Position sensor at porosity centroid

dhalpin

In Inspire Cast 2025.1, I am trying to setup a Design Exploration with Sensors watching for porosity. I would like to run an initial analysis to determine the porosity locations, and then "extract porosity locations" somehow so I know where to position the sensors. Is this possible?

At the moment it seems I have to visually take note of the porosity locations, but that visual porosity indicator disappears when I jump over to the "Add Sensors" toolbar, so I am having a very difficult time putting the sensors where they need to be.

Hi,

Greetings,

To know the porosity co-ordinates, just create a callout on the porosity location and click plot.
(If the porosity is within the part and not on the surface then to create a callout at the porosity center use the section plane).

After creating the callout, click on plot and press right click on the plot to export it in the .csv format. In the .csv file the first three values are the callout position co-ordinates.
You can use these co-ordinates to create a sensor by just click on the part and provide the values for the XYZ axis.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks.
