paint elsets doesn't work #30

Open ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb opened 1 year ago

ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb commented 1 year ago

Hello,imirzov! Thanks to your effort for this tool.
I'm new to calculix, when following your video tutorial, I didn't achieve the same result, i.e. when I opened CAE and clicked CGX-paint elsets, I didn't get the expected rendering results , the same for paint surfaces. Could you help me see what's the problem? cae

ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb commented 1 year ago

this is the log file , may be usful for my issue cae.log

imirzov commented 1 year ago

Wow, you've made a GIF :) Hi! I see one error in the log file. Lines 98-99: path to the FBD file is cropped. And I do not know why. Please, try to close CGX window and open it again via menu "CGX -> Reopen INP model".

ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb commented 1 year ago

Thanks , but that has not taken effect. I also installed the bconverged version of calculix, maybe this has something to do with it？

imirzov commented 1 year ago

No, bconverged wont help.

There is second problem in your log file. Each CGX command for elset painting should start with a newline. For example, I have:

plot e all
minus e all
plus e ALL_e blue0
plus e C3D4 blue1
plus e C3D6 blue2
plus e C3D8 blue3

But you have everything in one line:

plot e allminus e allplus e ALL_e blue0plus e C3D4 blue1plus e C3D6 blue2plus e C3D8 blue3

Are buttons on the left top corner (view line, view fill, view elem) working? Also, please, have a look into /config/cgx_start.fbd - is this file ok, does it have newlines?

Hi, imirzov. The problem still exists. I'm sorry i have not seen your last reply and reply in time .

I examined /config/cgx_start.fbd ，it does have newlines. Actually，i have downloaded many times the lastest release （version 0.91） and everything is new from unpacked zip file, but those buttons dont work. Other buttons like view lines , view fill ,view elem, also gets undesierd results.( The graphic window keeps shaking but without the expected result.)

I find that , in log file after every run , the commands behind those buttons sometimes are in one line , sometimes are in diffrente lines （this situation , graphic box still does not render correctly ） , and sometimes throw an erro : ERROR, no matching file-type found

my laptop is Win11 ，and i have tested a few times on other pc , like win10 in virtural box , win10 laptop of my friends , all of them have this problem . but when i tested on linux (ubuntu 22.04) , it works well . there are some log files: win11 not work cae.log cae.log cae.log

ubuntu 22.04 work very well cae.log

it's a pitty that such excellent GUI interface for calculix have these awakward problems ， looking forward to your help!
