From v 11 to 11.1.0d

What's new from version 11 to 11.1.0d
Preprocessing:
Geometry:

- Conditions window: allow list values of applied conditions along all intervals.
- Creation of NURBS line as curve u or v constant on a NURBS surface.
- Creation of points specifying u and v on a parametric surface.

Mesh

- Octree volume mesher
- Draw grid on cartesian mesh.
- Variable AlignSemiStructuredNodes to force the semi-structured volumes to have the structured nodes aligned.

Postprocessing:

- new simplification mode for visualizing huge meshes. at the moment only geometric criteria is used. c.fill and display vectors can be drawn over this simplified mesh.
- Post state also saves cut between sessions.
- Faster vectors drawing in render mode, corrected " options -> vector-> draw all vectors " option
- more integrate vector options to appear in graph window
- Enabled quick internal texture drawing method with display style nodes and nodes+boundary now, selectable through Options --> Geometry --> point options
- Legends: same look for linux and ms windows.

Customization:

Condition with locals axes field #LA#, new kind of 'automatic main' #M# axes for surfaces using its main curvature directions if they can be defined.
Plugins: GDAL 1.1 allow convert raster file into Arc/Info grid ASCII file.
Problemtype Ansys, added function to import mesh of hexahedra from Ansys file.
dev_kit / GidUtils: new gidutils functions:
- GidUtils::TransformScreenToWorld { scr_x scr_y} # transforms screen coordinates to world coordinates
- GidUtils::PickWorldPoint { { WarnLineMsg ""}} # waits for the user to picka world point

Fixed bugs:
General:

- Fixed problem when taking JPG snapshots.
- Fixed bug: now 'gid -help' prints help in the linux console.
- Fixed bug with tooltips which caused to draw a very long single line.
- Fixed problem when taking snapshots with the 'take snapshot' icon

Preprocessing:
Geometry:

- Fixed bug in geometry from mesh option.
- Avoid error messages directly printed to stdout when trying to open a jpeg file (e.g. background image)
- Surface division: fixed bug that join close points of the surface

Mesh:

- Fixed bug in semi-structured volumes meshing.
- Fixed bug in RSurf unstructured surface mesher.
- Fixed bug in meshing advance bar.
- Fixed bug in unstructured quadrilateral mesher.
- Fixed normal orientation on faces of prisms for vertex buffer objects drawing method.
- Fixed several configurations where Tetgen crash.
- Fixed bug in cartesian mesher for non-uniform meshes

Postprocessing:

- Fixed bug when drawing transparencies in normal render, i.e. without illumination, which caused to draw the mesh too dark.
- Fixed bug when taking PNG snapshots of displayed vector results, also stresses and complex vectors, which caused to draw vectors and legends somewhat transparent, and looked too light.
- Corrected bug when results cache was activated and cuts were converted to full featured sets ( Do cuts --> convert cuts to sets), when interpolating the new results, the original were not retrieved from disk.
- Fixed problem with which the user could not abort reading multiple files.
- Fixed problem which caused gid to crash with vertex buffer objects and some complex visualization combinations.
- Fixed problem when exporting PLY: now the number of faces is checked to avoid writing empty ply files, only surface meshes and cuts converted to sets are exported.
- Fixed problem when exporting cuts: avoids writing of empty files.
- Fixed problem with graphs, which added '_' in names.
- Fixed bug when doing a contour fill which caused to change the 'Point' visualization style.
- Fixed problems with the thousand separator in numbers.
- Fixed problem then creating a Do cuts --> cut wire which could not be created when the 'draw interior elements' is disabled for a surface mesh.
- Fixed problem when selecting points for cuts, graphs, etc., on large dimensioned models.
- Fixed problem with which sometimes nodes could not be labeled.
  - Created meshes inherits settings from parent meshes in following operations:
  - separating connected components,
  - extracting boundaries,
  - joining sets or volumes,
  - dividing by selection,
  - ...
- Graphs: when doing several integrals, only the first message is displayed in a window, the rest is showed at the command line.
- Integrals: When doing integrals, values are no more displayed in a window.
- Stream lines & line size: ensure line size is not 0.0.
- Point visualization style: the Options --> Geometry --> point option 'internal texture' can also be used with this style to speed-up drawing with a nice look.
- Importing cut planes: import all cut planes by default, the user is no longer asked.
- Fixed problems reading automatically view when changing to postprocess.
- Fixed errors when changing line size drawing value.
- Fixed bug drawing graphs while the model was in perspective mode.
- Merging multiple files: corrected problem when merging parts of meshes when there are different meshes at different steps
- Smooth contour fill: only smooth nodal results for the meshes where the gauss points, and their results, are defined.
- Several Results + Contour Fills with Gauss Points results: corrected problem when doing several c.fill with different results on gauss points, which caused previous applied contour fills to be corrupted.

Customization:

- Fixed bugs in chinese messages catalog that crash GiD using this language.
- Units: fixed bug converting degrees Kelvin <-> celsius.
- Hdf5 package: fixed bug writing sets of strings without compression.
  - Plugins:
    1. EMA3D 1.1 import also ISOTROPIC BODY and NEW THIN WIRE entities.
    2. GDAL 1.1 allow convert raster file into Arc/Info grid ASCII file.
    3. Amelet 1.20 fixed bug exporting isolated nodes of cartesian mesh.
- Automatically update menus when special Tcl variable ::GidPriv(PostSpaceDimension) change.
- GiD_Mesh: refresh mesh to visually see changes in VBO and VA visualization modes.
- GiDCustomHelp find html help on the folder appropriated for the current language.
