This task shows you how to create global sensors, available for the entire
model. |
 |
The global sensors can be used either in a mono-occurrence
solution (static solution, combined solution) or multi-occurrence solution
(multi loads static solution, frequency solution, buckling solution). |

-
Open the
sample08.CATAnalysis document from the samples directory for this
task.
-
Compute all the solutions.
To do this, click Compute
and select the All option.
Mono-occurrence Solution
|
 |
-
Set the Static Case as the current one.
-
Right-click Sensors.1 in the specification
tree and select Create Global Sensor.
The Create Sensors dialog box appears.
 |
-
Select the desired global sensor.
In this particular case, select the Energy
global sensor. |
-
Click OK.
An Energy object appears in the
specification tree.

You can edit a parameter to change the name or to
visualize the associated value.
To do this:
-
Update
the sensor you just created.
-
Double-click the knowledge parameter in the
specification tree.
The Edit Parameter dialog box appears.
 |
-
Click OK.
You can display the value of knowledge parameters in
the specification tree.
To know more, refer to Displaying Values of
Sensors. |
Multi-occurrence Solution
|
 |
-
Set the Frequency Case as the current one.
-
Right-click Sensors.2 in the specification
tree and select Create Global Sensor.
The Create Sensor dialog box appears. |
-
Select Frequency and click OK.
A Frequency.1 sensor appears in the
specification tree under the Sensor.2 object.
 |
-
Edit the frequency global sensor.
To do this, double-click Frequency.1 in
the specification tree.
The Global Sensor dialog box appears.

- Name: lets you change the name of the sensor.
- Occurrences: lets you preserve the selected
occurrences.
To know more, refer to Selecting
Occurrences.
|
-
Select the All as Occurrences
option.
You can visualize the occurrences you have chosen.
To do this, click Edit Filtered Occurrences
.
The Solution dialog box appears.
 |
-
Click OK in the Solution dialog box and then
in the Global Sensor dialog box.
-
Update the
Frequency global sensor.
-
Double-click the Frequency List object in the
specification tree.
The List Edition dialog box appears.
 |
-
Click OK in the List Edition dialog box.
