Hi there, I am writing an FEA solver for fun (and education) and I am using gmsh as my post-processor.
Im trying to visualize my beam elements using a 4-node line element in gmsh. It seems the displacements for the inner nodes are not being shown in the post-processing view. Below is a very simple MSH file that I wrote to test. The mesh consists of one 4-node line with no displacements on either end. The middle two nodes have a displacement of -0.1. However, I cant see any displacement shape in gmsh. Any ideas? I have set vector display = 'displacement' in post-processing options so its not that. $MeshFormat 2.2 0 8 $EndMeshFormat $Nodes 4 1 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 3 0.33 0 0 4 0.66 0 0 $EndNodes $Elements 1 1 26 0 1 2 3 4 $EndElements $NodeData 1 "Displacement" 1 0.0 3 0 3 4 1 0.0 0.0 0.0 2 0.0 0.0 0.0 3 0.0 -0.1 0.0 4 0.0 -0.1 0.0 $EndNodeData _______________________________________________ gmsh mailing list [email protected] http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh
