In order to exchange the data between any software and the corresponding modules is mandatory to use the input/output module (GiDML_IO), which provides the API functions to get and set the data from and to the corresponding GiDML modules. Any software willing to use some GiDML module must and include the corresponding header file (gidml_modulename.h) […]
SAFIR is a computer program that models the behavior of building and civil engineering structures subjected to fire. SAFIR runs thermal and mechanical analyses based on nonlinear finite element method. The structure can be made of a 3D skeleton of linear elements such as beams and columns, in conjunction with planar elements such as slabs

I2M is an acronym to name the plug-in “Image to Mesh”. With this plug-in we can import into GiD data in digital image format and generate the mesh directly from the image data. This plug-in is available from internet retrieve option since release GiD 13.1.4d. The current version is able to import one 2D image

The GiD+OpenSees Interface introduces a long-awaited graphical interface for the popular open source finite element software OpenSees by seamlessly connecting its text-only solver to the user-friendly general graphical pre/post processor GiD. It is available as an add-on (problemtype) for GiD and delivered as open source, under the GNU General Public License. The interface currently provides

You can visualize your model with shadows effect, both in preprocess and postprocess mode. This feature provides a better depth perception of the 3D model and a more realistic rendering. Change the light direction (View->Render->Change light direction) and see how the shadows move. This option is available in menu View->Advanced viewing settings. In the window
