Create a Spatial Field/Table in HM
I have a spatial pressure distribution which I want to import as load in to HM. I am aware of Linear Interpolation -> Using File feature but I believe the structure of the File content should be X, Y, Z, Pressure value.
In my case, I have X, Y and Pressure Value but not Z. This is how the load values came...Is there anyway I can create an elemental or nodal pressure distribution?
Not sure if this is gonna help...in MSC Patran, we used to create a Spatial Fields (essentially a tabular format) using the above and use point out to the Field during Pressure application. I want to do as much pre-processing as possible in HW/HM and hence the question.

Actually, the values represent pressure distribution on upper & lower aerodynamic surfaces. The surfaces are contoured and have variation in Z.
To be honest, I am not really sure how the above format i.e. the absence of Z coords is handled in Patran Fields, but it does give accurate pressure distribution. I will try to find out but its gonna be hard since the values were generated else where and was told that we are not privy to that info.
Hi, where you able to solve this problem? I am having the same problem right now.
You don't have 'Z' so you work on 2D mapping?
Try to add a constant value as Z-coordinate to fit required format of Hypermesh?
