GiD

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GiD is a graphic pre and post processor environment for computer analysis in science and engineering. It is a software package developed by CIMNE

[edit] Features and Capabilities

GiD has a graphical user-friendly interface for geometrical modelling (CAD), data management, automatic mesh generation and visualisation of results for all types of numerical simulation programs. Typical problems that can be tackled with GiD include most situations in solid and structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, electromagnetics, heat transfer, geomechanics, etc. using finite element, finite volume, boundary element, finite difference or point based (meshless) numerical procedures.


GiD is easy to adapt to any numerical simulation code, its input and output formats can be customised and made compatible with any existing in-house software. The different menus for data input and results visualisation can be tailored to the specific needs and desires of the user. Advanced customization can be done with Tcl/Tk scripting language

It is available for most common platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac OSX.
