To learn how to configure GiD for a particular type of analysis, you can:
follow the Problem Type Tutorial; this tutorial is included with the GiD package you've bought. You can also download the tutorial from the GiD web page. http://www.gidhome.com/support
read the online help in GiD (or the printed Reference Manual).
study and modify the Problem Type's included in GiD by default.
These Problem Types are:
- cmas2d: This is the problem type created in the tutorial, which finds the distance of each element relative to the center of masses of a two-dimensional surface. It uses the following files:
.cnd, .mat, .prb, .bas and .bat. There is a help file inside
directory cmas2d.gid called cmas2d.html
- rambshell: This is a problem type which performs the structural analysis of either beams or shells or a combination of both using the Finite Element Method. This problem type uses the latest features offered by GiD version 6. It uses the following files:
.cnd, .mat, .prb, .bas, .tcl, .geo, .sim, .unix.bat and .win.bat. The .exe file for Windows systems is also included in a limited version. It can also be executed for Linux with libc6 (glibc). For the full version without limitations check http://www.gidhome.com/ram-series.
- Dxfout: This is a very simple Problem Type which exports a
project_name.dat file in the dxf file format. It only has the .bas, .prb and .mat files.
- problem_type_solid1: This is the interface of what it could be a structure-calculating module. It contains the
.cnd, .mat, .prb, .sim, .bas and .bat files.
- problem_type_solid2: Same as problem_type_solid1 with a different interface.
- problem_type_thermo_mec: This is the interface of what it could be a thermo-mechanical module. It has programation in TCL-TK language. It uses the following files:
.cnd, .mat, .prb, .sim, .bas .bat and .tcl.
