Importing from a Static ROM Builder Project

The File menu option Import data > Import SRB project imports data objects from a static ROM builder project that was created in Ansys Twin Builder. You use this option to get the following data objects from the static ROM builder project:

  • Point cloud as a reference FEM mesh, including named selections

  • Scalar input parameters for each field design

  • Node field quantity samples

After importing a static ROM builder project, you have all scalar input parameters and their associated field designs for creating a field-MOP or an empirical random field model.

When importing a static ROM builder project, you select the folder containing the project files (points.bin, doe.csv, the snapshots folder, and more).

The option First design identifier allows you to append the imported data to existing designs in the database, starting with the design identifier set. oSP3D does not overwrite already existing designs but displays an error message instead.

The action that oSP3D takes when importing a static ROM builder project with an already existing reference mesh depends on whether this mesh is compatible with the project's point cloud:

  • If the existing reference mesh is compatible with the project's point cloud, oSP3D uses its compatible mesh mapper for field data import.

  • If the existing reference mesh is incompatible with the project's point cloud and the existing reference mesh is an FEM mesh with shell elements, oSP3D uses its closest point projection mesh mapper for field data import.

With incompatible mesh mapping, oSP3D reports mapping accuracy through log messages. Carefully analyze mapping results visually and compare minimum and maximum field values.
