Hello Karthic,

/ACTIV can be used to deactivate/activate an element group using sensors.All elements belonging to specified groups are deactivated when the sensor is activated.  User has to create a  sensor for the same and the same has to be recalled in this card and the element group to deactivated has to be also recalled in the same card. You can find the card in Tools> Create Cards-->Control Cards-->ACTIV

Unfortunately, we dont have any example files for the same.

 

Please go through Example 12 - Jumping Bicycle in Help Menu  which shows simulation of a sequence of events managed using 'sensors'. The model file is attached for your reference.

Hi Karthic,

Review the file in HyperCrash and from RADIOSS Tools> select Sensors and review each sensor.

I am attaching a simple spring model with a distance sensor and /ACTIV card.

Please review the engine out file  where you can see the element deactivation as soon as sensor is activated.
