Pairing page

The filters are case-sensitive, and support wildcards. The default wildcard of * displays all entries in the list. For example, to filter the list to display every entity with a name starting with the letter "a," enter a* as the filter string.

Click Filter to display the filtered sensors in the pairing table.

• Sensor—Displays the name of the sensors.

• Element or Node—Displays the element or node ID from the original solution model.

• Distance (units)—Displays the distance between the sensors and the element or node. The distance unit is inferred from the original solution.

• Pairing Method—Displays the method used to pair the element or node from the simulation model with the sensors.

You can click any column heading to sort the list in ascending or descending alphabetical order or numerical order.

• Manual—Lets you manually select the elements or nodes in the simulation model to pair with the selected sensors, one at the time.

• Proximity—Automatically selects the closest elements or nodes in the simulation model to pair with the selected sensors. With the proximity method, you can select one or more sensors and pair them automatically with their closest elements or nodes.

Lets you select the element or node to be paired with the selected sensor. To limit the type of objects that you can select, use the Type Filter list on the Top Border bar.

You can use Stacked Smart Selector Methods to specify a progression of smart selection filters. For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box in the Simcenter 3D Online help.

• To add your entries to the selected objects, type the element or node label unique ID and press Enter or click Select .
• To edit your selection, click Edit Element Selection/Edit Node Selection .
