GiD is an effective and easy-to-use geometric user interface
- Completely menu-driven with an up-to-date graphical interface.
- Versatile visualisation tools including rendering, pan, zoom, dynamic
rotations etc.
- Associative data structures for updating the geometry database
whenever something is altered.
- Analysis data can also be read in STL, NASTRAN, or GiD format.
- Read CAD geometrical data can be read in DXF, VDA, or IGES formats.
Compatible with PARASOLID data.
- Complete set of tools for quick geometry definition and visualisation.
GiD has numerous mesh generation options
Structured meshes including as (linear and quadratic elements)
- 2D triangular and quadrilateral meshes
- 3D hexahedral meshes
Unstructured meshes can be automatically generated based on quality and spacing criteria defined by the user. These include:
- 2D triangular and quadrilateral meshes (linear and quadratic element)
- 3D linear tetrahedral meshes
- Mesh generation can be carried out after all data have been assigned to geometrical entities.
- Gid allows the generation of large meshes in a fast and efficient manner.
Visualization of Numerical Results
· Deformed shapes, Vector and contour plots, beam diagrams
and isosurface from static and dynamic analyses.
· Animated sequences
· Graphs of quantities along geometrical lines
· Particle line flow diagrams
· User-definable interface
· Import of neural FEMAP and TECPLOT results
· Customisable menus, etc.

GiD can read and write data in an infinite number of formats.
It can be easly interfaced to RTD and commercial codes.
GiD menu’s can be customized to the needs of any analysis code.
GiD is ideal to be used in a multi-user environment
in universities, research centers and enterprises for
development and applications of different numerical
simulation programs.
GiD customization
Universal: GiD is can generate all the information (structured
and unstructured meshes, boundary and loading conditions,
material types, visualisation of results etc.) required for the
analysis of any problem using numerical methods.Typical problems that can be successfully tackled with GiD include most
situations in solid
and structural
mechanics, fluid
dynamics, electromagnetics, heat
transfer, geomechanics, etc. using finite
element, finite volume, boundary element, finite difference or point-based
(meshless) numerical
User friendly: The development of GiD has been focused on the
needs of the user and on the simplicity, speed, effectiveness and accuracy he or she demands at input data preparation and results visualisation levels.
Adaptive: GiD is extremely easy to adapt to any in-house or commercial numerical simulation code.
GiD’s input and output formats can be customized by the user. The different menus can be tailored to fit any specific need. A deep integration
of any numerical simulation code with GiD is possible. The analysis
process can also be started and monitored from within GiD.
