Vector Scaling

Scales the translational and/or rotational vectors for any displacement, velocity, acceleration, or force request.
Input:
REQ/id, FUNCTION = USER (1114,itype,imrkr,jmrkr,rmrkr,tsc,rsc)
where:
 
 
Description
itype
=

1 = displacement
2 = velocity
3 = acceleration
4 = force
imrkr
=
I MARKER id
jmrkr
=
J MARKER id
rmrkr
=
reference MARKER id
tsc
=
scale factor to be multiplied to the translational vectors
rsc
=

Column Number Output:
1. Scaled X translational vector magnitude
2. Scaled Y translational vector magnitude
3. Scaled Z translational vector magnitude
4. Scaled yaw rotational vector magnitude
5. Scaled pitch rotational vector magnitude
6. Scaled roll rotational vector magnitude
Notes on Input and Output
The scale factors can take any positive or negative value. For example, to turn translational lateral accelerations from mm/s-s to g's:
tsc = 1/9807 = 1.01967E-04 g/mm/s-s
