From v 10.1.9d to 10.2.0d

What's new from version 10.1.9d to 10.2.0d
General:

• Ttk themed windows (experimental 'Dark GiD theme' and 'Classic theme')

Preprocessing:

• New Delaunay volume mesher using Tetgen.
• Mesh from boundary: new option to fit or not the surface boundary, allowing refinement (now for Tetgen only)
• Improvement in the automatic detection of Master surface in semi-structured volumes.
• Improvement in final mesh quality in unstructured quadrilateral meshes.
• Improvements in semi-structured volume mesher.
• Labels + ATI cards: corrected bug displaying labels with the latest catalyst driver.

Postprocessing:

• New import of Vtk format mesh and results, implemented as an auxiliary plugin
• Result surface on Lines will draw them using the result as thickness, including 1gp results.
• Merge: corrected error when merging meshes with set number specified for each element.
• Isosurfaces: corrected wrong style which was sometimes set when reading files.
• Shadows + ATI cards + contour fill as texture: corrected bug which caused errors with this combination and which caused posterior visualization problems even when shadows where off.
• Shadows + nVidia / Intel cards + contour fill as texture and transparencies: corrected bug which caused visualization artifacts when the combination was used and c.fill had some transparent outer limits.
• Contour Fill / Contour ranges: option to display the range just under the cursor.
• Result surfaces: using this result visualization style on lines will draw lines with their thickness depending on the absolute value of the result. For nodal and 1 gauss point results.
• Animation Window: make gif options more evident to the user, so that they can be selected more easily.
• corrected error when merging and exporting ascii files.
• corrected problem when displaying animated vectors with multiple meshes after no results was selected.
• Edge colour: added new option to define the colour to be used to draw edges, instead of the default black colour ( Options --> Geometry --> Change edge colour...).
• PDF output: now outputs images in pdf format.
• PLY export: shown meshes can also be exported in the Polygon File Format, aka. Stanford Triangle Format. Ascii and binary. Nodal results of current selected step are also written in the PLY file as nodal properties.
• Statistical results: macro passed to Windows menu, which creates a statistical result: foreach node calculates the minimum, maximum, average or the standard deviation of all values, i.e. across all steps, of the selected result.

Customization:

• BeforeRunCalculation event: retuning cancel and an optional value the calculation is not started.
• GiD_Info parametric line Tcl command, new subcommand length_to_t to obtain the line length.
• Package vtk added to scripts.
