Sensors

A sensor is a physical output of a computation, optionally limited to a local area, on which you can apply a post-treatment.
You can get a synthesis of analysis results by creating sensors.

A sensor can produce two kinds of results, depending on the sensor definition and on the analysis case:

  • knowledge parameters (single value or list of values): the sensor set provides parameters that can be re-used in Knowledgeware in order to set rules, checks, formulas and Product Engineering Optimizer workbench.
  • 2D Display (only in multi-occurrence case): allows you to display the variation of an output for different occurrences.
