TrueGrid« mesh generator

TrueGrid« mesh generator

TrueGrid« mesh generator

(OP)
I know this forum is about ABAQUS but I didn't find any forum concerning about TrueGrid and many ABAQUS users prefer to create their mesh by this great software for special purposes.
My question: In TrueGrid® when I applied pressure loading it was not created when i checked by "condition" command. I checked everything and I am so confused. My boundary conditions have the same problem. But the problem about pressure is more important if you have not enough time to look up both. You can see my file in this address (It's a small model and checking it won't thake too much time): http://www.mediafire.com/view/?cem6513pbzjrpah
You can change the extension to .tg and I have implemented an "interrupt" to ease using the "condition" command. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks IceBreakerSours. You know, another perfect feature of TrueGrid is that you can easily perform huge parametric analysis. With the aid of small program (written in any language) you are really able to produce 5000 inp files in less than a day and then run all of them automatically and sequentially by a simple batch file. Now you can guess your answer: If these files do not contain B.C.s and Pr loading I have to import all of them one by one into ABAQUS and apply B.C.s and Pr which entails too much manual labor.

RE: TrueGrid« mesh generator

I have some very basic level experience with TrueGrid. However, I really am no good at it. I wish TrueGrid folks had a forum and better documentation. I really wish to use it some day! :(

TrueGrid has some special features while being relatively cheap; their 70s interface could use an upgrade!

By the way, you can do parametric analysis with ABAQUS too with minimal effort.
