Multiple glossaries with different styles

Question

Im trying to have two glossaries in my Thesis. One for the acronyms and the other one for the equation symbols. the problem is that for the acronyms i want to have just two columns without headers and for the equations three with headers. I've wrtitten this code but i dont know how can i give a different Style for the acronyms (only two columns) (see below)

\documentclass[12pt,twoside,booktabs,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[acronym,toc,shortcuts]{glossaries}


\newglossary[ch1]{formel}{ch2}{ch3}{Formelverzeichnis}

\makenoidxglossaries
\setacronymstyle{long-short}

\newglossarystyle{formel_altlong4colheader}{%
\setglossarystyle{altlong4colheader}%
% 
\renewcommand*{\glossaryheader}{%
    \bfseries Formelzeichnen
   & \bfseries Bedeutung
   & \bfseries Einheit\\
   \hline
   \\\endhead}%
 \renewcommand{\glossentry}[2]{% 
 \glstarget{##1}{\glossentryname{##1}}% 
 & \glossentrydesc{##1}% 
 & \glossentrysymbol{##1}% 
 \tabularnewline % end of row
 }%
}

\setlength{\glsdescwidth}{3in}
\setglossarystyle{formel_altlong4colheader}


%------Acronym---------
\renewcommand*{\acronymname}{Abkürzungsverzeichnis}
\newacronym[shortplural={BLKs},longplural={Belastungskollektive}]{BLK}{BLK}{Belastungskollektiv}
\newacronym{DL}{DL}{Dauerlauf}
\newacronym[shortplural={Fzg-DL},longplural={Fahrzeugdauerläufen}]{Fzg-DL}{Fzg-DL}{Fahrzeug Dauerlauf}

%-----Formel---
\newglossaryentry{re}
{%
name={$R_e$},
description={Streckgrenze},
symbol={Pa},
sort=streckgrenze,
type=formel
}
\newglossaryentry{rm}
{%
name={$R_m$},
description={Zugfestigkeit},
symbol={Pa},
sort=Zugfestigkeit,
type=formel
}



\begin{document}

\printnoidxglossaries

\newpage
\gls{BLK}
\gls{DL}
\gls{Fzg-DL}
\gls{re}

\end{document}

do you have any idea how can i do it??

Thank you!

Answer 1

It seems to me that you want a style for your acronyms that looks like long3col but without page numbers.

So, define a new style for acronyms

\newglossarystyle{acronym_long3col}{%
\setglossarystyle{long3col}%
%
 \renewenvironment{theglossary}%
    {\begin{longtable}[l]{@{}p{0.2\hsize}p{0.7\hsize}p{0.01\hsize}@{}}}%
    {\end{longtable}}%
 \renewcommand{\glossentry}[2]{%
 \glstarget{##1}{\glossentryname{##1}}%
 & \glossentrydesc{##1}%
 \tabularnewline % end of row
 }%
}

and then delete the line

\setglossarystyle{formel_altlong4colheader}

After that, replace

\printnoidxglossaries

with

\printnoidxglossary[type=acronym, style=acronym_long3col]
\printnoidxglossary[type=formel,  style=formel_altlong4colheader]

MWE:

\newglossary[ch1]{formel}{ch2}{ch3}{Formelverzeichnis}

 \renewcommand{\glossentry}[2]{%
 \glstarget{##1}{\glossentryname{##1}}%

\begin{document}

\end{document} 

Output (List of acronyms)

Answer 2

Much easier then you think. Call the glossaries one by one and you can give them a different style each.

\documentclass[12pt,twoside,booktabs,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[acronym,toc,shortcuts]{glossaries}


\newglossary[ch1]{formel}{ch2}{ch3}{Formelverzeichnis}

\makenoidxglossaries
\setacronymstyle{long-short}

\newglossarystyle{formel_altlong4colheader}{%
    \setglossarystyle{altlong4colheader}%
    % 
    \renewcommand*{\glossaryheader}{%
        \bfseries Formelzeichnen
        & \bfseries Bedeutung
        & \bfseries Einheit\\
        \hline
    \\\endhead}%
    \renewcommand{\glossentry}[2]{% 
        \glstarget{##1}{\glossentryname{##1}}% 
        &
        \glossentrydesc{##1}% 
        &
        \glossentrysymbol{##1}% 
        \tabularnewline % end of row
    }%
}

\setlength{\glsdescwidth}{3in}


                      %------Acronym---------
\renewcommand*{\acronymname}{Abkürzungsverzeichnis}
\newacronym[shortplural={BLKs},longplural={Belastungskollektive}]{BLK}{BLK}{Belastungskollektiv}
\newacronym{DL}{DL}{Dauerlauf}
\newacronym[shortplural={Fzg-DL},longplural={Fahrzeugdauerläufen}]{Fzg-DL}{Fzg-DL}{Fahrzeug
Dauerlauf}

                      %-----Formel---
\newglossaryentry{re}
{%
    name={$R_e$},
    description={Streckgrenze},
    symbol={Pa},
    sort=streckgrenze,

{%
