Defining a Transient Sensor

With a transient sensor, you can track simulation results for the whole model or selected model entities across all solution steps of a transient study. After your run the study, you can list and create graph plots of the data stored by the transient sensor.

1. Create a transient study (nonlinear, dynamic, transient thermal, or drop test)
2. In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click Sensors and select Add Sensor.
3. In the PropertyManager:
   1. Under Sensor Type , select Simulation Data.
   2. Under Data Quantity, select the result quantity to track with the sensor.
   3. Under Properties, select a Criterion . Select Transient for Step Criterion.
   4. Click .

      A new sensor icon is created under Sensors.
