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
