5.30.2. Input and Output Meshes

SourceFile = STRINGDefine the name and, if needed, the path of the source file (in this case, a *.txt file holding temperature result data).
NumSourceFile = INT Number of source *.txt files used for the input. This works in combination with ANSYS Fluent software temperature result files and temperature mapping. Temperature data from several files are mapped onto the target mesh as LS-DYNA application lsda tprint - binary files.
SourceFile#i = STRING,DOUBLE If multiple source files are used, first provide the file name followed by a time value used as abscissa value of a temperature-time curve. The output is a LS-DYNA application lsda tprint - file.
TargetFile = STRING Define the name and, if needed, the path of the target file. This must be an LS-DYNA application mesh.
MappingResult = STRING Define the result file name. The mapping result is written into this newly generated file.

SourceFileFormat = FLUENTASCII

Define the format of the file that is read.

For ANSYS Fluent software, result *.txt file holds a description of the data in the first line. The following information includes cell numbers (or IDs), coordinates of the mid-points of the cells and the temperature value.

ResultFileFormat =LS − DYNA

LSDA

Define the result file format. LS-DYNA is the default value. In addition, the output of lsda binary tprint files can be activated. Those can be used within the LS-DYNA application in combination with the keyword *LOAD_THERMAL_BINOUT.
TransformedMeshFile = STRING Specify the file name where the transformed mesh is written. This option is intended solely for postprocessing of the transformation. For additional details, refer to the Transformation Options section below.
