Importing a GiD file

GiD - The personal pre and post processor

Importing a GiD file

  • Choose Open from the Files menu. Select the file where the first part, created in section Creating a component part, was saved. Click Open.
  • Choose Files->Import->Insert GiD model from the menu. Select the file where the second part, created in section Creating the T junction, was saved. Click Open.
  • The T junction appears. Bear in mind that the lines which define the end of the first pipe (background) of the T junction, and which have been imported, were already present in the first file. Notice that the lines are duplicated. This overlapping will be remedied by collapsing the lines.
  • Check duplicated lines with the tool View->Higher entities->Lines

Importing the T junction file to the main file. Some entities are duplicated and must be collapsed.

  • Choose the option Geometry->Edit->Collapse->Lines. Select the overlapping lines and press ESC. It doesn't matter if do you select some other lines more, because they won't be collapsed with the small automatic tolerance.
