5.13.2. Input and Output Meshes

SourceFile = STRING

Defines the name and, if needed, the path of the source file (usually a *.dynain file).

TargetFile = STRING

Defines the name and, if needed, the path of the target file. The target file must be an LS-DYNA mesh.

MappingResult = STRING

Defines the result file name. The mapping result is written into this newly generated file.

OrientationFile = HISV

Nodes

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

TransformedMeshFile = STRING

Specifies the file name where the transformed mesh is written. This option is intended solely for postprocessing of the transformation. For additional details, refer to the Transformation Options below.

The following are available for source, target, and result file formats:

SourceFileFormat = LS − DYNA

ESI − PC

Nastran

HDF5

ESI − HDF5

GCODE

ABAQUS

STEP

CSV

The source file format. The preferred format is LS-DYNA.
TargetFileFormat = LS − DYNAThe target file format. The only format available is LS-DYNA.
ResultFileFormat = LS − DYNA

The result file format. The only format available is LS-DYNA.
