ALGORITHM = ClosestPoint OnTheFly | See descriptions below. |
ClosestPoint is the most commonly-used option and accounts for most of the mapping scenarios targeted by the Envyo application. Beginning with the target mesh, the next element or integration point is identified and its data transferred to the target mesh.
The OnTheFly option handles thickness differences of a draping simulation to represent the properties of each layer. For more information, contact Ansys customer support.

Search_Radius = SrcEleLen TarEleLen DOUBLE | Defines 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 the search radius. The default value is 1.0. |
| SORT = BUCKET | Using bucket sort is strongly recommended, as it provides a substantial performance improvement for 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. |
| NPLANE = INT |
1 - reduced integrated thick shell elements 4 - fully integrated thick shell elements |
|
IntegrationRule = Gauss Lobatto | 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. |
| NTHICK = INT | Define the number of through-thickness integration points. |
| MapStress = YES/NO | Specify whether or not stresses should be transferred. |
| MapStrain = YES/NO | Specify whether or not strains should be transferred. |
|
TShell_Option = Beta Composite | The active fiber orientation-specific output for thick shell elements. |
| NumberOfTARStacks = DOUBLE | Define the number of target mesh stacks. |
| SourceMaterialModel = INT | Define the source material model. *MAT 249 UDFIBER is the only material model supported. NumFibers and FiberID#1 options (below) should be also defined with the source material model definition. |
| NumFibers = 1 | Supporting field for *MAT 249 UDFIBER definition (above). |
| FiberID#1 = INT |
Define the fiber ID. This option supports the *MAT 249 UDFIBER definition (above). |
