Geometric modeling

• Topologic relationship
• Entities:
  
  • Points.
  • Straight lines, arcs, NURBS and polylines.
  • Planar, Coon and NURBS surfaces.
  • Volumes
• Tools
• NURBS modeling
• Polygonal modeling
• Boolean Cut
• Boolean Intersect
• Boolean Subtract
• Boolean Union
• Construction objects
• Intersections
• Contacts
• Extrude
• Mirror
• SmoothMesh
• Deform
• Layers
• Fit Views to All
• Multiple views
  

Rendering

• Filled
• Flat lighting
• Smooth lighting

Importing geometry

• Formats:
  
  • IGES, DXF, VDA, PARASOLID, ACIS.
  • Batch files.
  • From mesh: NASTRAN, STL, GiD mesh.
  
  
• Problems that GiD solves:
  
  • Tolerance.
  • Entities conversion y topologic reconstruction.
  • Gaps.
  • Needs of correction filters

Exporting

• Geometry:
  
  • IGES
  • DXF (curves)
  
  
• Mesh:
  
  • GiD format
  • NASTRAN, ANSYS (.bas)
  • User defined mesh output (STL, VRML, DXF, etc.)

Calculating with a remote server

• You can extend GiD capabilities using ProcServer.
• ProcServer sends the the mesh created by GiD to a remote server, which calculates the results.
• ProcServer is totally integrated within GiD.
