GiD what's new : From v 11.1.6d to 11.1.7d


What's new from version 11.1.6d to 11.1.7d
General :

  • USB linux passwords : now passwords registered using USB memory sticks are recognized on Ubuntu 13.04 and Fedora 18 ( linux kernel >= 3.8).
  • Tk Img package incorporated in GiD. Other packages updated.
  • Multiple windows: corrected size distribution problem when multiple windows were enabled.
  • Batch mode: corrected some problems and issues when running GiD in this mode.
  • Selection lines by software ( emulate front buffer) : corrected problem when GiD window is very big on modest graphic cards or using GiD in 'safe mode', or gidx.
  • MS Windows 64: corrected problem with progress bar and results cache when reading files with size > 2GB.


Preprocessing :

  • Perspective: corrected normal render of geometry when model is using huge coordinates.
  • STL binary on Linux: corrected problem when reading binary STL's on Linux x64.
  • Conditions over groups: if name is present and not repeated, it's used, otherwise a new name is generated.


Postprocessing :

  • Result Surface: splitted into two result visualizations: Result Surface, for everything except lines, and Line Thickness, with new icon in the Results icon bar.
  • Result Surface: corrected drawing problem when using Result surface with gauss points results.
  • Line thickness: now thickness is correctly drawn as world absolute thickness, and not screen size fixed.
  • Legends: correct width calculation for high resolution prints.
  • Spheres: corrected zoom frame problem when reading only one sphere.
  • Polygonal cut: corrected problem when doing polygonal cuts on models with huge coordinates.
  • Integral graphs: drawing symbol over the original model to tell that there is a integral graph.
  • Iso-surface export: corrected problem when exporting iso-surfaces as cuts.
  • Iso-surfaces: corrected isosurface style problems, when it's bad defined --> set at least body visualization of isosurfaces.
  • Read/save state : now cuts converted to set are also saved and read between session.
  • Several Meshes: corrected problem with several meshes with different number of layers at each time step, when animation a deformation and a contour fill.
  • Graphs: Point evolution and point graph ( res1 vs. res2): do not include points with undefined results in graphs.


Customization :

  • New GiD-Tcl events:
    • proc AfterSaveAs { old_name new_name } { body... }
    • proc AfterChangeViewMode { mode } { body... }
    • proc AfterDeleteGroup { name } { body ... }
  • New GiD-Tcl command: GiD_Togl current|list
  • Retrieve Problem Type: corrected problems when cancelling download and suggesting platforms and version when current version on current platform is not found.
  • Calculation: corrected problem with fast calculations in Linux, which caused gid to lock.
