Parameter definition
Variable
Description
coid
Sensor ID
pid
Marks is the sensors are attached to specific part or if they are embedded in the CFD domain
pathid
ID of PATH along which the sensors are positioned
$N$
Number of sensors along the path $(N \geq 2)$
Description
This command defines a number of (equidistantly distributed) sensors along a pre-defined PATH. The sensors are either embedded in the CFD domain or attached to a specific part. CFD sensor signals are written to the binary file sensor_cfd_path.bout and FE signals to sensor_path.bout.
Finite Element path sensors sample and output coordinate, displacement, velocity, effective stress, pressure, effective plastic strain, temperature and surface pressure.
CFD path sensors output coordinate, pressure, density and temperature.
Example
Path sensor in CFD domain
Example with 20 sensors distributed along a straight path in a CFD domain.
