Introduction
In order to carry out this example, start from the file
"ToMesh1.gid". This file contains a geometry that will be meshed using
four different methods, each method resulting in an increased number of elements
in certain zones.
NOTE: You can find ToMesh1.gid
at gid_directory/info/html-tutorials,
being gid_directory the
directory where GiD is installed.
Reading
the initial file
- In the Files menu, select Read. Select the file "ToMesh.gid"
and click Open.
- The geometry appears on the screen. It is a set of surfaces.
- Select Render
Flat lighting from
the mouse menu.
- Select Rotate
Trackball from
the mouse menu. (This tool is also available within the GiD Toolbox.) Make
several changes in the perspective so as to get a good idea of the geometry
of the object.
- Finally, return to the normal visualization Render
Normal. This mode is more user-friendly.
