.mapdsp file

The .mapdsp file is an OptiStruct ASCII format results file.

File Creation

This file is created when PARAM, LCLGRDST, <GRID_SETID> is defined in the local model during a submodeling job, where GRID_SETID is a set of nodes defined in the local model.

File Contents

This file contains the mapping information of each local node to the global nodes, for all local nodes in the grid set.

File Format

The .mapdsp file contains the subcase information in the header.
Subcase ID <Subcase_ID>
It is followed by the mapping information for each local node.
N_G1 Global nodes used in mapping for local node L1_ID
G1_ID G2_ID etc. GN i_ID etc. GN G_ID
Where,
  • Subcase_ID : Subcase ID of the local model
  • N_Gi : Number of global nodes mapped to the ith local node
  • Li_ID : ID of the local node
  • GN i_ID : ID of the ith global node

Example

An example output in the .mapdsp file is as follows:
Subcase ID             2005
       3 Global nodes used in mapping for local node            61040
    1176      1177      1197
       3 Global nodes used in mapping for local node            61041
    1176      1177      1197
       3 Global nodes used in mapping for local node            61042
    1176      1177      1197
       4 Global nodes used in mapping for local node            61043
    1156      1157      1177      1178
