5.30.5. Mapping Options

ALGORITHM =ClosestPoint The ClosestPoint option 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.

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.

MapTemperature = YES

NO

Enable this option to ensure that temperatures are transferred. It activates the output of a binary tprint file to be included in the LS-DYNA application analysis using *LOAD_THERMAL_BINOUT.

HISV_HANDLING =YES

NO

CLEAR

Enables you to move and modify history variables in a user-defined way. 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 should be modified. See Equation Parser.
MAX_NUM_HISV = INT Define a new maximum number of history variables. This is an easy way to get rid of unwanted histories which are of no use for the new model, but also enbles extending the amount of histories being output. If a history variable is being moved to a position which is higher then the actual number of history variables in the input deck, the number of histories is extended automatically.
SORT = BUCKET Always use bucket sort for a significant speed up of 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.
