■Reference marker

■Force magnitude

■Force graphics

Learn about Multi-Component Forces.

For the option:	Do the following:
Force Name	Enter the name of the general force to modify.
Action Part/ Action Marker	Change the action body or marker to which the force is applied.
Reaction Part/ Reaction Marker	Change the reaction body or marker that receives the reaction forces.
Reference Marker	Change the reference marker that indicates the direction of the force.
Define Using	Enter how you want to define the force. Select: ■X,Y,Z Functions to define using a numerical value or function function expression. ■Vector Function (X,Y,Z) ■Subroutine to define using a User-written subroutine.
X Force/ Y Force/ Z Force/ AX Torque/ AY Torque/ AZ Torque	If you selected X,Y,Z Functions for Define Using, enter the following for each component of the force or torque: ■Constant force value ■Function expression To enter a function expression, next to the X Force / Y Force / Z Force / AX Torque / AY Torque / AZ Torque text box, select the More button to display the Function Builder.
XYZ Force/ AXYZ Torque	If you selected Vector Function (X,Y,Z) for Define Using, enter the following for each component of the force or torque: ■Constant force value ■Function expression To enter a function expression, next to the XYZ Force / AXYZ Torque text box, select the More button to display the Function Builder.
Parameters and ID	If you selected Subroutine for Define Using, enter the parameters to be passed to a user-written subroutine and the ID of the force being modified.
Routine	Specify an alternative library and name for the user subroutine GFOSUB. Learn about specifying routines with ROUTINE Argument.
Force Display	Set to whether you want to display force graphics for one of the parts, both, or none. By default, Adams View displays the force graphic on the action body.
