| ALGORITHM = ClosestPoint | The only available option is ClosestPoint. Values are mapped to the nearest node, integration point, or element center. |
|
Search_Radius = SrcEleLen TarEleLen DOUBLE | Specifies 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 search radius. The default value is 1.0. |
| MapStress = YES/NO | Activates or deactivates stress mapping. |
| MapStrain = YES/NO | Activates or deactivates strain mapping. |
| MapThickness = YES/NO | Defines if the thicknesses mapping transfers between meshes. This option requires *ELEMENT SHELL THICKNESS cards in the dynain file, and overrides TargetThickness. |
| TargetThickness = DOUBLE | Defines the thickness in the target shell mesh. |
| NPLANE = INT |
1 - Reduced integrated shell elements 4 - Fully integrated shell elements This option is formerly known as NumberOfTARInPlaneIPs. |
| NTHICK = INT | Defines the number of through-thickness integration points (IPs). This option is formerly known as NumberOfTARThroughThicknessIPs. |
|
IntegrationRule = Gauss Lobatto Autoform Moldflow | Defines the through thickness integration rule of the mapping result. This option directly effects the positions of the through thickness integration points on the target mesh. |
| 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. |
