CalculiX CGX as Preprocessor

Main CGX cards (Pre-processing mode)
Type commands when CalculiX GraphiX window is active, see response and output at terminal emulator (black) window.


prnt se

will show list or all groups with number of entities








______________________________________________

At picture above the group 'fixed' has 672 nodes, 'bore2' has  1353 nodes
Let's show them in graphic window.
Type:

plus n fixed m
plus n bore2 b














In this case 'n' means nodes, 'm' - magenta, 'b' - blue (color).


plot <entity> <group> <color> - will show the group of entities
plus <entity> <group> <color>
 will add the group of entities to existing view

plot n all – show all nodes (group ='all')
plot e VOL1 – show elements of the group 'VOL1'
plot na all – all nodes with their numbers

Colors:
White w, Black k, Red r, Green g, Blue b, Yellow y,
Magenta m, Nickel 'n' (metallic gray) and turquois t


plus na BC1 r - will add view for nodal group BC1 (red colour)

will write all mesh without groups (nodes and elements)
for shell elements renaming the type of element is required

the group of faces with name = 'load'

send surf abq film 1200. 0.5

will assign the film temperature of 1200 and
the film coefficient 0.5 to all element-faces in set surf.
______________________________________________
send surf abq dflux 0.5

will assign the flux of 0.5 to all element-faces in set surf.
______________________________________________
send fix1 abq nam
write nodes for the group 'fix1' into
the txt file with 'num' extension
______________________________________________
