3. Update the FEM mapping.

1. From the Label Matching Strategy list, select the desired method for mapping the data from the data source to the FEM:User Defined Mapping—Lets you manually map the loads to the target entities.For example, if a load is mapped to node 4 in the data source, you can change it to map the load to node 5.If you select this option, you can also add a load to a node, group, selection recipe, mesh, or FEM. When you do this, a corresponding function must exist in the data source.Defined by the File—Uses only the mapping provided by the data source, which you cannot change.With user-defined matching, you can create only separated or aggregated loads for the solution. With file-based matching, you should create file reference loads. For more information, see Separated, aggregated, and file reference loads.

2. If you selected Defined by the File, click Autofill to update the Mapping tab. At this point, you can click the link at the bottom of this procedure to complete the load recipe.If you selected User Defined Mapping, go to the next step.

3. From the load type list, click the load whose mapping you want to define.Tip: If you prefer to define the mapping using a spreadsheet rather than the Load Recipe dialog box, click Spreadsheet . Your spreadsheet application opens, and the displayed spreadsheet includes one sheet for each load type. The data in the cells must use the same syntax that appears in the mapping table in the Load Recipe dialog box. For example, to use a manual entry for entity 1 for DOF 1, you would type ME:1 in the appropriate cell in the DOF1 column in the spreadsheet. After you finish your changes, choose Add-Ins tab→Menu Commands group→Update Table and close the spreadsheet. The updated values appear in the Load Recipe dialog box.Alternatively, you can click Export to export the mapping table to a comma-separated values file, edit the mapping and save that file, and then click Import to import the data into the mapping table.

4. If no mapping data exists, or if you want to add more mapping data, click Add to add a row to the mapping table.

5. In the mapping table, select the row that contains the data that you want to update.

6. In the Row Editing group, from the Type list, select the type of entity to which to apply the load (Node, Group, Selection Recipe, Mesh, or FEM).The available options vary, depending on the load type.

7. If you know the identifier associated with the selected entity, type it in the Target box. For example, you might type the node ID or group name.Alternatively, click Target and specify the entity using the Target Selection dialog box. For example, you might select a node in the graphics window or select a group from the Simulation Navigator. When you click OK, the appropriate identifier appears in the Target box.

8. From the appropriate DOF or Pressure list, select one of the following options:Not Assigned—Applies no load to the target for the specified degree of freedom or pressure.Automatic Entity—Applies the load associated with the function in the data source that has the same identifier as the selected entity.For example, if the target is node 5, the software uses the function associated with node 5.If the model is an assembly FEM, in the Context box, type the context identifier to indicate whether the target is in the assembly FEM or a specific FEM.Manual Entity—Applies the load associated with the specified function in the data source.For example, suppose the target is node 5, but you want to use the function associated with node 8. You would select Manual Entity and type 8 in the Entity box.With this approach, you can use the same function for multiple targets.If you do not specify an entity identifier, the software uses the last entity identifier to map the function. For example, suppose you set DOF1 to Manual Entity and type 8 in the Entity box. If you then set DOF2 to Manual Entity but do not type anything in the Entity box, the software automatically uses the function associated with the preceding entity identifier: 8.Automatic Function—Applies the load associated with a named function to the target that has the same name.For example, if the function in the data source is named Function1 and the target is a selection recipe named Function1, then the load associated with that function is applied to that target.Manual Function—Applies the load associated with the specified function name.For example, suppose the target is a selection recipe named Function1, but you want to apply the load associated with a function named Function2. You would select Manual Function and type Function2 in the Function box.

9. (Optional) To remove any mapping data, select the row in the mapping table and click Delete .

Leave the Load Recipe dialog box open for the next step.
