Mapping Target Set for Mechanical Nodes and Mapping Target Set for Mechanical Shells dialog boxes (Simcenter Samcef)
| Name | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sets the name of the mapping target set constraint. |
| Description | Sets the description. |
| Destination Folder | |
| Constraints Container | Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the constraint will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command.To view a hierarchical list of existing folders, click Folder Manager . To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder. |
Mapping Target Set for Mechanical Nodes
| Destination Nodes | |
|---|---|
| Group Reference | Lets you use a group of nodes.Select the group from the list, or click New Group. For more information, see Group Reference options. |
| Select Object | Lets you select nodes. |
| Stacked Smart Selector Methods | Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box. |
| Excluded | Lets you remove individual entities from within the selected object. |
| Parameters | |
| External Thermal Group Name | Lets you select the source mapping zones modeling object that was created when you defined the Mapping solution options. |
| Tolerance | Select Absolute or Relative to define the tolerance mode. |
| Lateral Tolerance | When Tolerance is set to Absolute, lets you define the tolerance value.When Tolerance is set to Relative, lets you define the tolerance relative factor |
Mapping Target Set for Mechanical Shells
| Destination Elements | |
|---|---|
| Group Reference | Lets you use a group of 2D shell elements.Select the group from the list, or click New Group. For more information, see Group Reference options. |
| Select Object | Lets you select 2D shell elements. |
| Stacked Smart Selector Methods | Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box. |
| Excluded | Lets you remove individual entities from within the selected object. |
| Parameters | |
| External Thermal Group Name | Lets you select the source mapping zones modeling object that was created when you defined the Mapping solution options. |
| Tolerance | Select Absolute or Relative to define the tolerance mode. |
| Maximum Inclination | Lets you define the maximum inclination of thermal volumes lateral faces underneath which the faces are rejected. |
| Lateral Tolerance | When Tolerance is set to Absolute, lets you define the tolerance value.when Tolerance is set to Relative, lets you define the tolerance factor. This factor, multiplied by the average closest element size, defines the tolerance value. |
