Generating the mesh by default

In order to get the same results we will reset the mesh options.

• Open the preferences window selecting Utilities->Preferences.
• Select the Meshing branch, click on Default values and then Apply.
• Now select Mesh->Reset mesh data in order to ensure the geometry has no meshing property attached.
• Select Mesh->Generate mesh.
• A window comes up in which to enter the desired 2element size for the mesh to be generated. As default value could change from one version of GiD to another, insert 2 to get the same results as shown in images OK.
• A meshing process window comes up. Then another window appears with information about the mesh generated. Click View mesh to visualize the mesh.
• The result is the mesh in Figure. There are various surfaces and volumes. By default, mesh generation in GiD obtains unstructured meshes of triangles on surfaces and tetrahedra on volumes.
