Sensor PropertyManager

Sensor Type

Properties

Properties vary depending on the sensor type.

For Mass Properties sensors:

	Mass Properties	Select a mass properties type: Mass Volume Surface Area Center of Mass X Center of Mass Y Center of Mass Z
	Entities to Monitor	Lists the entities you want to monitor, which you select in the graphics area. Entities can include parts, solid bodies, assemblies, or components.
	Value	Lists the current value of the property.

For Dimension sensors:

	Dimension to Monitor	Lists the entities you want to monitor, which you select in the graphics area.
	Value	Lists the current value of the dimension.

For Interference Detection sensors:

	Components to Check	Lists the entities you want to monitor, which you select in the graphics area. Entities can include components or the entire assembly.
	Value	Indicates whether or not interferences are detected between the selected entities.
	Treat coincidence as interference	Reports coincident entities as interferences.
	Show ignored interferences	When selected, shows ignored interferences in gray under Results in the Interference Detection PropertyManager. When this option is cleared, ignored interferences are not listed.
	Treat subassemblies as components	When selected, sub-assemblies are treated as single components, so interferences between a sub-assembly's components are not reported.
	Include multibody part interferences	Reports interferences between bodies within multibody parts.
	Create fasteners folder	Segregates interferences between fasteners (such as a nut and bolt) into a separate folder under Results in the Interference Detection PropertyManager.

For Proximity sensors:

	Value	Indicates whether or not interferences are detected between the line you define and components you select.
	Proximity sensor location	Defines the origin of the sensing line. Select a vertex, sketch point, edge (center of edge), or face (center of face).
	Proximity sensor direction	Defines the direction of the sensing line. Select a straight edge, circular edge, sketch line, planar face, or cylindrical face. If the resulting sensing line extends in the wrong direction, click Reverse direction.
	Components to track	Lists the entities you want to monitor. Select one or more assembly or subassembly components.
	Proximity sensor range	Defines the length of the sensing line.

Alert

Alerts notify you immediately when the sensor value deviates from the limits you specify. When a sensor triggers an alert, the sensor is flagged in the FeatureManager design tree. Select Alert and set an operator and limits.

For sensors with numeric values, specify an operator and one or two numeric values. Operators include:

• is greater than
• is less than
• is exactly
• is not greater than
• is not less than
• is not exactly
• is between
• is not between
