Sensors
Sensor entities define and store sensors typically used in safety analysis.
Sensors do not have a display state in the modeling window.
LS-DYNA Cards
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| *DATABASE_CPM_SENSOR | Activates an ASCII file "cpm_sensor". Its input defines sensors' locations based on the positions of some Lagrangian segments. The output gives the history of the velocity, temperature, density, and pressure averaged on the number of particles contained in the sensors. |
| *PART_SENSOR | Links part/component to a sensor to activate and deactivate during the
analysis. Note: This is supported as an attribute to an element to maintain its
associativity with element inside HyperWorks.
|
| *SENSOR_CONTROL | Applies sensor result on an entity during run. |
| *SENSOR_DEFINE_ELEMENT | Strain gauge type sensor. |
| *SENSOR_DEFINE_FORCE | Force transducer type sensor. |
| *SENSOR_DEFINE_NODE | Accelerometer type sensor. |
| *SENSOR_DEFINE_CALC-MATH | Perform mathematical calculations on sensor values. |
| *SENSOR_SWITCH | Compares sensor value with input value and gives a logical signal. |
| *SENSOR_SWITCH_CALC-LOGIC | Performs mathematical calculations on the logical signal from sensor logic. |
