PRE-CONFERENCE COURSES ON GiD
Two courses describing basic and advanced features of GiD will be held on
February 19
simultaneously. The price of each course is 150
euros. |
|
- Basic
course: a beginner approach to GiD which shows how to create
a model, how to apply conditions, materials, meshing settings, launch
a simulation and postprocess, following an example.
- Advanced
course: which are the steps to adapt GiD to an analysis program,
defining conditions and conditions symbols, materials, intervals, specifying
the file format for the calculation program, output and error files.
Advanced integration by creating new windows, modifying menus. Parameters
to be considered when importing models from other CADs, when meshing
complicated models, postprocess lots of results, etc.

Basic course on GiD
This course is addresed
to the user that have little/no experience in using GiD.
The course is planned for February 19th 2001 and is expected to be six
hour long distributed in the following topics:

GiD
Introduction
|
Why is GiD considered as the universal pre and post-processor? In
this part are described the basic elements that define the GiD processing:
Geometry & Data = GiD processing . The data concepts: conditions,
materials, interval and general data are also introduced.
Finally an example is developed in its full extent.

Geometric
Modeling
|
In this topic are described the different geometric entities that GiD
can handle. The most important editor commands used to create and modify
the entities are covered as well as the importing and reparing options.
A few examples will be covered for both, creating a model inside GiD
and importing from CAD.

Mesh
generation
|
Several mesh generation methods used inside GiD are shown and how
it is possible to tune them up in order to fit the given meshing needs.
Type of elements, control of mesh sizes, etc.

Result
visualization
|
Describes some relevant aspects of the postprocessing step and the way to
load results from a numerical analysis into GiD . Structure of results:
analysis, steps, scalars, vectors, etc. Types of visualization: contours,
iso-surfaces, vectors, tensors, animations, etc. Configurable options. Overview
of result file format.

Basic
customization
|
This topic is about the basic ideas to interface with an external code.
Here an introduction is given to: creating a problem type, defining
data files, output template (.bas) and writting file results, all guided
through a simple example.
