This option enables the transfer of orientations stored in beam elements onto LS-DYNA meshes to be used for ALE filling simulations. The option is a legacy implementation that references the deprecated compositeout output format.
This section covers the following topics:
| SourceFile = STRING | Define the name and, if needed, the path of the source file, (usually a *.dynain file). |
| TargetFile = STRING | Define the name and, if needed, the path of the target file. This should be an LS-DYNA mesh. |
| MappingResult = STRING | Define the result filename. The mapping result will be written to this newly generated file. |
|
OrientationFile = HISV Nodes | Define this flag to enable transfer of orientations. This notifies the application that orientation data is stored within history variables (HISV). Alternatively, the orientation can be derived from the element nodes (Nodes). This method may yield accurate results if the mesh was well-aligned from the outset. |
Available source and result file formats are listed below:
|
SourceFileFormat =LS−DYNA ESI−PC Nastran HDF5 ESI−HDF5 GCODE ABAQUS STEP CSV |
The source file format. LS-DYNA is the preferred format. |
| TargetFileFormat =LS − DYNA | The target file format. LS-DYNA is the only supported format |
| ResultFileFormat =LS − DYNA | The result file format. LS-DYNA is the only accepted format for now. |
