->grid surfaces (to create a grid of surfaces from a cloud of 3D triangles)
- Geometry->Edit->Join->Lines: new tool to join 'near tangent' curves
- Mesh->Edit mesh:
Nodes->grid quadrilaterals (to create a grid of quadrilaterals from a cloud of 3D nodes)
Triangles->grid quadrilaterals (to create a grid of quadrilaterals from a cloud of 3D triangles)
Postprocess:
- Animate window:
- added option 'follow node' to have the view centered and foloowing a node selected by the user.
- single step animation, if there is only one vector, it deforms the mesh using this vector automatically.
- Stream lines: corrected the initial step calculation used to start the stream lines generation for some specific models.
- Selection: if a mesh is drawn using boundary style, now no element selection of that mesh is possible.
- several other bug and crash corrections.
Customization:
- New Tcl command GiD_Units edit|get magnitude_units|magnitudes|model_unit_length|system ?<value>?
- New Tcl command GiD_Raster to create 2D grid (raster) Tcl objects and interpolate values.
- New Tcl command GiD_Tools geometry classify_connected_parts <entity_type> <entity_ids> ?<forced_separator_ids>?
- package tls updated from 1.6 to 1.6.3 (secure sockets)
- objarray new suboption incr/scale to increment/scale only one item by its index, and OpenMP parallelization of some commands.
- objarray new reverse subcommand, and accept end and end-$i for its index
- GiD_Geometry -v2 : flag to use a better data syntax of get and create subcommands
- GiD_Geometry new subcommands index_boundaries|has_holes to know if a surface has holes and its index in the list of lines of the surface
- GiD_Geometry list: new filter -plane {a b c d r} to filter entities with center matching the plane equation a*x+b*y+c*z+d<=r
- GiD_Mesh new option list ?<filter_flags>? node|element ?<num>|<num_min:num_max>?
