This worksheet is used to generate “manually” the GMSH files containing the envelopes of Results. More precisely, a selection of load cases is read, and the corresponding Results retrieved from “” SQLITE database are retrieved and used to generate envelopes of Results that shall be saved in GMSH files.
This is done by clicking the “Save GMSH envelope” button. The arguments of the corresponding subroutine are stored in two cells:
Cell C6 contains the name of the spreadsheet in which the selection of load cases shall be read. This spreadsheet can be the sheet “envelopeGMSH” itself, or another worksheet defining the selection. The first column of the worksheet is read and a list of load cases is generated.
Cell C7 contains the access path to the main BDF files used to generate the database that shall be used for the generation of GMSH files.
