5.4.5. Mapping Options

ALGORITHM = ClosestPoint

ConsiderOndulation

The ClosestPoint option is the most used feature. It accounts for most of the mapping purposes being targeted with the Envyo application. Beginning from the target mesh, the next element or integration point is identified, and its data is transferred onto the target mesh.

The ConsiderOndulation option does not account for the ordering of the input parts. First, it maps the ones that are closest to the target part, then the second closest, and so forth. No resinuous areas can be assigned with this option. If the MapThickness option is turned on, the offset between the source layers is also considered which typically leads to varying thicknesses throughout the part.

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.

MapThickness = YES

NO

Define if thicknesses are transferred or not. This option requires *ELEMENT SHELL THICKNESS cards in the dynain file, and overwrites the value of TargetThickness.
TargetThickness = DOUBLEDefine the thickness in the target shell mesh.
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.
