Continuous Temperature or Displacement Mapping from a Results File to a New Model |
1. | Import the model containing the new mesh into HyperMesh. |
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. |
4. | In the Model browser, Field folder, right-click on the field entity and select Realize from the context menu. |
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. |
g. | Click Apply. Temperatures from the result file are mapped to the new mesh. |
6. | Click Contour to view the contour for each load case (select the correct load case). |
7. | Click Report to view the values in a table format. |
