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 types
SENS:
- The sensor is activated after activation of sensor sens_ID1.
- Minimum activation duration is given by Tdelay.
- After Tdelay, sensor is deactivated if sens_ID2 is activated.
- If sens_ID2=0, the sensor
is deactivated after Tdelay.
