CONTOUR PARTS WITH CURVE VALUES¶
Maps scalar values from a dataset onto LS-DYNA part thicknesses by matching part names or IDs through a user-defined mapping table, then writes updated keyword data that can be used to contour or initialise element thickness. Use this worker when you need to programmatically assign per-part thickness values from simulation results or a DOE table back into an LS-DYNA deck.
When to use¶
Classification: data.
Tagged: contour, deck_authoring, dynakeyword, element_thickness, keyword_mapping, ls-dyna, part_thickness, thickness_mapping.
Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Values To Map | valuestomap | dataset | — | Dataset whose columns contain the numeric values (e.g. thickness, strain, or any scalar KPI) to be mapped onto LS-DYNA parts; each row should correspond to a part identified by name or ID. | |
| Keyword Data | keyword_data | textarea | — | Valid LS-DYNA keyword text (inline or as a filename) that provides the baseline deck whose *SECTION / *PART thickness fields will be updated with the mapped values. | |
| Values To Map | mapping_table | textarea | — | Lookup table (text/CSV-style) that pairs part name or part ID to the corresponding key-value column name in the ‘values to map’ dataset; defines how dataset columns are routed to specific parts. | |
| Map Table Order | map_table_order | keyvalue | as_provided | Controls the order in which mapping table rows are applied; defaults to ‘as_provided’, meaning rows are processed in the order they appear in the mapping table — leave at default unless a specific ordering is required. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| dynakeyword_map_values_to_element_thickness_output_1 | dynakeyword_map_values_to_element_thickness_output_1 | text | Updated LS-DYNA keyword text with per-part element thickness values replaced by the mapped scalar values; suitable for direct inclusion in a solver deck or downstream deck-authoring workers. |
