NEW FEATURES - PREPROCESS
- New mesh renumber option. Setting the variable 'RenumberMethod' to 1, after generate a mesh,
the nodes are renumbered with a Reverse Cuthill-McKee algorithm.
(setting 0 the old renumber method is applied, and setting -1 the mesh is not renumbered).
For future versions new algoritms can be included.
- Add to dev_kit.tcl some procedures to select GiD coordinates or entities:
::GidUtils::GetCoordinates, ::GidUtils::PickEntities (useful for tcl-problemtype developers)
- Translation: Added to general prefences a language option. It's possible to add a new language
copying inside scripts\msgs the apropiate language catalog message file (es.msg, de.msg, etc.)
- Custom Render: The user can define new render styles, selecting the layer color to draw entities,
the visibility, width, etc. (menu View->Render->Customize...)
- Acis Import: updated to ACIS 7 format.
- Parasolid Import: updated to Parasolid 11 format.
- New Shapefile import (useful GIS format).
- Tcl/Tk: internal GiD interpreter updated to Tcl/Tk 8.4.1 version.
- Encryption functions.
- Backup: each GiD store your own backup, and ask the user to restore the model if GiD crash.
- Bas template: new commands *ElemsType, *ElemsTypeName, *SetFormatForceWidth, *SetFormatStandard, *nelem(OnlyPoints, *set elems(OnlyPoints).
- Tcl: it's possible cancel the calculation from the tcl-GiD event procedures 'BeforeWriteCalcFileGIDProject' or 'BeforeWriteCalcFileGIDProject' returns '-cancel-' (to check data input before calculate).
- Tcl: new tcl-GiD event procedures BeforeGenerateMesh and AfterGenerateMesh.
- Play sound general preference: to play a sound when some task is finished.
- General preference 'Shrink windows when selection' to resize some windows (layers, conditions...) when selecting to facilitate this selection.
- Procserver: get remote calculation server info (available groups,...).
- It's possible to set the number of a new volume or planar surface (useful for scripts automatization).
- Variable 'CalcWithoutMesh' to write the calculation file without mesh entities (for some special problemtypes).
- New specialized GiD-tcl commands to manage conditions, materials, local axes, mesh edit , etc (GiD_ModifyData, GiD_AssignData, GiD_CreateData, GiD_LocalAxes, GiD_IntervalData, GiD_Mesh ).
- New GiD-tcl command drawopengl to directly draw in GiD from tcl scripts.
- Import/export materials updated for book and special fields support, and accepted blank lines in material or condition file.
- Iges export: if the problemtype has model units, then write this units in the iges output file.
- GiD-tcl info command: new order info parametric line|surface to obtain coordinates, derivatives, etc.
- Nastran import: new GiD-tcl event procedures to process information in the problemtype.
- DXF export: try to export surfaces as 3Dface if possible or else an approximate polyface mesh.
- RecentFiles menu to access to the last models.
- Fast surface render for some simple cases.
- Edge collapse enhanced.
- New utilitis to mesh edit (smooth a selection and map nodes over geometry).
- Mesh from boundary command to generate tetrahedras from a triangle boundary.
- Move node utility enhanced, deleting collapsed nodes and elements.
