a value.
-
Select a type of geometry support as the region of the model for
the sensor to measure:
Option | Description |
---|
Whole model |
Sensor measurement applies to the entire model. |
---|
Group |

Select one or more of the following parameters for the sensor to
measure:
Option | Description |
---|
Mass |
Sensor tracks the mass value for the selected geometry
support. |
---|
Volume |
Sensor tracks the volume value for the selected geometry
support. |
---|
For each part |
Sensor tracks the mass and/or volume value for each part
when
Whole model is the support. The values for
each part are displayed in the
List object within the
Mass Sensor container of the
tree. |

- Optional:
If you are measuring values for each part, double-click
List.<n> in
the tree.
The mass and volume values are listed for each part in the
whole model.
The
Mass Sensors tab of the
Feature Manager displays results for the steps, load
cases, frames, mass, and volume. The mass and volume parameters are also
displayed in the tree.
