1.Import the model containing the new mesh into Engineering Solutions.

entity_field_case2_4

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 discrete.
b.Set System type to real.
c.Set Source to csv file.
d.In the File field, locate the .csv results file with temperatures or pressures.

entity_field_case2_1

4.In the Model browser, right-click on the field entity and select Realize from the context menu.

entity_field_case2_2

5.In the Field Realization dialog, define realization settings.
a.Using the Entity selector set to Node, select nodes to be mapped.
b.Set Field type to temperature.
c.Set Interpolation to proximity (finds the closest nodes) or linear (finds nodes using the inverse distance average).
d.In the Tolerance field, enter the perpendicular projection tolerance. Nodes outside of this limit will not be mapped (limitation in 14.0).
Note:Nodes outside of this limit will not be mapped.
