Use the following methods to check your mapping results:
During the mapping process, System Coupling writes a Transcript which logs relevant steps in the mapping process. The following sections are of particular interest for aerodamping applications:
For more detailed information about the System Coupling Transcript, see Transcript and Log File. (Note that only the sections relevant to aerodamping analyses will be included in the Transcript.)
Use the Mapping Summary section of the Transcript to verify that the source and target meshes are as expected.

Use the Mapping Summary and Transfer Diagnostics sections of the Transcript to perform a high-level assessment of the mapping quality.
For best results, the target values should be as close to 100% mapped as possible. The source and target values should be similar, although slight differences may occur when the meshes are dissimilar.

Use Ansys EnSight to visualize the mapped results, confirm that the source and target geometries are aligned and instanced properly, and identify areas of non-overlap. You may open mapping results in EnSight from either System Coupling's GUI or CLI.
- Open Results in EnSight from the GUI
Right-click the Solution branch and select Open Results in EnSight from the context menu.
- Open Results in EnSight from the CLI
Run the OpenResultsInEnSight() command.
