| SourceFile = STRING | Define the name and, if needed, the path of the source file (in this case, a *.csv file). |
|
SourceFileFormat = CSV PIXEL − CSV | Define the format of the file that is read. |
| NumSourceFile = INT | Number of source *.csv files used for the input. This works in combination with pixel csv files and temperature mapping. Temperature data from several files will be mapped onto the target mesh either as LS-DYNA lsda tprint files, or as ASCII, using *BOUNDARY_TEMPERATURE_NODE. |
| 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 can be either LS-DYNA lsda tprint - files, or ASCII, using *BOUNDARY_TEMPERATURE_NODE. |
| TargetFile = STRING | Define the name and, if needed, the path of the target file. This should be an LS-DYNA mesh. |
| MappingResult = STRING | Define the result file name. The mapping result is written into this newly generated file. |
For csv-format, assume the following: the first line is left for comments about the meaning of the listed values. All other lines are interpreted as points of the point cloud. The first three values separated with commas are assumed to be the coordinates of the points. All the other following values are considered to be history variables. Future developments may take into consideration such values as stresses, strains and others with the methods described below.
For pixel-csv, data is provided as result data for a point cloud which has to be generated first. This application only works in combination with temperature mapping and the input of the PixelSize is necessary. The point cloud for the provided values is generated using the PixelSize starting at the origin (0,0,0) and generating points in the x- and y direction following the values provided in the pixel-csv file.
|
ResultFileFormat = LS−DYNA LSDA | Define the result file format. LS-DYNA is the default value. Also, the output of lsda binary tprint files can be activated. Those can be used within LS-DYNA in combination with the keyword *LOAD THERMAL BINOUT. |
| TransformedMeshFile = STRING | Specify the file name where the transformed mesh will be written. This option is intended only for the postprocessing of the transformation. For additional details, refer to the Transformation Options section below. |
