Capture Fields Anywhere

Save fields on any point, surface, or volume in your project.

 

Key Features

  • Near-zone sensors can be attached to any geometric part or surface
  • Non-geometric sensors can be points, planes, rectangles, or boxes
  • Visualize far-zone sensors around the geometry

XF7 gives you more options for saving output data than ever before. Sensors are used to capture fields only where you need them. They can be attached to points, surfaces or even volumes. Each sensor saves only the fields that you request allowing you to save only as much output data as you need.


Far-zone sensors are drawn around the geometry, allowing you to visualize the angles being saved. And when viewing far-zone result data, all the post-processing controls are integrated with the field viewing controls.


Near-zone sensors can be attached to geometric parts, which means that as the part moves, the sensor moves along with it. You can also create near-zone sensors assigned to a plane, rectangular shape, or a volumetric box. Each sensor can save a different set of fields, and at different time intervals.


Output data is also stored in a very efficient way, using less disk space and less disk writing activity during simulations. This means that you can save more data than before without running out of disk space.
