17.6.7.2.17. Imported Velocity

You can import velocities from an upstream Motion, Harmonic Response or Harmonic Acoustics analysis to a downstream Harmonic Acoustics, Coupled Field Harmonic, or LS-DYNA Acoustics analysis. The application automatically inserts an Imported Velocity object into the downstream system to represent the transfer. For applicable transfers or for specific steps to transfer data, see the Imported Boundary Conditions section.


Note:
  • You can use the Source Body property to specify a Named Selection as source data. This option can improve performance by reducing the number of transferred source nodes.

  • For surface bodies, the thickness of each target node is ignored when data is mapped. When importing data from an External Data system, the Shell Thickness Factor property enables you to account for the thickness at each target node, and consequently modify the location used for each target node during the mapping process. For additional information, see External Data.

  • This imported loading condition supports the Vector Display options.

  • For additional information, see the Load Mapping Workflow Specification section.
