Export Simulation/Advanced Solver Options dialog box (ANSYS and LS-DYNA)

Load Advanced Solver Options from Solution	Appears when you export an ANSYS or LS-DYNA solution.If you previously clicked Edit Advanced Solver Options in the Solve dialog box to specify export options for a solution, you can click this button to load those settings in the Export Simulation dialog box.
Output File Units
Units	Specifies the unit system for the data written to the output file.
Specify Temperature Unit	Appears when ANSYS is the active solver.Specifies the unit system for the temperature data written to the output file.When you select this check box, you can specify the unit system from the list.
Output File Name
File Name	Sets the name of the output file.You can click Browse to specify the folder for the file.
Directory	Displays the folder in which to create the output file.
Formatting Options
Apply Real Data Filter To All Real Values	If any real values to be written to the input file are less than the value specified for Real Data Filter Value, then the software writes these values out as 0.0.
Real Data Filter Value	Available when the Apply Real Data Filter To All Real Values check box is selected.Sets the value to use to determine which data to write to the input file as 0.0.
Do not use block format for nodes and elements	Appears when ANSYS is the active solver.Controls whether this software uses the ANSYS NBLOCK and EBLOCK commands to write out the input file.If you select this check box, the nodes and elements are written out to the ANSYS input file without using the NBLOCK or EBLOCK commands.If you clear this check box, the NBLOCK and EBLOCK commands are written out the file.Writing out node and element data to the ANSYS input file in the blocked format can greatly reduce the amount of time that ANSYS needs to read the file. This difference is most noticeable with very large models.
Create ANSYS component (CM) for similar loads	Appears when ANSYS is the active solver.Controls whether the software uses the ANSYS CM command to group all elements that have the same face pressure load into a component.If you select this check box, the software uses the CM command to group all the elements with the same pressure load into a component. The software writes out a single face pressure (SFE) command in your ANSYS input file.You may want to select this check box if you plan to work with your ANSYS input file outside of Pre/Post. For example, if you select this check box, you can later select the surface pressures by their component name in the ANSYS pre-processing and post-processing software.If you clear this check box, the software writes out individual, single face pressure (SFE) commands for each element in your ANSYS input file.
Ignore unreferenced SECTYPE/SECDATA	Appears when ANSYS is the active solver.Controls whether the software exports certain physical properties that are included in the input file but not referenced by any elements. If you select this option, the software exports the following types of physical properties even if they are not referenced by any elements in the input file:SECTYPE and SECDATA commands (for PRETS179 elements)Shell, Laminate, and Basic Laminate physical property tables
Ignore unreferenced materials	Appears when ANSYS is the active solver.Controls whether the software exports materials that are included in the input file but not referenced by any elements. This option applies to materials defined with the MP, TB, TBDATA, and TBTEMP commands.
Exclusion ID Range for Alternative Materials	Lets you restrict the software from assigning ID values in certain ranges during the export process for instances of the *MAT keyword when you use a Pre/Post material to define multiple, different LS-DYNA material keywords.For more information, see Controlling ID values assigned during export (LS-DYNA).
*Exclusion ID Range for SET_PART	Lets you restrict the software from assigning ID values in certain ranges during the export process for instances of the *SET_PART keyword.For more information, see Controlling ID values assigned during export (LS-DYNA).
*Exclusion ID Range for CONTACT	Lets you restrict the software from assigning ID values in certain ranges during the export process for instances of the *CONTACT keyword.For more information, see Controlling ID values assigned during export (LS-DYNA).
Subset Export
Subset Export	Controls whether you export your entire model or just portions of it.Full modelExports the entire modelVisible elementsExports only the elements that are currently displayed in the model.Selected groupsExports only the contents of the selected groups.In addition to exporting the contents of a selected group, the software also exports:All boundary conditions associated with the nodes or elements in the group.All nodes associated with the elements in the group, even if the nodes themselves are not included in the group.
Output Options
Export all groups to node and element sets	Controls how the software exports groups.If you select this check box, the software exports all defined groups as *ELSET and *NSET keywords.If you clear this check box, the software does not export the groups.
Export all selection recipes to node and element sets	Controls how the software exports selection recipes.If you select this check box, the software exports all defined selection recipes as *ELSET and *NSET keywords.If you clear this check box, the software does not export the selection recipes.
Output Options (ANSYS or LS-DYNA)	Specifies the type of entities to export to the output file.Select the check box for each entity that you want to export. You can also click Select All to select all of the check boxes, or click Deselect All to clear all of them.
