Simulating window breakage

[jmzeddy1]

If you have several windows in a simulation, is it possible to simulate different times at which the windows will break. I have several windows in a simulation, I used ctl to see if they can open at different times when a heat detector located on each window reach a particular temperature. However, they all seem to open at the same time. Is there a way to specify different ctl. for each window so they open at different times within the simulation.
Thank You

To use a heat detector as a trigger to make your window obstruction go away (i.e. break):

1. Right click the window obstruction and click Properties
2. In the Obstruction Properties dialog, in the General tab, in the Activation box, click <New...>
3. Name the control and click OK
4. Under Input Type, click Detector
5. The descriptive text will change to: "Create <Obstruction> when <nothing> activates. Delay creation by 0.0 s.
6. Click <nothing>, select the corresponding heat detector, then click OK.
7. Click OK a couple times to return to PyroSim.

If that is the process you are following and detector-based activation isn't triggering, I'll need to look over your PSM file to tell you more.
