Sensor#

class ansys.acp.core.Sensor(*, name='Sensor', sensor_type='sensor_by_area', active=True, entities=())#

Instantiate a Sensor.

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of the sensor.
sensor_type (SensorType) – Type of sensor: The sensor can be scoped by area, material, plies, or solid model.
active (bool) – Inactive sensors are not evaluated.
entities (Sequence[Fabric | Stackup | SubLaminate | ElementSet | OrientedSelectionSet | ModelingPly]) – List of entities which define the sensor’s scope.

Added in ACP server version 24.2.

Methods

`Sensor.clone`(*[, unlink])	Create a new unstored object with the same properties.
`Sensor.delete`()	Delete the object.
`Sensor.store`(parent)	Store the object on the server.

Attributes

`Sensor.center_of_gravity`	The center of gravity of the selected entity in the global coordinate system.
`Sensor.covered_area`	The surface area of a selected Element Set / Oriented Selection Set, or the tooling surface area that is covered by the composite layup of the selected Material or Modeling Ply.
`Sensor.entities`
`Sensor.id`	Identifier of the object, used for example as key in maps.
`Sensor.locked`
`Sensor.modeling_ply_area`	The surface area of all Modeling Plies of the selected entity.
`Sensor.name`	The name of the object.
`Sensor.parent`	The parent of the object.
`Sensor.price`	The price for the composite layup of the selected entity.
`Sensor.production_ply_area`	The surface area of all production plies of the selected entity.
`Sensor.sensor_type`
`Sensor.status`
`Sensor.weight`	The mass of the selected entity.
