Design of Load Mapping workflow specification Mapped Data Mapping Stage Data flow To Input File (default) During Import Mechanical →Perform mapping→ Write the data tables in input file MAPDL →Read data tables→ Create Load Tables in memory Computed By Solver (Beta) During Solve Mechanical→Generate DPF workflow file → Write DPF load commands in input file MAPDL → Perform mapping → Transfer data using DPF → Create Load Tables in memory To Binary File (Beta) Before writing input file Mechanical→ Perform mapping → Generate Binary File & DPF workflow file →Write DPF load commands in input file MAPDL → Read Binary file using DPF→ Create Load Tables in memory Mapped Data Advantage Disadvantage To Input File (default) • Mapped data available at all points for review • Huge input file size • More time for import • More time for input file writing • More time for solve (pre-processing by MAPDL) Computed By Solver (Beta) • Less input file size as load tables replaced with DPF load commands • Instant Import for Display Mapped Data = Off option • Mapped data available at selected points for review • Requires the original source file during solve. To Binary File (Beta) • Less input file size as load tables replaced with DPF load commands • Instant Import for Display Mapped Data = Off option • Mapped data available at selected points for review
