OBJECTIVES

The objective of this second edition of the GiD Conference is to bring together users and developers of the GiD pre/post processing system in order to exchange ideas and experience on the generation of data for computer simulation and the graphic visualisation of numerical results.
Sessions related to specific areas related to 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

  • Interface with CAD data (IGES, VDA, DXF, etc.)
  • CAD data repair
  • Mesh generation
  • Point generation. Meshless methods.
  • Numerical methods (finite elements, finite volumes, finite differences, etc.)
  • Remote and grid computing
  • Interface of GiD with commercial codes (Nastran, Ansys)
  • Visualisation and animation of numerical results (streamlines, isosurfaces, vectors, beam diagrams, simple and combined results, etc.)
  • Examples of applications of GiD in science and engineering
    • GIS
