Model Mapping Window

The Model Mapping window appears when loading a SimVT settings file from the Correlation Setup window. It is used to "Map" the model tags defined in the setting file to the models (or data sources) which are defined in SimVT.

Mapping to Existing Data

In SimVT, existing data sources (i.e. those listed in the model list and imported data list) are represented by their model tag. For example, Ansys LS-DYNA models will be labelled M1, M2 etc. and ISO-MME and CSV data will be tagged T1, T2 etc. In the model mapping window you can select existing data sources using the selector arrow at the end of the file path textboxes. For example, you may have loaded the Ansys LS-DYNA models and imported data source in a different order to the order when the settings file was created. Alternatively, you may want to change which data source is used as the reference test. In the example below T2 was the reference test in the settings file, but it has been mapped to T1 which will become the reference test when Apply is clicked.

Note: You can use the checkboxes under load column to select which models to load, by default all models are selected for loading.

You cannot map the same data source multiple times and the file path textboxes will turn red to indicate the issue (e.g. M1 and M2 in the settings file cannot both map to the existing M1 model).

Mapping to New Data

It is possible to import ISO-MME data and CSV data directly from the model mapping window. You can paste the path to the data into the file path textbox or you can click on the file selector and open it from there. In the example below T1 has been remapped to T3 which is a new CSV data source and T2 has been remapped to T4 which is a new ISO-MME data source. Note that the data for T3 and T4 will not be imported until Apply is clicked.

You can also load new Ansys LS-DYNA results into T/HIS from the Model Mapping window. The Ansys LS-DYNA models will not be imported until Apply is clicked. If your model does not have Automotive Assessments Workflow Data (AAWD) you will need to provide a CSV config which describes the channel entity-id pairings and select the appropriate unit system and vehicle drive side. The steps to follow are:

• Choose which of the original model tags (i.e. from the settings file) you want to remap with new Ansys LS-DYNA results.
• Use the file selector to select the Ansys LS-DYNA results file (or paste the path into the file path textbox)
• Select the unit system [1]
• Select the vehicle drive side [2] (LHD is default)
• Use the file selector to select the CSV config file (or paste the path into the CSV Config file textbox) [3].
