You can apply a pressure that has different values at
different points on the model.
Before you begin: You must have your
spatially mapped data prepared. The mapped data should specify different
pressure values at various points in space.
-
From the
Loads section of the
action bar,
click
Pressure
.
- Optional:
Enter a descriptive
Name.
-
Select the geometry supports in the model.
A pressure must be applied to one or more faces.
- Optional:
If the geometry supports include surface geometry, click
to change the side of the surfaces on which the pressure
is applied.
-
Set the
Field variation type to
Mapped spatial data.
-
Click
Table.
The
Pressure Distribution dialog box opens,
where you can enter or import the mapped pressure values.
-
Choose the
Data source for the mapped pressure values:
- Table:
Enter or import the mapped data into the table.
-
Referenced document: Select a 3DEXPERIENCE document that contains the mapping data. Click to search for the
document in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform database. For details about the required file format, see Mapping Data File Formats.
Changes in the referenced document are taken into account
every time the simulation is run.
-
If
Data source is set to
Table, specify the mapped data in the table:
- To import the data, right-click anywhere in
the table and select Import. For details about
the required file format, see Mapping Data File Formats.
- To enter the
data manually, double-click in each cell and enter a value. For example, enter
X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates and the corresponding pressure
Value in each row of the table.
-
Enter the
Pressure outside the mapped region. This is
a default pressure value.
The simulation attempts to map all of the source data points
and their associated pressure values onto points in the target model. For any
target points where the simulation cannot map to a source point, it will
substitute this default value.
-
Select an
Axis system definition for the coordinates
of the mapped data values.
-
Global: Aligns the local feature
triad with the global coordinate system.
-
Local: Aligns the local feature triad with
a selected axis system in the model.
Using a custom local axis system simplifies the
three-dimensional definition of points in spaceāthe X-, Y-, Z-coordinates are
interpreted in the context of the local coordinate system.
- Optional:
Select
Plot Data to display symbols that indicate
the locations and magnitudes of the mapped values on the model.
- Optional:
To adjust the search control parameters, expand the Search
tolerance.
See Mapping Search Controls and Mapping Search Control Options for descriptions of these parameters.
