30.7.3.1. Modeling Options

The user can create a tension sensor as follows.

• Point, Distance

  • Point: Selects a point on a body to define the center of tension sensor.

  • Distance: Defines a range of region to measure output.

  Note

  The user should define the sensing target entity by using Tension Sensor property page.

• Body, Point, Distance

  • Body: Selects a body to define the parent body of tension sensor.

  • Point: Selects a point to define the center of tension sensor.

  • Distance: Defines a range of region to measure output.

  Note

  The user should define the sensing target entity by using Tension Sensor property page.

• Assembled Body, Point, Distance

  • Assembled Body: Selects an assembly as a target entity.

  • Point: Selects a point to define the center of tension sensor.

  • Distance: Defines a range of region to measure output.

• Body, Assembled Body, Point, Distance

  • Body: Selects a body to define the parent body of tension sensor.

  • Assembled Body: Selects an assembly as a target entity.

  • Point: Selects a point to define the center of tension sensor.

  • Distance: Defines a range of region to measure output.
