Definitions
| Field | Contents | SI Unit Example |
|---|---|---|
| SID | Unique sensor
identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
| STYPE | Sensor type.
No default |
|
| LSID | Load set identification
number of a QBDY1 or QVOL Bulk Data Entry. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
| GID | Grid or scalar point
identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
| LBOUND/LTID | Lower bound of the
temperature range, or the table identification number of a
TABLEDi entry which specifies the lower bound
as a function of time. No default (Real or Integer) |
|
| UBOUND/UTID | Upper bound of the
temperature range, or the table identification number of a
TABLEDi entry which specifies the upper bound
as a function of time. No default (Real or Integer) |
Comments
- A SENSOR can only be activated once. Sensor with TYPE=TEMP is supported only for Transient (linear and nonlinear) Heat Transfer analysis.
- The presence of the SENSOR Bulk Data Entry with TYPE=TEMP turns off the referenced LSID loading outside the defined temperature range and turns on the LSID loading inside the temperature range (LBOUND/LTID to UBOUND/UTID).
