A sensor stores a maximum von Mises stress value (F).

CR =1 sensor parameter (read in Starter by sensor user’s subroutine LECSEN_USRm)

F = 1 sensor variable (written to sensor buffer by material user’s subroutine SIGESPnn)

Sensor is activated in F > CR. The activation time of the sensor is displayed.
