Thermal groups in Simcenter Samcef mapping solution

In the Mapping solution options, when you create thermal group names, the software parses the source thermal model to extract all the 2D or 3D element groups it contains. For each of these groups, the software automatically creates an External Thermal Group Name modeling object.

In the Properties group of the modeling object, the following properties are automatically populated.

Option	Description
Group Name	The group name as defined in the thermal solution
SDB file	The Simcenter Samcef database (.sdb) file containing the Simcenter Samcef thermal model data
Number of elements	The number of elements in the group
Group Id	The group's ID
