Mapping results text file (Simcenter Samcef)
The _it3.txt file contains the result of mapping a thermal model to a structural one. This data can be used as loads for a structural solution, as described in Chain a new structural solution with a mapping solution (Simcenter Samcef).
The file contains interpolated Temperature Load, Degree of Cure, or Glass Transition Temperature values for the timesteps defined in the thermal solution that is used as reference.
The software updates the file with the results based on the boundary and loads conditions in the thermal solution.
The results are structured as in a classic Simcenter Samcef bank input file:
.CLT
TFX NOEUD I 1 VALEUR 2.00000000E+01 TIME 2.00000000E+00
TFX NOEUD I 2 VALEUR 2.00000000E+01 TIME 2.00000000E+00
....
