floating_marker copy
Allows copying an existing floating marker.
Floating marker specifies a site for applying forces or constraints to parts. The force or constraint dictates the location and orientation of the floating marker. Therefore, you do not specify a position for a floating marker. This allows the floating marker’s location and orientation to change with respect to its body coordinate system during the simulation, as dictated by the force or constraint.
The marker can be copied by using this command.
Format:
floating_marker copy |

floating_marker_name = | an existing fmarker |
new_floating_marker_name = | a new fmarker |
Example:
floating_marker copy & |

floating_marker_name = | FMARKER_12 & |
new_floating_marker_name = | fmarker_121 |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |

floating_marker_name | An Existing Fmarker | Specifies the name of an existing floating marker |
new_floating_marker_name | A New Fmarker | Specifies a new name for the copied floating marker |
Extended Definition:
1. The floating marker has no position or orientation specified. The position and orientation of the floating marker changes while simulation according to the mode of application of force or constraint or location of the force on the moving body. For example, the orientation of the force may be set as moving with the body, fixed in space or between two bodies, which decides the position and orientation of the force while simulation.
2. The floating marker can be copied to a new floating marker, where a new name can be specified for the same.
