panel set twindow_function bushing
The BUSHING function returns a force COMPONENT for the BUSHING you identify in the BUSHING_NAME parameter.
The force or torque is calculated in the coordinate system of the REFERENCE_MARKER. If the RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "i", the value returned is the force or torque acting on the I_MARKER of the force/torque generating element. If the RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "j", the value returned is that acting on the J_MARKER. If the REFERENCE_MARKER is not specified, the results are with respect to the ground coordinate system.
Format:

Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
Bushing_name | Existing Bushing | Specifies an existing bushing. |
return_value_on_marker | Marker_type | Specifies for which marker on the force element (i or j) the function will return force values. |
component | FM, FX, FY, FZ, TM, TX, TY, TZ | Specifies the specific COMPONENT of force or torque that the function is to return for the force element. |
reference_marker | Existing Marker | Specifies a marker that provides a reference coordinate system for the function. |
Extended Definition:
1. You may identify a bushing by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the bushing is not visible on the screen, you must type the name.
You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the bushing is displayed.
If you created the bushing by reading an Adams data set or graphics file, the bushing name is the letters BUS followed by the Adams data set bushing ID number. For example, the name of AdamsAdams BUSHING/101 is BUS101. If you created the bushing during preprocessing, you will have given it a name at that time.
If a bushing is available by default, you may identify it by entering only its name. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify a bushing under a different model, for instance, you may need to enter the model name as well. For example, you may specify bushing 'lower_front' from model 'sla' by entering ".sla.lower_front". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the bushings available by default.
You must separate multiple bushing names by commas.
If the bushing is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
You need not separate multiple bushing picks by commas.
2. The force or torque is calculated in the coordinate system of the REFERENCE_MARKER. If the RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "i", the value returned is the force or torque acting on the I_MARKER of the force/torque generating element. If the RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "j", the value returned is that acting on the J_MARKER. If the REFERENCE_MARKER is not specified, the results are with respect to the ground coordinate system.
3. The value for the COMPONENT parameter is one of fm, fx, fy, fz, tm, tx, ty, or tz.
The force or torque is calculated in the coordinate system of the REFERENCE_MARKER. If the RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "i", the value returned is the force or torque acting on the I_MARKER of the force/torque generating element. If the RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "j", the value returned is that acting on the J_MARKER. If the REFERENCE_MARKER is not specified the results are with respect to the ground coordinate system.
