PRE-CONFERENCE COURSES ON GiD
Two courses describing basic and advanced features of GiD will be hold
on February 17th.
The price of each course is 95
€ and 175
€ the two courses.
- Introductory
course: a 3 hours course for a first approach to GiD.
Content:
How to create a model, how to apply conditions, materials, meshing
settings.
Launch a simulation and postprocess, following an example.
- Advanced
course: a 3 hours course to explore the steps to adapt GiD to
an analysis program.
Content: How to create new customised
windows.
Modifying menus. Key parameters when importing models from other CADs.
Meshing complicated models, Postprocessing a variety of results.
The courses includes "hands on" tutorial on PC's in order to follow and apply
the different course topics. The presentation is in Spanish, but the
documentation is provided in Spanish or English.
In order to attend
this course, you must register and select the course from "order products".
(the registry form is the same as the GiD Conference one)

Introductory course on GiD
This course is addressed to the user that have little/no experience in using GiD.
The course is planned for February 17th 2004 and is expected to be tree
hour long distributed in the following topics:

GiD
Introduction
|
What's GiD? 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.
|
10:15
|
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 repairing options.
A few examples will be covered for both, creating a model inside GiD
and importing from CAD.
|
11:00
|
Data
application
|
It
is used the problemtype RamSeries ,a structural analysis code, to
show the main features to apply loads, boundary conditions, materials,
etc. Check the applied conditions, verify normals, etc.

11:40
|
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.
|
12:00
|
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.
|
12:45
|
Customization
basic concepts
|
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 writing file results, all guided
through a simple example.
|
| 13:00
|
Questions
|
A
time for the students to ask any question and review the basic course
concepts.
|
Advanced course on GiD
This course is addresed
to the GiD users that have experience in using GiD and specially
to the
"problem type" developers. The course
is planned for February 17th 2004 and is expected to be three hour long
distributed in the following topics:
