Subject: RE: [GiDlist] Algorithm used in Smooth Contour Fill
Hi,
explained in GiD’s help and in :
http://www.gidhome.com/support_team/gidbeta/gid125.html#POSTPROCESS%20RESULTS>Smooth%20Contour%20Fill
http://www.gidhome.com/support_team/gidbeta/gid148.html#POSTPROCESS%20DATA%20FILES>Postprocess%20results%20format:%20ProjectName.post.res>Result%20block
1.- foreach element incident to a node, the gauss point results are extrapolated to the nodes. Then from the set of extrapolated values for that node,
GiD uses:
-
the minimum value if ‘Options–Contour–Smoothing type–minimum value’ is selected;
-
the maximum value if ‘Options–Contour–Smoothing type–maximum value’ is selected;
-
the mean value if ‘Options–Contour–Smoothing type–mean value’ is selected ( == sum(all values) / NumValues)
2.- When a stress matrix is read, GiD calculates the eigen vectors and eigen values of this matrix, then sort them according to the eigen values, being Si the biggest value and Siii the smallest one.

Asunto: [GiDlist] Algorithm used in Smooth Contour Fill
Hello:
Can you please help with following questions:
\
- What is algorithm used for Smooth Contour Fill?
\
- What are equations used for calculating Si, Sii, Siii from 6 components of Matrix type in post-processing?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Thanh
