You can expect different numerical results due to the following improvements to System Coupling's mapping capabilities:
Accuracy improvements when mapping node-based extensive data between surfaces or from point cloud to surface.
Accuracy improvements to volume element-to-element profile-preserving mapping.
Accuracy improvements to surface element to point cloud mapping, especially on the non-overlapping points.
Improved the non-overlap handling behavior for surface to point cloud mapping. The previous behavior was that point cloud points far from the surface were being assigned zero values despite being reported as mapped. The new behavior depends on if the source is extensive:
If source data is extensive, non-overlapping target values continue to receive zero values (same behavior) but are indicated as unmapped.
If the source data is intensive, non-overlapping target point cloud points are mapped from the nearest surface points, and continue to be considered as mapped.
Accuracy improvements when mapping profile-preserving data on surfaces from nodes to elements.
