INFO
The INFO command lists the vector components for the displacement, velocity, or acceleration of one marker with respect to another or displays force values at the current simulation time. This command resolves components in the ground coordinate system (GCS) or in another specified reference frame.
Format
Arguments
ACCELERATION | Lists the accelerations of the I marker minus the accelerations of the J marker. Adams Solver (FORTRAN) reports translational accelerations in units of displacement per time squared and rotational accelerations in units of radians per time squared. |
DISPLACEMENT | Lists the x, y, z, psi, theta, and phi displacements of the I marker with respect to the J marker. Adams Solver (FORTRAN) reports translational displacements in units of displacement and rotational displacements in units of radians. |
FORCE | Lists the components for the force at the I marker. A BEAM, BUSHING, CVCV, FIELD, GFORCE, JOINT, JPRIM, MOTION, NFORCE, PTCV, SFORCE, SPRINGDAMPER, VFORCE, or VTORQUE statement can define the force. You should include both the I and the J arguments to measure the action-reaction force(s) between two markers (I, J). You should include the I argument and either give zero as the J argument or omit the J argument altogether to measure the action-only force(s) at a marker (I). |
I=id | Specifies the identifier of the fixed or floating marker for which Adams Solver (FORTRAN) is to measure displacements, velocities, accelerations, or action forces. |
J=id | Specifies the identifier of the fixed or floating marker with respect to which Adams Solver (FORTRAN) is to measure the displacements, velocities, or accelerations of the I marker, or the identifier of the marker for which Adams Solver (FORTRAN) is to measure reaction forces. |
RM=id | Specifies the identifier of the fixed or floating marker relative to which Adams Solver (FORTRAN) resolves displacements, velocities, accelerations, or forces. If a value for the RM argument is not set or if the RM argument is set equal to zero, Adams Solver (FORTRAN) resolves the displacements, velocities, accelerations, or forces in the ground coordinate system (GCS). |
VELOCITY | Lists the velocities of the I marker minus the velocities of the J marker. Translational velocities are given in units of displacement per time. Rotational displacements are given in units of radians per time. |
Examples
INFO/ DISP, I=10, J=15, RM=43
This INFO command lists the x, y, z, psi, theta, and phi displacements of Marker 10 with respect to Marker 15. Adams Solver (FORTRAN) measures x, y, and z in the Cartesian coordinates of Marker 43.
INFO/ ACC, I=12, J=100
This INFO command lists the x, y, and z translational and rotational accelerations of Marker 12 with respect to Marker 100. Adams Solver (FORTRAN) measures x, y, and z in the Cartesian coordinates of the ground coordinate system (GCS).
