From v 12.1.1d to 12.1.2d

• Themes upgrade: Upgrade classic and dark theme to be faster and cleaner.

• Ramdebugger and Lognoter: corrected problem which caused all menus to be opened when the application was launched, caused by the actualization of Tcl's tkdnd package.

• Mac OS X: at the moment XCode does not support OpenMP, so disabling the Number of threads preferences for Mac OS X.

• Mac OS X: corrected flickering problem that appeared on some Mac computers.

• Mac OS X: using as computer name Mac's Preferences-->Sharing name, instead of networks name because it changes on every network.

• New button to open a file browser with the current model folder (Utilities->Status window)

• Preferences: rearranged some preferences, added also some postprocess preferences.

Preprocess:

• Groups: corrected problem when deleting surfaces with render meshes and applied conditions.

• Vectorial PS/EPS/PDF/SVG: corrected crash when creating snapshot and there was not postprocess model.

• Avoid error downloading problemtypes because a too short timeout

• Use Frozen Color: correct drawing of meshes in frozen layers, when use frozen color is enabled.

• Do not create boundary mesh of parts on frozen layers.

• Save/restore layer to use it the .prj file

• Fixed bug that crash GiD, specially on Linux, when creating render mesh (e.g. drawing materials by colors)

• Fixed but that crashes GiD when meshing structured prism elements in volumes.

• Fixed bug considering internal orientation of the surfaces of ContactVolumes.

• Meshing preferences reorganized in Preferences window.

• Fixed bug affecting to polylines and semi-structured volumes meshing. It made GiD crash.

Postprocess:

• Drawing preprocess layers: correct rendering of transparent layers and opaque layers, when also are transparent layers in post.

• Several meshes: corrected crash when sets are not present in all the time-steps of the analyses.

• Gauss points: corrected crash error when drawing gauss point results on cuts from volume/surface meshes when the results are only defined on one of them ( set).

• Extract boundaries: corrected error that assumed as originals points of the deformed mesh, thus making it impossible to return the model to its original state and to deform it again.

• Reset Contour fill options: corrected error which caused not all options to be reset.

• Graphs: corrected error when deleting graphs with spaces in their names.

• Vtk results import enhanced.

• New Reload Icon

   in postprocess:

reloads postprocess files (or changes to pre- and post- to reload them) and restores results visualization but for last step of analysis.

• View maintained when changed from pre- to post-process

• Result surface / Line thickness: corrected problem when animating Result surface or line thickness of smoothed results.

• Gauss Points: new pre-defined generic gauss point name: GP_ELEMENT_1 which defines 1 GP for all element types.

• Points and Spheres: sizes can be set from 0.0 upwards for the Internal Texture and Nice detail levels.

• Screen map textures: corrected problems when border of images crossed in the middle of the elements.

• Isosurfaces and ContourFill: correctly updated when changing time-step and both visualizations are done simultaneously.

• Result fill view:

  from macro to new result visualization option Result fill view which combines the visualization of an iso-surface and the contour fill of a result to create a volume filling result view, like the water with a free surface visualization or material flowing inside a mould.

Customization:

• Sphere/circle mesh plugin mechanism enhanced to apply boundary conditions and fixed some bugs

• Tcl objarray package v 1.2 new option clone and sub-option sort -unique

• GiD_AccessValue new suboptions -index to access to material by index instead of by name and -default to get the default initial value of a question

e.g. set default_value [GiD_AccessValue get -default gendata $question]

• New predefined procedures to be used as TKWIDGET field: GidUtils::TkwidgetText and GidUtils::TkwidgetEntry CONFIGURE {-<option> <value>}

• GiD_Info mesh nodes|elements new sub-option -avoid_frozen_layers to ignore entities on frozen layers
