MAP2DTO3D

MAP2DTO3D

MAP2DTO3D, Action, VALUE1, VALUE2
Initiates a 2-D to 3-D analysis and maps variables.

SOLUTION: 2-D to 3-D Analysis

Action

The 2-D to 3-D analysis action to perform:

START

—

Start the analysis process by rebuilding the 2-D analysis database (.db) based on the specified load step and substep information, and update nodes to their deformed positions in the 2-D mesh.

*`VALUE1`*	—	The load step number at which 2-D to 3-D analysis should occur. The default value is the highest load step number found in the Jobname.R`nnn` files (for the current jobname and in the current directory).
*`VALUE2`*	—	The substep number of the specified load step (`VALUE1`) at which the 2-D to 3-D analysis should occur. The default value is the highest substep number found in the specified load step in the Jobname.R`nnn` files (for the current jobname and in the current directory).

FINISH

—

Maps boundary conditions and loads from the 2-D mesh to the extruded 3-D mesh. (VALUE1 and VALUE2 are not used.)

SOLVE

—

Map nodal and element solutions from 2-D to 3-D and rebalance the results.

VALUE1

—

The maximum number of substeps allowed during rebalancing. Default = 500.

Notes

The MAP2DTO3D command initiates the 2-D to 3-D analysis process, sets analysis options, rebuilds the database, and maps the solution variables from the 2-D mesh to the 3-D mesh.

Before issuing this command, clear the database (/CLEAR).

For more information, see 2-D to 3-D Analysis in the Mechanical APDL Advanced Analysis Guide.
