Creating Sensors (Frequency Analysis Case)

Frequency Analysis Case

This task shows you how to access knowledge output values by adding them into a set called Sensors.

	Sensors Set
	Output Information

You can use the Sample10.CATAnalysis document from the samples directory for this task.

Before You Begin:

	Go to `View -> Render Style -> Customize View` and make sure the `Shading, Outlines` and `Materials` options are active in the Custom View Modes dialog box.
	Activate the `Von Mises Stress (nodal value)` image by right-clicking on this feature in the specification tree and selecting the `Activate/Deactivate` option from the contextual menu. A warning appears to let you know that the solution needs to be updated. Click `OK` in the warning box.

Sensors Set

The Sensors Frequencies set feature appears by default in the specification tree.

Output Information

1. If needed, double-click on the Frequency 1 set in the specification tree to have the output information available via the Output Values dialog box.

The Output Values dialog box displays a list that corresponds to the functions available in Knowledgeware. These functions are available without having to enter the Formula command. The function is automatically valued according to the current session. Knowledgeware output parameters are created:

FrequencyRepresents the frequency value

	If the sensor is not up-to-date, you will get a warning message that let you know that to have the current solution be computed and the sensor be updated, you must use the `Compute All` command.
	The Output Values dialog box displays the body of the measure which corresponds, in Knowledgeware, to the signature of the function.
	The `Parameter` default name can be edited. For this, double-click on the parameter value, modify the name and click `OK` in the Output Values dialog box to have the new name actually taken into account.

2. Click Close in the Output Values dialog box once you are satisfied with the information.

3. If needed, double-click on the Frequencies set in the specification tree to have the output information on all the frequencies available via the Output Values dialog box.
