panel set twindow_function curve_curve
The curve_curve function returns the COMPONENT of a force due to curve_curve you identify in the CURVE_CURVE_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.

Curve_curve_name | Existing curve_curve | Specifies an existing curve_curve constraint. |
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 curve_curve by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the curve_curve is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the curve_curve is displayed.
If you created the curve_curve by reading an Adams data set or graphics file, the curve_curve name is the letters CCU followed by the Adams data set curve_curve ID number. For example, the name of Adams CVCV/101 is CCU101. If you created the curve_curve during preprocessing, you will have given it a name at that time.
If a curve_curve 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 curve_curve under an model, for instance, you may need to enter the model name as well. For example, you may specify CVCV101 from the model named test by entering ".test.CCU101". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the curve_curves available by default.
You must separate multiple curve_curve names by commas.
If the curve_curve 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 curve_curve 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 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.
