2.In the Model browser, right-click and select Create > Field from the context menu.
3.In the Entity Editor, edit the field's corresponding attributes.
a.Set Type to continuous.
b.Set System type to real.
c.Set Source to results.
d.In the File field, locate the results file with temperatures or displacements.
Note:Result files can be: .opt, .odb, .xdb, or any HyperView results file.

5.In the Field Realization dialog, define realization settings.
a.Using the Entity selector set to Node, select target nodes (nodal temperature loads) to be mapped.
b.Set Field type to temperature.
c.Set Interpolation to shape function.
d.Under Loadcases, select loadcases to transfer.
Note:For every load case selected, a new load will be created.
e.Under DataTypes, select the temperature.
f.Under DataComponents, select scalar values or displacement x, y, and z values.
