What's new 17.1.3d

General:

• Handle proxy server for http connections (e.g. login).

• Fix rotation 'rare jumps'.

• Dimensions : corrected rendering for high resolution images.

Preprocess:

• Fixed several bugs and lot of internal re-factoring.

• New feature to collapse 3D points considered in 2D projection (to connect cloud of points of terrain with triangles by Delaunay).

• Shapefile import fixed some bugs in cases with measure data

Postprocess:

• Geometry / Edit / Extract boundaries : corrected element numbering when extracting boundaries.

• Corrected error when reading LsDyna files with quadratic elements.

Customization:

• New GiD_GetFlag <flag> Tcl command to get some start flags

• New optional <problemtype>.ini , used with flags -p and -c2 to use it as alternative to scritps/gidDefaults (e.g. to start with non-standard layout or settings)

• GiD_Info layers -bbox replaced by -bounding_box and now return pmin pmax swapped and without be a sublist item (in fact it is an objarray of 6 doubles)

• GiD_Info bounding_box ?-pmin_pmax? new optional flag to return the more usual syntax "pmin pmax"

• GiD_Layers get bounding_box <layer_name> geometry|mesh

• GiD_Sets get bounding_box <set_name>

• New Tcl package gid_bounding_box

• GiD_Info mesh -post and GiD_Result get_nodes with extra flag -deformed to return deformed coordinates of nodes, now by default the original coordinates are returned (previously always return the current deformed coordinates)

• objarray package v 1.19 new command objarray extract

• new GiD_OpenGL subcommands useful for high resolution captures ( which uses tile rendering = renders model several times with different views to get a global high resolution image):

  • GiD_OpenGL gid_draw -ortho --> sets correctly -ortho for each rendered tile

  • GiD_OpenGL gid_draw -viewport --> sets correctly -viewport for each rendered tile

  • GiD_OpenGL gid_draw -scissor --> sets correctly -scissor for each rendered tile

  • GiD_OpenGL gid_draw -rasterpos --> sets correctly -rasterpos for the global high resolution image

  • GiD_OpenGL gid_draw -linewidth --> similar to draw -linewidth but scaled line width for high resolution captures

  • GiD_OpenGL gid_draw -pointsize --> similar to draw -pointsize but scaled line width for high resolution captures

  • GiD_OpenGL get HighResolutionPrinting --> returns true if in the middle of a high resolution capture

  • GiD_OpenGL get HighResolutionScaleFactor --> returns the scale factor for line width’s, point sizes, font sizes, etc. between screen and high resolution

  • GiD_OpenGL get HighResolutionDimensions --> returns a list with the real width and high dimensions of the high resolution image being created

  • GiD_OpenGL get LastError → returns last generated glGetError();

  • GiD_OpenGL get LastErrorString → returns string of the last generated OpenGL error

• plugin meshio f3grid import try to fix wrong quadrilateral F Q4 and its normals.

• objarray_numpy pure python package to facilitate transfer arrays between Tcl and numpy.

• python.bat / python launch scripts in main GiD folder to be more visible.

• Fix bug GiD_Raster interpolate bad tolerance to reject points outside raster bounding box.
