About Problem Types |
When GiD is to be used for a particular type of analysis, it is necessary to predefine all the information required from the user and to define the way the final information is given to the solver module. The communication between GiD and the solver module is done with text files.
We call Problem Type to this this collection of files used to configure GiD for a particular type of analysis.
The files that configure a Problem Type are:
problem_type_name.gid
c:\a\b\c\GiD_directory\problemtypes
NOTE: In versions previous to 6.0 the
problemtypes
directory does not exist, so your problem type must reside in the GiD_directory
. In versions later to 6.0 it's recommended to put your problem type inside the problemtypes
directory.
