CSV Configuration Window

CSV Configuration Window

When “Assign config” is clicked on the Correlation Setup window, the CSV Configuration window will appear. The window enables you to load a CSV configuration file and preview any warnings or errors with your CSV file data before you actually assign it to an Ansys LS-DYNA model.

Steps to assign a config file:

1. Select an Ansys LS-DYNA model from the model list that has no Automotive Assessment Workflow Data (AAWD) or CSV config data assigned (i.e. only the model tag will be listed (e.g. "M2"))

2. Click on  “Assign config”, CSV Configuration Window will open.

3. Select the unit system from the drop-down

4. Select the vehicle drive side (LHD is default)

5. Click “Load” and open a CSV file with the correct configuration file format. The Load button will change to say OK when a config CSV file has been loaded.

6. Check the messages that appear in the window to ensure that the loaded config CSV has no errors and that it has successfully mapped channel data.

7. If some of the parsing messages require attention click Cancel and update the CSV before repeating the steps. Note, you can cancel the CSV assignment by clicking Cancel at any stage.

8. If you happy to proceed with assigning the CSV config, click OK.

Checking Parsing Messages

When the configuration file is loaded, messages will appear in the window. Each row is coloured according to the parsing status:

  • White means that all the inputs were valid and that the model contains the entity and ID specified
  • Red means there was an error with one or more inputs on the line
  • Grey means that the model did not contain data for the entity type and ID (e.g., node 1001 below).
  • Orange means that there was something wrong with the line, but it may still be possible to parse the line.
Messages can be hidden by unchecking the corresponding status in Message Options to make it easier to find problematic rows. 

If show CSV line is selected then the messages will show each row of the CSV file.

   

If show explanation is selected then the messages will explain the reason for the status. This is especially useful if there is an error with the CSV data which causes the line to be skipped. It can also help in identifying where an incorrect entity type or id has been provided in the config CSV so that it can be corrected before loading in the CSV again.
