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 HyperMesh.
*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.

Nastran

MONPNT1	Defines an integrated load monitor point at a point (x,y,z) in a user defined coordinate system.
MONPNT2	Element Monitor Output Results Item.
MONPNT3	Sums select Grid Point Forces to a user chosen monitor point.
