RESULT MAPPING
The purpose of this function is two-fold:
To map forming results to the car position part mesh for
structure analysis.
To tip a blank without interfering with the thickness or
strain/stress information.
Before using the RESULT MAPPING function, the user must
import the desired (targeted) part mesh in Nastran format into the eta/DYNAFORM
database. The deformed blank (forming results) in DYNAIN format should then be
read into the database. The user will continue to carry out the RESULT MAPPING
operation using the dialog window as shown in Figure 9.7.2. If there is no
DYNAIN file read into the current database, the RESULT MAPPING function is
disabled.
The procedure for RESULT MAPPING i
s as follows:
Click both the FROM and TO buttons to select the deformed blank and the
desired (targeted) part mesh.
Toggle ON COORDINATE TRANSFORM, then define (select buttons) or input
(already existing) two coordinate system IDs to align the deformed part to
the desired (targeted) part.
If the deformed blank is not aligned to the new blank, select INCREMENTAL
ADJUSTMENT to adjust the position of the deformed blank. The user can input
or define a C.S ID. Then, input the value and select the direction (U, V, W,
RU, RV, RW). The user can click the (+) and (-) buttons to manually adjust
the deformed blank position. After aligning the two parts, select MAP to
complete the RESULT MAPPING operation.
Select RESET to return the deformed part to the original position, and
select EXIT to dismiss the RESULT MAPPING dialog window without mapping the
results.
