5.20.5. 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 buckets in the bucket search algorithm.
ETYP = INT 1 - Reduced integrated solid elements

2 - Fully integrated solid elements

This accounts for hexahedral elements as well as tetrahedral elements. ETYP = 1 therefore activates the mapping to reduced integrated tetrahedral elements (LS-DYNA ETYP 10 or 13), whereas ETYP = 2 activates the mapping to fully (4-point) integrated tetrahedral elements (LS-DYNA ETYP 4, 16 or 17). The number of integration points for tetrahedral elements can also be changed with NIPTETS

OUTPUT_OPTION = INITIAL STRESS ONLY

Only *INITIAL_OPTION cards are written to the mapping result file. Nodes and elements are skipped.
