Abstract: An email message is automatically generated when a sensor monitoring a machine detects a predetermined machine condition, such as a fault condition. When a predetermined condition is sensed, the sensor signals a local computer unit which, in turn, generates an email message that identifies the sensor, machine and site in the address of the email message. The email address for the sensor is included in the addressee line of the message. Accordingly, the addressor line of the message identifies the sensor that detected the machine condition, the machine on which the sensor is mounted and the plant location for the machine.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing a baseline geometry and, optionally, a modified geometry. The method can include generating a numerical representation of a baseline geometry having baseline elements identified with first identifiers or element identifiers, and then assigning second identifiers or analyzer identifiers to the elements. A selected characteristic of the geometry, such as structural loading, is analyzed with reference to the second or analyzer identifiers. At least one of the elements of the geometry can then be altered in a manner that at least partially automatically adjusts the surrounding geometry, and the same first identifier or element identifier is associated with the altered element as was associated with the baseline, unaltered element. The altered geometry can be analyzed with respect to a third identifier (or another analyzer identifier) and a correspondence between the identifiers, the baseline element, and the altered element can be established and maintained.
