What's new from version 12.1.1d to 12.1.2d
General:
- Themes upgrade : Upgrade classic and dark theme to be faster and cleaner.
- Ramdebugger and Lognoter: corrected problem which caused all menus to be opened when the application was launched, caused by the actualization of Tcl's tkdnd package.
- Mac OS X: at the moment XCode does not support OpenMP, so disabling the Number of threads preferences for Mac OS X.
- Mac OS X: corrected flickering problem that appeared on some Mac computers.
- Mac OS X: using as computer name Mac's Preferences-->Sharing name, instead of networks name because it changes on every network.
- New button to open a file browser with the current model folder (Utilities->Status window)
- Preferences: rearranged some preferences, added also some postprocess preferences.
Preprocess:
- Groups: corrected problem when deleting surfaces with render meshes and applied conditions.
- Vectorial PS/EPS/PDF/SVG: corrected crash when creating snapshot and there was not postprocess model.
- Avoid error downloading problemtypes because a too short timeout
- Use Frozen Color: correct drawing of meshes in frozen layers, when use frozen color is enabled.
- Do not create boundary mesh of parts on frozen layers.
- Save/restore layer to use it the .prj file
- Fixed bug that crash GiD, specially on Linux, when creating render mesh (e.g. drawing materials by colors)
- Fixed but that crashes GiD when meshing structured prism elements in volumes.
- Fixed bug considering internal orientation of the surfaces of ContactVolumes.
- Meshing preferences reorganized in Preferences window.
- Fixed bug affecting to polylines and semi-structured volumes meshing. It made GiD crash.
Postprocess:
- Drawing preprocess layers: correct rendering of transparent layers and opaque layers, when also are transparent layers in post.
- Several meshes: corrected crash when sets are not present in all the time-steps of the analyses.
- Gauss points: corrected crash error when drawing gauss point results on cuts from volume/surface meshes when the results are only defined on one of them ( set).
- Extract boundaries: corrected error that assumed as originals points of the deformed mesh, thus making it impossible to return the model to its original state and to deform it again.
- Reset Contour fill options: corrected error which caused not all options to be reset.
- Graphs: corrected error when deleting graphs with spaces in their names.
- Vtk results import enhanced.
- New Reload Icon in postprocess:
reloads postprocess files (or changes to pre- and post- to reload them) and restores results visualization but for last step of analysis.
- View maintained when changed from pre- to post-process
- Result surface / Line thickness: corrected problem when animating Result surface or line thickness of smoothed results.
- Gauss Points: new pre-defined generic gauss point name: GP_ELEMENT_1 which defines 1 GP for all element types.
- Points and Spheres: sizes can be set from 0.0 upwards for the Internal Texture and Nice detail levels.
- Screen map textures: corrected problems when border of images crossed in the middle of the elements.
- Isosurfaces and ContourFill: correctly updated when changing time-step and both visualizations are done simultaneously.
- Result fill view: from macro to new result visualization option Result fill view which combines the visualization of an iso-surface and the contour fill of a result to create a volume filling result view, like the water with a free surface visualization or material flowing inside a mould.
Customization:
- Sphere/circle mesh plugin mechanism enhanced to apply boundary conditions and fixed some bugs
- Tcl objarray package v 1.2 new option clone and sub-option sort -unique
- GiD_AccessValue new suboptions -index to access to material by index instead of by name and -default to get the default initial value of a question
e.g. set default_value [GiD_AccessValue get -default gendata $question]
- New predefined procedures to be used as TKWIDGET field: GidUtils::TkwidgetText and GidUtils::TkwidgetEntry CONFIGURE {-<option> <value>}
- GiD_Info mesh nodes|elements new sub-option -avoid_frozen_layers to ignore entities on frozen layers
