CVCV

The CVCV function returns component comp of a force or torque due to CVCV/id as calculated in the coordinate system of marker rm. If jflag is set to zero, the value returned is the force/torque acting on the IFLOAT marker of the CVCV. If jflag is set to one, the value returned is that acting on the JFLOAT marker. rm may be specified as zero if the results are desired in the global coordinate system.

Format

CVCV (id, jflag, comp, rm)

Arguments

 
id
An integer specifying the identification number of a curve_curve constraint.
jflag
An integer flag specifying the curve_curve constraint marker at which the forces and torques are computed.

0 = forces and moments at the IFLOAT marker
1 = forces and moment at the JFLOAT marker
comp
An integer value that specifies the component of the curve_curve constraint to be returned.

1 = Magnitude of the force
2 = x component of the force
3 = y component of the force
4 = z component of the force
5 = Magnitude of the torque
6 = x component of the torque
7 = y component of the torque
8 = z component of the torque
rm
The coordinate system in which the results are expressed. To return the results in the global coordinate system, set rm = 0
