5.15.7. Mapping Options

Algorithm = PointProjectionThis is the only available option.
Shell_Option = Composite Composite Long Output format for *ELEMENT SHELL ...

Offset Option = FlatUpper

FlatLower

Indicates the surface to align all elements of *ELEMENT SHELL ... This option uses the same syntax as LS-PrePost.

Search_Radius = SrcEleLen

TarEleLen

DOUBLE

Declares search radius for the mapping algorithm. SrcEleLen is default, which uses average source mesh element size as the search radius. To use average target mesh element size instead, define either TarEleLen or a positive DOUBLE value.
Scale_SearchRadius= DOUBLE Coefficient to scale search buckets in bucket search algorithm.

Master Side = Source

Target

Defines master side for the point projection algorithm. The master side element normal is used as the projection vector.

Projection Tolerance = DOUBLE

Normalized distance comparison coefficient (≥ 1) to accept the found source mesh data, if it is satisfied.

Overlapping Layers = YES/NODefines if the overlapping layers are included in the mapping process.
Overlap Coefficient = DOUBLERegularizes the coefficient for overlapping. The default value is 0.52.
SORT = BUCKETUse bucket sort to significantly speed up the search algorithm.
REPEAT = YES Turn on this option so that all elements and integration points receive data. This flag must be defined if bucket refinement is too small for all points to receive values due to the element size differences of the source and target meshes.
