Special emphasis for users who are dedicated to analyze complex structures such as historic buildings. The GiD team with the collaboration of Francisco Muñoz Salinas, J. Miguel Meza and Fernando Peña Mondragon has released GiD Sap2000. Download from here.

SAP2000 interface: Problem type SAP2000.gid permit to define the model to analyze inside GiD and transfer the data to SAP2000, where the analysis is performed. The type of analysis that can be done is linear elastic. Resulst are converted back to be shown in GiD postprocess. Click here for download and installation instructions
SEMBA is a framework envisaged for simulations in the field of EMC. EMC problems have important challenges from a simulation point of view: results need to be obtained for large bandwidths or transient responses, usually involving extremely complex geometries. SEMBA contains the necessary tools to manage the whole simulation chain for an EMC problem. For
GiD can be used in full screen mode. In this mode the top menu and the toolbars are not showed and GiD fits with the size of your screen. Full screen is interesting when you are working with 3D stereoscopic view because you get a better immersion. This option can be activated both in preprocess and
A geometric representation is composed of four types of entities, namely points, lines, surfaces, and volumes. A layer is a grouping of entities. Defining layers in computer-aided design allows us to work collectively with all the entities in one layer. You can create a layer inside another one, this new layer is called “child” layer.

It’s possible to merge volumes without losing attached data. With this option two or more volumes connected by shared surfaces are joined in a single one. That option avoids deleting manually the shared surfaces and selecting the new boundary. Go to Geometry->Edit->Join->Volumes in the top menu and select all the volumes that you want to join.
Sometimes some surfaces are not well defined and we need it to clean them, this is only one click away with the Rebuild surface by boundary option. You can find this option in preprocess mode going to top menu Geometry->Edit->Rebuild surface by boundary After selecting some surfaces, each surface will be remplaced by a NURBS surface created

Try a GiD different look. User can choose between Classic and Black themes, which change drastically the GUI appearance. Open the Preferences window and go to Graphical->Appearance branch. There go to GiD Theme->Theme and select the desired theme. Click on Apply button to confirm. You will be asked to restart GiD, click Yes andGiD will start with the

GiD runs in parallel (shared memory) when meshing unstructured and structured volumes. Number of threads to use can be set in the preferences window. Just go from the top menu to Utilities->Preferences, select the General->Other branch and modify the Number of threads to use option.
