GiD - The personal pre and post processor

17.5.0d



What's new 17.5.0d


General:

  • New tool: View → View → Link external process… to link with other GiD process and move them from this master GiD, to visually compare models:

  • New tool: View->Explode…

view_explode.mp4

Pre-process:

  • DXF import enhanced.

  • Fixed bug intersecting curves that belong to Coons surfaces.

  • Selection with syntax plane:a,b,c,d,tolerance now based on centre, to allow all kind of entities, not only point or node.

  • Snap geometry to plane window (e.g. to force noisy entities near a symmetry plane or in topography to a z plane):

  • Unv export enhanced to write groups instead layers, and facilitate be read by OpenFoam converter (and fix some bug of UNV importer)

Post-process:

  • Create result window enhanced (more simple GUI, fixed bugs and proc CreateResult::Create to be invoked without GUI).

  • New Delete result window:

  • Fix bug exporting VTK result because time_step specified as string with 6 decimals was insufficient.

  • Fixed error in post-process when doing mirror / division / … which causes mesh elements preferences, like line width, stream-lines preferences, etc., to be reset.

  • Corrected error in post-process when mirroring nodal stress results.

  • Fixed a crash in post-process mirror when the results cache is enabled.

  • Internal refactoring replacing a in-house old class by std::string.

  • Fixed several bugs and crashes due to refactoring.

  • Added support for several simulation results inside same gid project. They should be inside the ‘Simulations’ Folder:

Note: this feature is hidden for GiD 18.0.x official, can reappear in developers...

Customization:

  • Added tcl3dogl package: an alternative to GiD_OpenGL draw allowing more OpenGL wrapped commands and better syntax

  • GidUtils::CreateMeshFromSet convert quadrilaterals degenerated (repeating a node) as triangles.

  • GiD_Result and GiD_Info Postprocess Get results_list: instead <step_value> double value is possible to specify “-index <step_index>” (index from 0).

  • GiD_Project set disable_draw_set ?<0|1>? to draw or not the model and draw a custom version.

  • GiD_Tools mesh classify_node_connected_parts ?<element_ids>

  • GiD_Tools mesh elements_mean_center ?<element_ids>?

  • GiD_Tools mesh elements_bounding_box ?<element_ids>?

  • GiD_Raster create {from_raster_cells_to_nodes <raster>} to create a new raster_nodes averaging the values on cell centers to the nodes

  • CustomLib tree allow use .svg vectorial images, and scale them with better quality

  • Updated all Tcl related packages to latest versions.

  • GiD and all packages ready to a future change of Tcl 8.6 by Tcl 9.
