5.1.5. Mapping Options

ALGORITHM = ClosestPoint The only available option is ClosestPoint. Values are mapped to the nearest node, integration point, or element center.

Search_Radius = SrcEleLen

TarEleLen

DOUBLE

Specifies the search radius for the mapping algorithm. By default, SrcEleLen is used, which sets the radius to the average element size of the source mesh. Alternatively, you can use TarEleLen to apply the average element size of the target mesh, or provide a positive DOUBLE value to define a custom radius.
Scale_SearchRadius = DOUBLE

Coefficient to scale search radius. The default value is 1.0.

TargetThickness = DOUBLE Define the thickness in the target shell mesh.
Shell_Option = COMPOSITE COMPOSITE LONG Define optional shell output option.
SORT = BUCKET Using bucket sort is strongly recommended, as it provides a substantial performance improvement for the search algorithm.
REPEAT = YES Enable this option to ensure that all elements and integration points receive mapped data. When there is a significant difference in element sizes between the source and target meshes, the default bucket refinement may be insufficient to cover all points—sometimes by design. In such cases, this flag must be set to guarantee complete data coverage.
