.. _auto_keyvalue_generate_part_contours:

*CONTOUR PARTS WITH CURVE VALUES*
=================================

Maps scalar values from a dataset onto LS-DYNA model parts and renders a colour-fringe contour image or Peacock3D scene. Use it to visualise per-part KPIs (e.g. intrusion, energy, mass) directly on the geometry without running a full post-processing pipeline.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Inputs

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label

     - Type
     - Default
     - Required
     - Description
   * - Values To Map
     - valuestomap
     - dataset
     - —
     - 
     - Dataset whose columns carry the per-part scalar values (e.g. KPIs, responses) that will be colour-mapped onto the geometry; leave empty if values are supplied via the mapping table directly.
   * - Generation Type
     - generation_type
     - scalar
     - image
     - 
     - Output format: 'image' renders a static PNG fringe plot; 'peacock3d' produces an interactive Peacock3D scene — default is 'image'.
   * - Keyword Data
     - keyword_data
     - textarea
     - —
     - 
     - Valid LS-DYNA keyword text or a filename pointing to keyword data that defines the part geometry/IDs used as the contouring mesh.
   * - Values To Map
     - mapping_table
     - textarea
     - —
     - 
     - Tabular text (CSV-style) mapping part names or part IDs to key-value names in the dataset, controlling which value is painted on each part.
   * - Map Table Order
     - map_table_order
     - keyvalue
     - as_provided
     - 
     - Controls the ordering of entries in the mapping table; currently only 'as_provided' is supported, which preserves the row order as given.
   * - Fringe Min Color
     - fringe_min_color
     - scalar
     - 0.0
     - 
     - Minimum scalar value anchoring the colour scale (dimensionless or user-defined units); values at or below this threshold are rendered in the lowest fringe colour — default is 0.0.
   * - Fringe Max Color
     - fringe_max_color
     - scalar
     - 1.0
     - 
     - Maximum scalar value anchoring the colour scale (dimensionless or user-defined units); values at or above this threshold are rendered in the highest fringe colour — default is 1.0.
   * - Fringe Min Value
     - fringe_min_value
