Defining Sensors
You define sensors to monitor result quantities at a set of locations,
mass properties of components or bodies, interferences between components
for assemblies, and dimensions.
Use Workflow Sensitive sensors
to:
To define a Simulation Data sensor:
In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click
Sensors
and select
Add Sensor.
In the PropertyManager,
under Sensor Type
, select Simulation Data.
Under Data Quantity
select:
A result quantity in Results
.
A result component in Component
.
If applicable, a reference plane, axis or
coordinate system for Plane, Axis or
Coordinate System
.
Under Properties
select:
Unit system in Units
.
A variable in Criterion
.
If applicable, select
geometric entities in
Components
, Bodies, Faces, Edges, or Vertices for Sensor.
Check the Factor
of Safety box to track the factor of safety of the selected result
quantity. Type a value in the Enter limit
value box.
Check the Alert
box to let the program notify you when results deviate from the limits
you set here.
Click
to save the sensor.
To define a WorkFlow Sensitive sensor:
In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click
Sensors
and select
Add Sensor.
In the PropertyManager,
under Sensor Type
, select Simulation Data
Under Data Quantity,
select Workfow Sensitive in Results
.
Under Properties,
select in the graphics area a vertex or point in Point
or Vertex for sensor.
Click
to save the sensor.
To define a sensor when probing a model:
In the Probe
Result PropertyManager, populate the Results
list with nodes or elements.
Under Report
Options, click Save as Sensor
.
In the dialog box, type a name for the sensor
and click OK.
