A solution mapping algorithm in EUROPLEXUS

This report presents the implementation in the EUROPLEXUS code of the possibility of storing a solution for later re-mapping it as initial conditions for a subsequent simulation. EUROPLEXUS (also abbreviated as EPX) is a computer code jointly developed by the French Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA DMT Saclay) and by EC-JRC. The code application domain is the numerical simulation of fast transient phenomena such as explosions, crashes and impacts in complex three-dimensional uid-structure systems. The Cast3m software from CEA is used as a pre-processor to EPX when it is necessary to generate complex meshes.
