Comments
- Sensors can be used to terminate a simulation at specific conditions with the Engine keyword /STOP/LSENSOR.
- The sensor is activated when one the following conditions is
reached:
- Maximum of nodal temperature > Tempmax during time > Tmin + Tdelay
- Minimum of nodal temperature < Tempmin during time > Tmin + Tdelay
- Average temperature of node group > Tempmean during time > Tmin + Tdelay
