Analysis > BEM Analysis
It is recommended that this option be used.
5.1.13 Analysis > Options > Async I/O
Use Windows asynchronous I/O routines – during Map3D BEM analysis.
Windows allows disk I/O to be conducted asynchronously from the BEM analysis. This is supposed
to allow disk I/O to occur in parallel with other calculations thus reducing matrix solution time.
Notes:
This function must be checked before conducting the Map3D BEM analysis
Analysis > BEM Analysis
5.1.14 Analysis > Options > Auto Repair
Attempts to repair you model by filling gaps, deleting duplicates etc.- during file load.
Model pre-processing to detect common model building errors including:
detection and automatic filling of simple gaps such as missing surfaces - highlighted in black.
detection and automatic deletion of duplicate blocks - highlighted in green.
detection of narrow gaps between adjacent blocks - highlighted in blue. The warning is generated
when ever the gap is less than 1/1000 of the element width.
detection of edges that link the wrong way to other edges - highlighted in white.
detection of edges that do not link to any other edges - highlighted in red.
detection of edges that link to too many other edges - highlighted in yellow.
The above model problems will not necessarily stop Map3D from running properly, but close
scrutiny of these locations will help user's debug problems and find unintended construction errors.
5.1.15 Analysis > Options > Batch
Set up analysis batch queue.
If the user has multiple models that need to be run, these can be specified in this batch queue. By
selecting
Analysis > Options > Batch > Execute Batch Queue
all checked models will be run without any request for interactive response from the user.
When you check a batch file for execution you will be prompted to search for a model file name,
location, and file format. If the search is successful, the model will be checked.
The second column in the Batch File Setup dialogue box allows you to set analysis options if
desired. These setting override any options set in the Analysis > Options dialogue box.
Notes:
Batch model files names are saved and restored each time Map3D is executed.
Model files that are not checked will not be executed in batch mode.
The batch queue can be interrupted at any time simply by aborting the current analysis
