ALGORITHM =ClosestPoint
|
MapStress =YES NO | Activates or deactivates the mapping of stress data (every value stored in *INITIAL STRESS OPTION cards on the source side). The default algorithm is the closest point algorithm (or nearest neighbor search). See below for additional option details. |
|
MapStrain = YES NO | Specify if strains have to be transferred or not. |
|
MapTemperature = YES NO | Specify if temperatures are transferred or not. |
|
MapThickness =YES NO | Activates or deactivates thickness transfer. This option requires having *ELEMENT SHELL THICKNESS cards in the dynain file. If TargetThickness is defined, it is ignored. Default option is CP (closest point). Thickness mapping is based on the thicknesses stored on the nodes. Thickness is averaged over all elements attached to a node, regardless of the chosen interpolation option. The listed interpolation options function similarly to those described in MapStress. |
| TargetThickness = DOUBLE | Define the thickness in the target shell mesh. |
If the target mesh lacks details about integration rules like element formulation and through-thickness points, you must define them. The input is as follows:
| NPLANE = INT |
1 - Reduced integrated shell elements. 4 - Fully integrated shell elements. This option is formerly known as NumberOfTARInPlaneIPs. |
| NTHICK = INT |
Define the number of through-thickness integration points (IPs). |
|
IntegrationRule =Gauss Lobatto Autoform Moldflow | Define the through-thickness integration rule for the mapping result. This option directly affects the positions of the through thickness integration points on the target mesh. |
|
Search_Radius =SrcEleLen TarEleLen DOUBLE | Search radius declaration for the mapping algorithm. SrcEleLen is the default, which uses the average source mesh element size as a search radius. Average target mesh element size can be used by defining TarEleLen, or a positive DOUBLE value can be defined. |
| Scale_SearchRadius= DOUBLE | Coefficient to scale search radius. |
| SORT= BUCKET | Always use bucket sort for a significant speed-up of the search algorithm. |
| REPEAT= YES | Turn on this option to ensure that all elements and integration points receive some data. Depending on the size differences of the elements in source and target meshes, bucket refinement may be too small for all points to receive values. In those cases, you must define this flag. |
