executive_control copy sensor
Allows you to copy a sensor.
Format:
executive_control copy sensor |
|---|
sensor_name = | Name of existing sensor |
sew_sensor_name = | Name of new sensor |
Example:
executive_control copy sensor & |
|---|
sensor_name = | SENSOR_1 & |
sew_sensor_name = | My_Copied_Sensor |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
Sensor_name | Existing sensor name | Specifies the sensor to be copied |
New_sensor_name | Name of new sensor | Specifies the name of the new sensor. You may use this name later to refer to this sensor. |
Extended Definition:
1. You may identify a sensor by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
Since sensors do not have a geometric position, Adams View displays sensor icons at or near the model origin. If the sensor icon is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the sensor icon is displayed.
If you created the sensor by reading an Adams data set, the sensor name is the letters SEN followed by the Adams data set sensor ID number. For example, the name of Adams SENSOR/101 is SEN101. If you created the sensor during preprocessing, you will have given it a name at that time.
If a sensor is owned by the default model, you may identify it by entering only its name. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify a sensor under a different model, for instance, you may need to enter the model name as well. For example, you may specify sensor 'fluid_volume_limit' from model 'hydro' by entering ".hydro.fluid_volume_limit'". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the sensor available by default.
You must separate multiple sensor names by commas.
If the sensor is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
You need not separate multiple sensor picks by commas.
