panel set twindow_function field
The FIELD function returns the force COMPONENT for the FIELD you identify in the FIELD_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 |
|---|
field_name | Existing Field | Specifies an existing bushing. |
return_value_on_marke | 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. Specifies an existing field which you want information on.
You may identify a field by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the field is not visible on the screen, you must type the name.
You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the field is displayed.
If you created the field by reading an Adams data set file, the field name is 'FIE'. If you created the field during preprocessing, you will have given it a name at that time.
If a field 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 field under a different model, for instance, you may need to enter the model name as well. For example, you may specify field 'fld1' from model 'robot' by entering ".robot.fld1". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the fields available by default.
You must separate multiple field names by commas.
If the field 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 field 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.
