Barcelona, Spain


back

OBJECTIVES

The objective of the meeting is to bring together users and developers of the GiD pre/post processing system and other people interested in mesh generation, computer data simulation and graphic visualization of numerical results in order to exchange experiences and views in this field.
The meeting is organized in a conference format to favour presentations and discussion on advances in the development and applications of GiD to different fields in engineering and science and identify future directions
for research and practice.
Sessions related to specific areas on GiD will be complemented by Keynote Lectures on targeted research topics in the field of pre and post processing given by international experts.

 

CONFERENCE TOPICS

Contributions are welcomed on any developments and applications of GiD. The following list gives an indication of the topics addressed in the conference:

  • CAD data connection
