From v 11.1.0d to 11.1.1d

What's new from version 11.1.0d to 11.1.1d
Preprocessing:

• Native groups.
• Dimensions: allow create a Radius dimension in mesh view setting three coordinates.
• Fixed some bug concerning semi-structured volumes when checking topological compatibilities before meshing.
• Layers window: is no more restricted to be opened in preprocess integrated in the main graphical window
• Octree volume mesher ready to be used from MeshFromBoundary option. Option to set a maximum angle to consider sharp edges (MaxAngleSharpEdges).
• Several bugs fixed in octree volume mesher.

Postprocessing:

• Iso-surfaces and Streams: corrected bug which reset iso+stream visualization styles when Geometry --> NoResult was selected.
• Iso-surfaces: transparency factor of monochrome iso-surfaces can be changed with Geometry --> Options --> Iso surfaces --> Change color.
• Display Style window: now the layers window can be opened when it's integrated in the main graphical window.
• Several results: corrected problem which caused color artifacts when drawing c.fill, vectors with color depending on the vector's modulus and several iso-surfaces with their own result's color.
• Iso-surfaces: corrected problem related to empty legend window when they were placed outside the main window.-
• Display matrix vectors ( stresses): corrected bug which caused to draw only the X component of the Si main stress vector in render normal mode. In render flat and render smooth modes, stress vectors were drawn correctly though.
• Labels: labels are drawn a little bit nicer and smarter, i.e., GiD tries to place labels in one of four positions, where the label is less occluded by the model.
• Spheres and circles: corrected bug when merging files with spheres or circles.
• Quadrilaterals and VertexArray and Vertex Buffer Objects: now quads are drawn as 4 triangles, as with Display List draw mode.

Customization:

• GiD-Tcl event proc AfterProcess { words is_rotation } , to able send GiD commands from a master to a slave
• GiD-Tcl commands:
  • GiD_Groups create|delete|edit|get|list|window|exists|draw|end_draw
    • edit rename|color|visible|allowed_types|parent <group> <value>
    • get color|visible|allowed_types|num_entities|num_conditions|id|parent <group>
  • GiD_EntitiesGroups assign|unassign|get <group> <over> <selection> or GiD_EntitiesGroups entity_groups <over> <entity_id>

(over: points|lines|surfaces|volumes|nodes|elements|faces|all_geometry|all_mesh)

• • GiD_Info conditions ovgroup, GiD_Info conditions $condname groupallow|condmeshtype|canrepeat
• .cnd file: Conditions 'over groups' and special field GROUPALLOW to restrict allowed categories of entities of the group: points lines surfaces volumes nodes elements faces
• New .bas template commands related to groups (see Dump.bas example template) :
  • *loop groups, *groupnum, *groupfullname, *groupname, *groupcolorrgb, *groupparentnum,
  • *set group *GroupName *nodes, *GroupNumEntities,*loop nodes *onlyingroup
  • *set group *GroupName *elems, *loop elems *onlyingroup
  • *set group *GroupName *faces, *loop faces *onlyingroup, *faceelemsnum:*faceindex
• New .bas template commands related to conditions over groups:
  • *loop conditions *groups, *loop groups *onlyincond, *groupnum *groupname
• GiDPost library + GiD: the GiD_FlushPostFile command ensures that the last result is flushed to the postprocess file so that GiD can read it completely and only complain about the incomplete file.

General:

• Labels: now labels are shown when they are selected and not after pressing the 'escape' key.
• Fixed some bug when using remote calculation.
• Calculate in Linux: now the line ending of the first line in the .unix.bat file is checked and issues an error if it looks like a ms windows one.
• PostScript ( ps, eps), pdf,svg: added gl2ps library, by C. Geuzaine, which
  • improved size of vectorial postscripts ( x4 in size reduction),
  • adds new output formats: svg ( scalable vector graphics), pdf ( portable document format).
• when generating vectorial images ( ps, pdf, pgf, svg) contour fills are drawn without textures, drawing method is changed to display lists and after the image is generated, their state is restores back.
• Vectorial prints ( ps, eps, svg, pdf): comments and legend are ensured to be drawn over the model.
• Drawing Zoom factor: now the zoom factor is shown just under the axes. Zoom frame set the zoom factor to 1x. When a project or a postprocess model is opened, the read view is also used as zoom factor 1x, but the next zoom frame will be zoom factor to 1x. The showing of the zoom factor can be disabled through the right menu option ( or command line commands) Utilities --> Variables --> ShowZoomFactor .
