Comments
- Sensors can be used to activate airbags, imposed forces, pressures, and fixed velocities.
- Sensors can be used to activate or deactivate these elements: brick, quad, shell, truss, beam, spring or 3N Shell with /ACTIV.
- For Sensor type
GAUGE:
- Sensor is activated (at Tstart) if one of the gauges gives a
presure greater than Pmin during a time greater than
Tmin.
Tsensor = Tdelay + Tstart
- Tstart is the time when pressure criteria is reached.
- Sensor is activated (at Tstart) if one of the gauges gives a
presure greater than Pmin during a time greater than
Tmin.
