Properties

Figure 1  Event Sensor property page

•     Mother Body: Defines the body on which the Event Sensor is fixed.

•     Sensed Entity: Defines the sensed entity by the Event Sensor of MTT3D.

•    If MTT3DAssembly is set, all sheets defined in the assembly become a sensing target.

•    If a sheet body is set, only the sheet becomes a sensing target.

•     Position: Defines the center point of Event Sensor. The user can input this value as the Parametric Point.

•     Range: Defines the detecting range of Event Sensor. The user can input this value as the Parametric Value.

•     Use Marker: Allows the user to set a marker for the Event Sensor.

•     Type

•    When "Use Marker" is deactivated, the user can select three types as Head, Tail and On/Off. For more information, refer to Definition for EventSensor with Assembly or a Sheet.

•    When “Use Marker” is activated, the user can select three types as IN, OUT and On/Off. For more information, refer to Definition for EventSensor with a Marker.

•     Color: Allows selecting the graphic color of Event Sensor.

•     Use Depth Information: Defines the sensing region by using the Normal Direction and Depth. The shape of sensing region is the cylinder type defined by the end point (Position), the radius (Range), the length (Depth), the lengthwise direction (Normal Direction) as shown in Figure 2.

•    If this option is not used, the depth is set a default value. Please, refer to the following table.
