Sensor entities are used to define and store sensors typically used in safety analysis. Sensors are shown under the Sensor folder within the Model browser.
Sensors do not have a display state.
Sensors have an active and export state. The active state of a sensor controls the listing of the sensor in the Model browser and any of its views. If a sensor entity is active, then it is listed in the Model browser and any of its views. If a sensor entity is inactive, then it is not listed in the Model browser or any of its views.
The export state of a sensor entity controls whether or not that sensor is exported when the custom export option is utilized. The all export option is not affected by the export state of a sensor. The active and export states of sensor entities can be controlled using the Entity State browser.
The data names associated with sensors can be found in the data names section of the HyperMesh Reference Guide.
The following panels can be used to create and edit sensors:
