Summary


Details

User is attempting to create a Thermal Target Zone in a mapping solution. 

The Thermal Association Zone listing is empty. The Update Zones command does 

not display the zones created in the thermal model. What is missing?

Solution

 The zone information is stored in the .map file. This file must exist, and 

must have the same name as the .bun file the mapping solution is referencing. 

If the customer is running the thermal solution via an INPF file, the mapping 

file will *not* be created automatically. The customer can create the mapping 

file at any time, even after the solution is run, via the file - export - 

simulation - Mapping Constraint File. Once this file is exported, it will need 

to be renamed to match the bun file. Then the Thermal Target Zones can be 

created as desired. Again the solution does *not* need to be rerun after the 

Mapping file is created as long as the mesh has not changed.
