Transfer Axis Symmetric Model Temperature/Pressure Data in a .csv File to a 3D Model

Use this method to map data from an axis symmetric model to a 3D model. An axis symmetric model may contain nodal temperatures or pressures in the R,Z plane. You will need an axis symmetric mesh, and the data in a .csv file. This data can be mapped to a full 3D model.

Axis symmetric model with temperature/pressure values in .csv file

Limitation: 3D model nodes when rotated to the R,Z plane, should fall inside the axis symmetric model.

1.	In the Model browser, right-click and select Create > Field from the context menu.

2.	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 current model.

d.	Set Data source type to value from file.

e.	In the File field, open the .csv file.

f.	Select the system in which the .csv file x,y,z data is created ( default is global).

g.	Select elements from the current model.

3.	After creating the model, delete the current model (not the field).

4.	Import the new model into HyperMesh.

5.	Import the new 3D model (target model).

6.	In the Model browser, right-click on the field entity you just created and select Realize from the context menu.

7.	In the Field Realization dialog, define realization settings.

a.	Using the Entity: Element/Nodes selector, select the elements/nodes to be mapped.

b.	Set Filed type to Pressure/temperate.

c.	Set Interpolation method to shape function or proximity.

d.	Click cyclic symmetric, and select the cylindrical system where axis symmetric mesh resides.
