panel set twindow_function motion
The MOTION function returns the force COMPONENT caused by the MOTION you identify in the MOTION_NAME parameter.
Format:
panel set twindow_function motion |
|---|
motion_name = | an existing motion |
return_value_on_marker = | marker_type |
component = | all_components |
reference_marker = | an existing marker |
Example:
panel set twindow_function motion |
|---|
panel set twindow_function single_component_force return_value_on_marker = | i & |
panel set twindow_function single_component_force component = | fx & |
panel set twindow_function single_component_force reference_marker = | marker_84 |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
motion_name | An Existing Motion | Specifies an existing motion generator. |
return_value_on_marker | Marker_type | Specifies for which marker on the force element (i or j) the function will return force values |
component | All_components | Specifies the specific COMPONENT of force or torque that the function is to return for the force element. |
reference_marker | An Existing Marker | Specifies a marker that provides a reference coordinate system for the function. |
Extended Definition:
1. 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.
2. You may identify a motion generator by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the motion generator is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the motion generator is displayed.
If you created the motion generator by reading an Adams data set file, its name is the letters MOT followed by the Adams data set ID number. The name of Adams MOTION/101 is MOT101, for example. If you created the motion generator during preprocessing, you gave it a name at that time.
If a motion generator is available by default, you may identify it by entering its name only. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify a motion generator under a model, for instance, you may need to enter the model name as well. For example, you may specify motion generator 'servo' in model 'links' by entering ".links.servo". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the motion generators available by default.
3. 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 respec to the ground coordinate system.
4. 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.
5. The force or torque is calculated in the coordinate system of the REFERENCE_MARKER. If the REFERENCE_MARKER is not specified the results are with respect to the ground coordinate system.
Cautions:
1. You must separate multiple motion-generator names by commas.
Tips:
1. If the motion generator is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
2. You need not separate multiple motion-generator picks by commas.
