Unit
|
Select the units for the
Simulation quantity |
 |
Criterion |
Model Max
|
Maximum algebraic value across model
|
Model Min
|
Minimum algebraic value across model
|
Model Average
|
Average value across model
|
Max over Selected Entities
|
Maximum algebraic value over selected
entities defined in the Components, Bodies, Faces, Edges or
Vertices box
|
Min over Selected Entities
|
Minimum
algebraic value over selected entities defined in the
Components, Bodies,
Faces, Edges or Vertices box
|
Average of Selected Entities
|
Average value over selected entities
defined in the Components,
Bodies, Faces, Edges or Vertices box
|
RMS over Selected Entities
|
Root mean square value over selected
entities defined in the Components, Bodies, Faces, Edges or
Vertices box
|
|
|
Step
Criterion |
Across All Steps
|
Tracks the Simulation data value across
all steps for the entire model or for the selected
entities and reports a single value. For example, if you
select Model Max
for Criterion, the sensor reports the maximum value in
the model across all steps.
|
At Specific Plot Step
|
Tracks the Simulation data value at the
specified plot step based on the plot number you
specify. You can control the number of plot steps and
step interval using the Result Options PropertyManager.
|
Transient
|
Available for transient studies
(nonlinear, linear dynamics, transient thermal, and drop
test). Tracks the Simulation data across time or
frequency solution steps. To list
the data stored in a transient sensor, right-click
the sensor icon under Sensors

and select List. To view 2D
graphs of the results stored in transient sensors,
right-click the sensor icon under Sensors
and select Graph.
|
At Specific Mode Shape
|
This option is available only for the
frequency and buckling sensors. Specifies the mode
number at which the sensor tracks the result.

selected entities. |
 |
Connectors |
Available only when connectors
are defined and Connector
Force is selected under Data Quantity.
- All
pins
- All
bolts
- All
bearings
- Individual
connector
|
 |
Select Bodies, Faces, Edges, Vertices or Reference
Points |
Available when Workflow Sensitive is selected
under Data Quantity. Values
are monitored across all solution steps for the selected entities.
