How to use "OpenSeesPost.exe" to GiD converter

Post by shiro » Tue Dec 15, 2020 7:13 pm

I am trying to analyze the tcl file of the following tutorial with OpenSees
and visualize the calculated result with GiD as post-processing.

The analysis result by OpenSees is obtained, and the "*.out" file is output.

https://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/inde ... s_of_Slope

How to use to demonstrate the post-processing capabilities of GiD ?

The pre-processing is analyzed by the OpenSees solver, and the post-processing is going to be visualized by GiD.

I would like to know how to create a GiD file from OpenSeesPost.exe.

Post-processing seems to run Matlab "flaviaWriter.m" and output "projectname.post.res".
"renameMe.flavia.msh" file is already outputed.

flaviaWriter.m
dispFlavia.m
porePressFlavia.m
ppRatioFlavia.m
processMotion.m
stressFlavia.m

I don't have an environment where I can use Matlab, and I don't know Matlab.
I can use it with Python or Fortran.

I would appreciate it if you could tell me if there is a code that can be output to GiD with Python or Fortran.


The description of OpenSees to GiD converter is as follows.


*)OpenSees to GiD converter

The output files containing the results are automatically translated to the required GiD compatible format and
imported in the GiD Post-Processor environment, where all standard visual and graphic tools are available.
For further information about Post-Processor, see the next subparagraph.
GiD can import the results produced by the OpenSees, so GiD and OpenSees communicate through the transfer of files.
In order to achieve this file communication, an external program has been developed (OpenSeesPost.exe)
which translates the produced numerical results to a file that has the extension (file tail) post.res in the project directory,
which is subsequently read by GiD and results are imported in the post-processor environment.
Specifically, when analysis is completed, OpenSeesPost.exe searches for output files in the OpenSees folder
inside the project directory projectname.gid and therefore it translates and transforms them in the projectname.post.res file.

You should contact the authors of the GiD post-processor for OpenSees: http://gidopensees.rclab.civil.auth.gr/

Dear mhscott

Thank you for your advice.

I try to contact the authors of the GiD post-processor for OpenSees.

Hi
Dear shiro, could you solve the problem with gui?
