          APDL Command: MAP2DTO3D
  
          Parameters
          ----------
          action
              The 2-D to 3-D action to perform:
  
              START - Start the analysis process by rebuilding the 2-D analysis database (.db) based
                      on the specified load step and substep information, and
                      update nodes to their deformed positions in the 2-D mesh.
  
              FINISH - Maps solution variables from the 2-D mesh to the extruded 3-D mesh.
  
          ldstep
              The load step number at which 2-D to 3-D analysis should occur. The
              default value is the highest load step number found in the
              Jobname.Rnnn files (for the current jobname and in the current
              directory).
  
          sbstep
              The substep number of the specified load step (LDSTEP) at which the
              2-D to 3-D analysis should occur. The default value is the highest
              substep number found in the specified load step in the Jobname.Rnnn
              files (for the current jobname and in the current directory).
  
          option
              Mapping option:
  
              (Blank) - Transfer and map all applied boundary conditions, nodal temperatures, loads,
                        and surface pressures from the 2-D mesh to the extruded
                        3-D mesh. This behavior is the default.
  
              NOBC - No applied boundary conditions or loads are transferred from the 2-D mesh to
                     the extruded 3-D mesh. Nodal temperatures (defined via the
                     BF,TEMP command) are transferred.
  
          Notes
          -----
          The MAP2DTO3D command initiates the 2-D to 3-D analysis process, sets
          analysis options, rebuilds the database, and maps the solution
          variables from the 2-D mesh to the 3-D mesh.
  
          Before issuing this command, clear the database (/CLEAR).
  
          The LDSTEP and SBSTEP values apply only when Action = START.
  
          For more information, see 2-D to 3-D Analysis in the Advanced Analysis
          Guide.
  
          Distributed ANSYS Restriction: This command is not supported in
