5.8.2. Input and Output Meshes

SourceFile = STRING Define the name and, if needed, the path of the source file, (usually a *.dynain file).
TargetFile = STRINGDefine the name and, if needed, the path of the target file. This should be an LS-DYNA mesh.
MappingResult = STRING

Define the result filename. The mapping result is written to this newly-generated file.

OrientationFile = HISV

Nodes

Define this flag to enable transfer of orientations. This notifies the application that orientation data is stored within history variables (HISV). Alternatively, the orientation can be derived from the element nodes (Nodes). This method may yield accurate results if the mesh was well-aligned initially.

TransformedMeshFile = STRING

Specify the output filename for the transformed mesh. This option is intended solely for postprocessing of the transformation. For additional details, refer to the Transformation Options section below.

Available source and result file formats are listed below:

SourceFileFormat = LS-DYNA

ESI-PC

Nastran

HDF5

ESI-HDF5

GCODE

ABAQUS

STEP

CSV

The source file format. LS-DYNA is the preferred format.

TargetFileFormat = LS-DYNA The target file format. LS-DYNA is the only supported format
ResultFileFormat = LS-DYNA The result file format. LS-DYNA is the only supported format
