5.3.5. Mapping Options

ALGORITHM = ClosestPointThe 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 = DOUBLECoefficient to scale search radius. The default value is 1.0.
ETYP = INT

1 - Reduced integrated solid elements.

2 - Fully integrated solid elements.

MapStress = YES

NO

Activates or deactivates stress mapping.

MapStrain = YES

NO

Activates or deactivates strain mapping.
InitialStress = DOUBLEEnables initializing a specific stress value for all elements and integration points. This flag is mainly used to remove all stresses after mapping is performed, so that InitialStress = 0.0.

HISV_HANDLING = YES

NO

CLEAR

Enables moving and modifying history variables with custom definitions. Regarding the meaning of histories, refer to [20], [4]. If CLEAR, all history variables are removed before generating the result file. If YES, define as many history variables as must be modified in the following way:
MAX_NUM_HISV = INTDefine a new maximum number of history variables. This is an easy way to get rid of unwanted histories which are not useful for the new model, but also enables extending the amount of histories being output. If a history variable is being moved to a position which is higher than the actual number of history variables in the input deck, the number of histories are extended automatically.
STRESS TENSOR POS = INTPosition of the beginning of the stress tensor, if stored on history variables.
SORT = BUCKETUsing bucket sort is strongly recommended, as it provides a substantial performance improvement for the search algorithm.
REPEAT = YESEnable 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.
