From v 13.1.7d to 13.1.8d

What's new from version 13.1.7d to 13.1.8d
Preprocess:

• Preliminary integration of Zmesher cartesian mesher (require additional password)
• Mesh render normal: corrected bug which caused that sometines some lines converged to a specific point. This lead sometimes to a crash.
• Fixed crash smoothing tetrahedra
• Move tool, fixed bug uncollapsing entities when selecting a part to be scaled
• Move: enhanced rotation on NURBS surfaces preserving its render mesh
• Fixed bug deleting a layer with back layer with entities
• Fixed bug exporting STEP models of volumes with holes

Postprocess:

• Contour Fill + VA/VBO: corrected crash when doing a Contour Fill in MS Windows and in Safe Mode with undefined results and using the VA/VBO drawing method due to unsupported functionality.
• Results Animation Window:
  • new option to do a static animation for a single fixed step (before it was present only for analyses with only one step),
  • now the Time length is respected, and will skip the visualization of some time-steps to respect the time length set by the user,
  • corrected a Tcl error when choosing a video file name and canceling several times.

Customization

• GiD_Thumbnail get_vectorial: (new format) GiD_Thumbnail get_vectorial obj --> returns a list with 3 elements:

the obj file contents ( refers to the 'ObjInMemory.mtl' material library file eventually)
(optional) the mtl file contents (i.e. the 'ObjInMemory.mtl', may refer to the 'ObjInMemory.png')
(optional) the texture data ( the ''ObjInMemory.png' binary data)

• SetViewParameter: new command to modify only one of the view parameters like:
  • • GiD_Process Mescape View SetViewParameter {m 16_rotation_matrix_values} escape or
    • GiD_Process Mescape View SetViewParameter {z near_plane_value far_plane_value} escape
• GiD_WriteCalculationFile allow write radius for sphere-elements
