Use GID to generate elements and nodes, use Tochnog-GID to generate other data, use GID as post-processor
Use GID to prepare the mesh:
- Position your GID window a bit below the top of the screen,
because Tochnog-GID will locate itself at the top.
- Choose the data menu,
then choose the problem type menu, and then choose tochnog.
- Generate node, element and materi data.
- Save to problemname.gid.
Start Tochnog-GID:
- For Unix:
Type tngid in the problemname.gid directory.
- For Microsoft Windows:
Copy tn/gid/ tochnog.tcl to the problemname.gid directory.
Start the tochnog.tcl file with TclTk in the problemname.gid directory.
Use Tochnog-GID:
- Generate everything except for the node, element,
and element_group data.
- Save to append.dat.
Calculate and postprocess in GID:
- In GID: Calculate.
GID will automatically write a problemname.dat file.
This problemname.dat will be automatically merged with
the append.dat file to a problemname.dat file.
Then Tochnog will be run with the problemname.dat file.
This all is done in the problemname.gid directory.
Tochnog element_group data will be taken from GID material data.
- In GID: Postprocess.
After a 2D calculation read the file problemname.gid/ problemname.flavia.dat.
After a 3D calculation read the file problemname.gid/ problemname.flavia.msh.
