[GiDlist] quadratic triangles (tria 6)

Hi everyone,

Something strange happens when working on windows 32bit latest beta
versions. When I do Calculate on a quadratic triangles mesh I actually have
3 noded triangles in the .dat output file. This happens with version 9.2.3
and 9.2.5b. With the very latest version (9.2.7b) the “Quadratic” option in
the Mesh drop-down menu has simply disappeared!!

In all other cases (same geometry model, same .bas file but older versions
of GiD fo Windows or Linux versions) everything works fine.

Did anyone note the same behaviour?

The quadratic option of the menu has been moved in the last 9.2.7b to the Preferences window (Mesh tab), to be in the same place as the other meshing global variables.

About the problem when writting the calculation file,
Which command are you using in the .bas template to write the mesh connectivities?

I tried a simple *elemsconec command
*loop elems
*elemsnum *elemsconec
*end elems

and it worked well (GiD 9.2.7b Windows x32)

Are you sure that your mesh is really generated quadratic (can list some element, or show node labels to see if quadratic nodes exists)
If it continue failing, please, send me a zip with your problemtype and a small example

Regards
