Hello
I'm simulating the deformation of a spherical shell like a part. Following the different stress simulations, I would like to recover the new radius of curvature of the sphere (ideally on a selected portion of the surface).
No worries to create a dimension sensor and display the radius of curvature on a selected portion of surface but how to follow the evolution of the sensor after simulation?
Thank you for your help

Hello @cedric.siourakan
Well I didn't understand everything (see what is underlined
[[ No worries to create a dimension sensor and display the radius of curvature on a selected portion of surface but how to follow the evolution of the sensor after simulation ? ]]
Gloupsss! Once the simulation is finished, you have a fixed result and not a dynamic one.
Can you specify your need STP before Covid screws up my neurons.
Kind regards
PS: some screenshots to illustrate what you are saying would surely be welcome
Hello
I call follow, it's either the sensor updates following the simulation (not dynamically indeed) or I add a sensor on the deformed surface.
The sensor is on the split surface (blue circle)
and after simulation the radius of curvature having changed how to put a new sensor on the deformed part, or make sure that the initial sensor measurement is updated after simulation?
Thank you

Good evening Cédric
Your problem does not seem simple to me but solvable.
What do you think of the following solution: On your circle, which I suppose is artificial, you have to note the Name or rather the Number of a certain number of nodes. It is possible to track the state of a node between two simulations (there is a tool that allows you to track one or more nodes in particular).
Knots are not easily renamed unless you completely upset the part or the mesh conditions, which doesn't seem to be the case for you.
So it's up to you to put the number of nodes you want under surveillance by name. So you can monitor the state of the nodes between two simulations. Then you can export the different versions in excel and compare them if the SW tools are not enough for you.
Kind regards
Hello
Yes an idea like this had crossed my mind, rebuilding a circle from 3 knots and recovering the radius of the circle,
or (which I did in the meantime) generate the deformed body and measure the radius on the new body.
In any case, thank you for looking into the question.
Kind regards
