[GiDlist] Re: Output varies with folder name, a bug? (GiD-9.

Hi Enrique,

That’s exactly what I did. The inconsistency between “C:\Program
Files” and “D:...” comes from the fact that I moved GiD to another
folder with simpler name. Actually, there is no change in gid.ini
before and after the batch run with -b -n.

Anyway, I can reproduce the event with GiD-9.0.4 from two different
PC. Yet GiD-8.0.6 produces identical meshing no matter what is the
folder’s name.


Regards,

Jian

are you sure that the gid.ini is the same when running both cases?
0. copy to a temporary folder “gid.ini” from "C:\Documents and =
settings\username\Application Data\GiD\gid.ini"
1. under E:\a, type “C:\Program Files\GiD\gid.exe” -b temp.bch -n
2 restore “gid.ini” from your temporary copy (the last gid.exe could =
have changed it)
3. under E:\a1, type “C:\Program Files\GiD\gid.exe” -b temp.bch -n
and compare if both meshes are equal
I am trying to repeat it, but in my tests I am obtaining always the same =
result!
I think that the problem is related to the content of the gid.ini, that =
has the variables GIDDEFAULT and GIDDEFAULTTCL=20
and in your case are pointing to a GiD different of the 9.0.4 that you =
use for the batchs, located at “c:\Program Files\GiD”
and the variables in your gid.ini point to
GIDDEFAULT “D:/apps/GiD”
GIDDEFAULTTCL “D:/apps/GiD/scripts”
This GIDDEFAULT and GIDDEFAULTTCL gid.ini settings are deprecated, and =
we definitely ignored them everywere in the last beta version 9.2.5b
I think that you can avoid the problem removing this two lines from your =
gid.ini or setting tjhem to the appropiated GiD path
GIDDEFAULT “C:/Program Files/GiD”
GIDDEFAULTTCL “C:/Program Files/GiD/scripts”
or updating to the 9.2.5b beta version

I am sorry, but I am unable to repeat this problem, in my tests I am always
having the same mesh file
(also setting your gid.ini to use exactly your same meshing preferences)

Note: I am using Windows Vista x32, and testing from a unit named L instead
E (L:\a and L:\a)

I don’t understand how the folder name can affect the mesh !!
maybe there is some random uninitialized variable and you are also obtaining
different meshes when running gid several times from the same folder?
(e.g. always from E:\a)

Have you tried with the 9.2.5b beta version?
(as I explained, we did some changes related to the GIDDEFAULT gid.ini
setting)

Regards

Enrique
